Coping with stress
Do situations in your day-to-day interactions have an effect on you, such as unground you and scatter your energy in a disturbing manner?
In order to escape from a pattern of worrying, you have to get in touch with the concept of 'now' and allow your thoughts to drift away, by using the following technique:
- Sit quietly in a chair and place your hands over your eyes with palms resting over your
cheeks;
- Move your hands to your head - cupping it on either side and allowing your fingertips to
meet at the top. this will relax you and help you to think clearly.
- Hold the back of your head in the same way, to relax the mind and calm you down. This
makes you feel secure.
- Place your hands on either side of your chest, with your fingertips meeting in the centre. This
will help release any negativity you have been experiencing and encourage feelings of
positivity.
- Finally, place your hands on your lower back, pointing downward. The stress should subside
at this point.
