As you read these few paragraphs you will hear a beginning
class of Stress Management by Elisabeth Connor. Please be
patient this takes a while to load. The background will repeat so listen the
her after you read our comments, and visit one of our classes. This is one of
the essential components of reversing heart disease. I want to thank Elisabeth
for helping with the CD'S we made to continue our life style change.

Stress can be defined as the response of the human organism
to any change or demand. Whether the demand or stress is positive
or negative, the body responds automatically.
Techniques: An important component of this program involves
opening your heart to your feelings and to inner peace through the
practice of a variety of stress management and relaxation
techniques: Stretching, Deep Breathing, Imagery, Meditation, and
Progressive Relaxation.
These techniques are much more than simple strategies to help
us cope with or manage stress. They are designed to increase our
awareness of what is happening inside us - physically, emotionally
and spiritually. Increasing our awareness extends our control over
what is happening within us. As a result, we are better prepared to
recognize the symptoms of stress and make changes before we develop
unhealthy conditions such as heart disease.
