Stress Reduction and the Healing Process
Today’s blog addresses the relationship between stress reduction, a healthy gut, and the healing process.
You may have wondered … why can some people eat anything and not get sick? Genetics of course, play a a small role. However, the number one cause of gut dis-ease is stress related. Right up there with diet and exercise, stress reduction is the best thing we can do for health and happiness.
Don’t worry … the pat answer “Relax, be happy,” is not what this blog is about. You have heard that one before; and I know if you could … you would. Our minds are conditioned to lean towards the familiar, and for many of us, that is fear, stress, and agitation. Let’s begin to change that right now!
Stress Reduction and Fertility
My personal experience proves what a powerful role stress reduction can play in healing. After my third miscarriage, I found a therapist, Niravi Payne, who pioneered the understanding of the mind/body connection in fertility. After diagnosing my stress level at 10 on a scale of 1-10 (although friends and family thought of me as easy-going); she taught me some simple stress reduction techniques that I quickly mastered. In three months, I became pregnant with Luke, now 22. Having zero problems during my pregnancy, I was able to deliver a natural birth at home. Stress reduction techniques really do work!
