HOW SELF HEALING CAN REDUCE YOUR STRESS AND ANXIETY

A lot of stress and anxiety comes from a lot of runaway thoughts due to a given problem, or a collective of them, be it at home or the office or wherever. And how does one effectively relieve stress and anxiety? Are all these all in your head? How will you cope? Did you know that you can use your mind to fully utilize your innate healing power?

Tap the power of self-healing. You are born with a powerful ability to heal.

Every day we always experience different circumstances that will either help us motivate our being or the other way around due to a stressful day. If your day is full pleasure and excitement, you have all the reason to be thankful because it will add more meaning to your life and the reason to live. But if your day is the other way around, full of anxiety and stress, well, let me tell you this. It’s time for you to take a deep breath and relax, because at the end of the day you are responsible of your own actions, actions that will either benefit your health or turn it for the worst ruin — your health that can lead to sickness.

According to Jay Winner, MD, author of Take the Anxiety Out of Your Life and director of the Stress Management Program for Sansum Clinic in Santa Barbara, California, anxiety doesn't only make us feel awful emotionally, it can also exacerbate just about any health condition you can think of.

Studies have found many health problems connected to anxiety. It can worsen or increase the risk of conditions like heart diseases, Alzheimer’s disease, gastrointestinal problems, depression, obesity, headaches, diabetes and asthma. Anxiety is somehow a part of our daily routine and we can’t deny it nor avoid it. There are many reasons why we get stressed. It could be your boss, work load, office mates, clients, deadlines, overdue loans, mortgage, etc. But you have to remember the reasons why we work so hard. And that is to earn money for our family and future plans. That's just one of the reasons why we continue to strive and do what we do on a daily basis. Work hard and hope for a better tomorrow.

Here are some aid tips that can help reduce your anxiety and lower your health risks.

1. Learn how to manage life’s unavoidable stresses. Inhale and exhale, take a deep breathe, relax once and a while and think of the reasons for your existence.

2. Live one day at a time and eat healthy food.

3. Keep calm and do some exercises and focus on the positive side.

4. Listen to inspirational songs and music that can help boost your being and can help you motivate to do well remember music can change your mood.

5. Look at that time as an opportunity and be thankful for the opportunity to work and to live.

6. Think about the things for which you’re grateful - that you have family and friends that you can see and talk to.

7. Take some time to meditate and practice sound therapy

Dreams vs. Video Games As Alternate Realities

According to a psychologist named Jayne Gackenbach, people who played immersive video games were more likely to report lucid dreams. Gamers never had dream control over anything beyond their dream selves but they also were able to change perspectives from first person to observer as if floating outside of their body. They didn’t code nightmares as “threatening.” Rather, they seemed to be having fun with dream situations that non-gamers coded as nightmares.

Psychologists consider nightmares as one of the symptoms of PTSD, and studies have shown incredibly high rates of nightmares ranging from 71 to 96 percent among PTSD patients. By contrast, just 3 to 5 percent of civilians reported the same levels of nightmares.

Virtual reality simulators have already been used to help PTSD patients gradually adjust to the threatening situations that plague their waking and sleeping thoughts.

But do video games affect your ability to lucid dream? Can lucid dreaming be inspired by video games? Is there any correlation between the two?

Since then, any time a dream has become frightening, the fear has triggered a lucid state. It always follows the same pattern:

· Something in the dream causes fear

· The fear makes you lucid

· You may shout "this is my dream!"

The lucidity allows you to overcome the fear.

Whatever you do during the day can become the kindling for dreams you have at night. Have you ever spent a lot of the day doing a particular activity, and then found yourself doing the same thing in your dream? What if that activity was a type of virtual reality? Would that virtual reality become your dream reality?

No matter what we do in the game, we're still sitting in a comfortable couch in a warm house. The reinforcement that nothing can actually hurt us can transfer into our dream world, transforming our nightmares into lucid dreams.

Finding’s shows how hardcore gaming affects the gamer's experience and reaction to nightmares. They grow resistant to them, in the sense that bad dreams aren't as likely to wake them up, and gamers are more likely to take control of them as a lucid main character and, perhaps, even find them enjoyable. This has rolled over into a theory that gaming can have an effect in dealing with real-life waking threats, as well.

The distinction with between Reality, Virtual Reality, and Lucid Dreams are becoming harder to distinguish. However what is present in all of them is that the brain is a remarkable tool and we are only just beginning to understand its potential. Games have provided Gamers with an introduction into alternative realities allowing Gamers this extra special skill for Lucid Dreaming, as their mind has already been trained to understand that multiple realities can exist at once. How will these new Realities change the world we live in?

How to Stop the Nightmares and Bad Dreams

The conscious mind needs to be "turned off" for sleep and dreams to occur. Dreams contain very important messages, even bad dreams or nightmares. When you understand the hidden messages of the unconscious mind, you understand the mistakes you are making. You also learn how to correct these mistakes and do only what is positive for you. Nightmares can be extremely unpleasant, causing fear and anxiety and affecting quality of your sleep. This can lead to physical tiredness and mental stress.

Dreams occur with specific brain waves and images and thoughts different from the normal waking state, so the dream state is usually thought of as a product of the subconscious mind. Images from the present and past are combined in ways experienced as illogical, and the dreamer is usually unable to move so that the dreams are not converted to motion.

Here are the some tips that aimed at cultivating a healthier sleep and dream life.

1. Learn to relax.

Various techniques, tapes, music and supplements are available to promote relaxation. The hemi-sync tapes or CDs can be very useful in learning relaxation. Medication can provide assistance in difficult cases and then can be phased out as new skills are learned.


2. Inhibit intrusive negative imagery and promote positive imagery. 

Positive imagery techniques include developing and practicing thoughts/images of "special places" which are beautiful, safe and comfortable. After these techniques are learned and practiced they can be used to counter the negative images from trauma dreams.










3. Change dream scenarios into more positive and productive dramas. 

Imagery rehearsal treatment is a type of cognitive therapy which has been found very effective in reducing nightmares in insomnia patients. The individual is encouraged to change the dream story in any way that seems right to them, starting with practice on their less intense bad dreams. Practice during the day is also necessary to learn the skills involved in re-scripting dreams. The middle and end of the dream should be changed to make it more positive or acceptable. Because bad dreams are repetitive it is best to write down the new dream script and practice it for short periods of time daily so it becomes a learned habit stronger than the old dream. Like for an example, if you are dreaming of a typhoon or tornado, the new dream could be that the weatherman announces there are no typhoon in the area and the dreamer looks outside to see the sun shining. A fantasy response could be that the dreamer becomes a superperson who fights the tornado and flings it back into the sky while crowds cheer. Pick a positive ending to a disturbing dream, write it down and then practice the new ending while you are awake.



4. Avoid eating before bed.

Eating before bed can trigger nightmares, as food speeds up your metabolism and sends signals to your brain to become more active. Therefore, it's a good idea to cut out bedtime snacks, particularly those that are high in sugar.

5. Get more physical exercise. 

Tiring yourself out with physical exercise is a great way to improve your sleep. You can choose an activity that you enjoy whether it's running, strength training, dancing, rowing or rock climbing and work out 3 to 5 times a week. Schedule it for the morning if you can. Just don't exercise right before bed. It will leave you too amped up for sleep.


Your dreams will have a totally different meaning. They will reflect your progress, instead of reflecting your mistakes. You will be able to make very important future predictions after seeing meaningful dream warnings. Instead of dreaming about dangerous situations and bad events, you’ll see positive dream symbols, and learn many things you ignore.

Now... are you ready to step into the Dream World?

How to Get High. No Drugs Needed.

How to Get High. No Drugs Needed.

Did this article's title grab your attention? Good! We've listed below some ways for you to get "high" without the consumption of dangerous and addictive drugs. Think it's impossible? Think again. A lot of you don't even know that you are already feeling that natural high on a daily basis.

We take things for granted a lot, especially the little things that we do every day. Due to the high demands of our lifestyles, be it from work or school, or society, we find ourselves in a rush to get things done. This leaves us with feelings of stress, exhaustion and fatigue. What we end up with during our free time would be to catch up on our favorite TV shows, or play computer games, or go out to town for a night of drinking or splurging. Work hard, party harder, right?

Well, that kind of routine makes a person look at the world as a mundane experience. Deep inside you wish for some kind of other excitement to fill your soul. And this is where we will talk about the different ways you can get that Natural High and Raise your Vibration.


1. Meditate Daily 
You don't need to be a master of meditation. The simple, basic forms of meditation done on a daily basis will give you wondrous results. The simplest form of meditation is for you to find a quiet spot, sit in a comfortable position, relax and close your eyes. Start by being aware of your surroundings. Of that itch on your leg. Be aware of your body and of your breathing. Get yourself used to taking in deep breaths, inhaling through the nose and exhaling through the mouth. For simple meditations, you don't need to do it for a long time. Quieting your mind for at least five minutes is good. You can also take this opportunity to cleanse and activate your energy hotspots, or Chakras, in your body.



Meditation will lower your blood pressure, relieves you from stress and tension, and releases the Alpha brainwave pattern which correlates to healing, emotional stability and overall balance. Once you regularize meditation into your daily life, you will notice some positive changes within and around you. And once you acknowledge them, you will definitely feel a different kind of high. You will feel being High on Life.

2. Pranayama or Deep Breathing 
Prāṇāyāma is a Sanskrit word meaning the extension of the breath (known as prāṇa) or the extension of the life force. Its origins can be traced to ancient India, and is mostly practiced in yoga. Doing a conscious, deeper intake of oxygen repeated multiple times in one sitting will give you a natural high and will greatly expand the consciousness and awareness. Physically, you will feel light-headed, and your heart rate might speed up a little bit. These are just normal reactions due to the fact that this is all new to your body and much different than our regular automatic breathing pattern. The basic method of the pranayama is to breathe in deep through the nose, holding it for a few counts and then exhaling slowly out through the mouth. Be aware of your diaphragm as you do this. Deep breathing should not be limited to the chest only.



Here is a great website to tell you more about what the pranayama is all about.

Just as a side-note, I have a friend who had been doing yoga, and during their pranayama session he swore he felt and saw, through closed eyes, a huge difference happening within him. He was aware of these vibrations all around him and had seen vibrant color spectrums and unexplainable visuals. But his overall sensation was of ecstasy, the natural kind. It was highly probable that his pineal gland had opened, or that the natural DMT in his body came out stronger as compared to before.

3. Altered States of Mind through Binaural Beats and other brainwave entrainments
Binaural beats is slowly becoming known to more and more people nowadays. Scientifically, it has been proven that certain brainwave frequencies are connected to a specific state of mind, emotion or physical attribute. Some physical and emotional sensations you will feel while listening to a binaural beat track would be tingling sensations on the head and the skin, vibrations that flow up and down your body, feeling of bliss and even a floating sensations. Since many of our original music therapy beats are dedicated to sleep, relaxation, meditation and healing, those are just some of the natural highs you will perceive.

4. Love Making, not just sex. Love making is much more intimate than just having sex. If you would like to connect better with your partner, do so in a subconscious level. Let your emotions of love and bliss flow through you and share them with your loved one. For many in today's society, sex is just that. An erotic private moment. But if you involve more than just your body to the act, you will notice a difference. The raw, animalistic hunger can turn into something so much more. The Kama Sutra, or other tantric practices should actually be studied and understood further by the rest of the sexually-active society. They are not just mere sexual positions. They have an underlying spiritual connection about them. The word Tantra is Sanskrit for "woven together". This is the sexual union of weaving man, woman and the divine together within the physical and the spiritual planes. It is such a delicate, important and sacred practice to become one with God.

5. The 33 Spinning Technique
Honestly, this is one of the new things we've learned about recently, as we do our daily research on how to further raise our vibrations and be connected with everything around us. The 33 Spinning technique can basically help your DNA, pineal gland, and vibratory energy fields, and it is something very easy to do. You start off by selecting your base point, could be a chair or a painting on the wall. This will be your count-clicker. Stretch out your arms and using your thumb as your main focal point, start spinning in a clockwise direction, or to your right. Spin slowly at first until after much practice you'll be able to let go and spin yourself into bliss while maintaing balance. After 33 counts, stop by steadying your feet firmly on the ground, lock your knees and do your best to stand still. Focus your eyes at something in the distance. This simple exercise, if done daily, will raise your spiritual awareness and vibration, leaving you feeling high and happy.

Other ways for you to get that natural high are:

Do Things That You Enjoy like doing physical exercise, which will produce endorphins, like running or jogging, or how about dancing? Have you ever tried just dancing without pattern or not even following steps? Just loosen yourself up and dance like crazy. Soon enough you will feel like you are in a trance-like state, and this is the great area to be in when your mind is reaching an altered state.

For the creatives out there, like music lovers or musicians, listening or creating music will always have this amazing medicine for the soul. Even singing, especially those who can do the head-tones, will feel a rush from their head all the way down to their toes.

And for those who would like to start off at an easy pace, you can achieve a good, natural high by eating dark chocolate, laugh a lot whole-heartedly, and look at the world through the eyes of a child, grasping the magic and wonder from mother nature.
