Have you noticed how mental stress is not only limited to your mind? How stress always affects the body too and that is why in the long term stress will have detrimental effects on your overall health. Prolonged this will lead to diseases like cardiovascular disease, gastrointestinal problems such as acid reflux or IBS, infertility, skin problems etc.
I think the mistake many make is that we try to relieve bodily stress and tension with ways that create more stress and tension like doing exhaustive workouts or even more crazy, without actually involving our body in the process at all!
We might sit and meditate, medicate stress with food or which of our brains by watching movies. We only manage stress on the surface but don´t address the tensions rooted in our body.
Luckily freeing yourself from held patterns of stress and tension is not hard.
I was researching and found a solution that utilizes the old wisdom of movement practices like yoga but in a way that fits effortlessly into our everyday lives and western understanding.
After studying many types of systems of bodywork and movement practices Dr Ida Pauline Rolf developed a method of soft tissue manipulation and movement education called Rolfing
. She observed and concluded that when we get the force of gravity flowing through our body then the body heals itself.
Now this method is taught by Lael Keen who is an instructor for the Dr. Ida Rolf Institute. She has helped people over 20 years to dissolve stress and old patterns of tension and find their natural healthy posture. Rolfing movement is an effortless method of releasing stress and tension that can fit our modern lifestyle.
Finally you can let go of worrying about how stress is having a negative effect on your health. You want to be able to relax and move joyfully through life.
Now you can unwind your bodily stress and tension in a way that can be a natural part of your daily life and goes with you wherever you go.
