Stress Relief Meditation
Posted in theta healing topics on 11/20/2008 06:57 pm by admin

What do I need to know about the basics of meditating?
I’ve been suffering from stress/anxiety for several months now, and my doctor recommended meditation as a form of relief. What do I need to know, and/or are there sites, books, etc that I should look into? Thanks in advance!
Here are a couple of simple breathing meditation techniques:
Technique 1:
Breathing in, I know I’m breathing in.
Breathing out, I know I am breathing out.
Silently repeat this simple phrase with each in and out breath until you have focused in on the rise and fall of your abdomen associated with each breath. Then simply observe the breath for the prescribed period of time. Thoughts will arise – don’t engage them or repress them. Simply watch them float by like clouds in your bright, clear mind sky.
Technique 2:
In, one – Out, one…
In, two – Out, two…
up to ten.
Then, In, nine – Out, nine…
down to one
Then back up to ten.
All the while keep your mental focus on the rise and fall of your abdomen at the point just below your navel.
Repeat for prescribed period of time (I recommend 20 minutes starting out – try using a timer, however you might want to keep it out of reach).
Here’s a video demonstration of seated meditation with some variations:

Sources of Stress and Relief for African American Women $36.4 African American women are dying youngerand at a higher ratethan their white counterparts. Collins shows us how stress plays a role in many of the most common fatal diseases, including heart disease, hypertension, cancer, and diabetes. Studies worldwide have revealed the relationship of stress to disease, citing evidence that African American women may be wired for stress. Written from an afrocentric point of view, Collinss volume investigates sources of stress in the home and workplace. She reviews historical events that planted roots of stress for African American women, including slavery, racism, and the economic and social pressures currently facing African American men. Collins also understands the subtle, everyday stressors that are not typically heralded in history or medical books: standing for minutes at a department store counter, or waiting for help, only to be bypassed by a clerk aiming to wait on a white person who has just arrived. This book offers methods of stress reduction from a popular walking program to biofeedback, meditation, massage, yoga, and breathing exercises. Also highlighted are foods that contribute to stress and herbs that may help eliminate it. Author: Collins, Catherine Fisher Series Title: Race and Ethnicity in Psychology Binding Type: Paperback Number of Pages: 129 Publication Date: 2003/07/30 Language: English Dimensions: 8.80 x 5.90 x 0.40 inches |
