anxiety and depression. It includes mental exercises to optimize relax- ation, sensory feedback for control of sensations and pain, emotional balanc- ing and attunement with the soul. Here are some of the techniques I have used for over 45 years to reduce stress and prevent disease in my body:
• Be Here Now. Stay in present time.
• Belief in Self. Bio-feedback “proves” to the individual that the mind infl uences body, and as such, what you believe will greatly infl uence your health and stress levels.
• Relaxation. Over a dozen techniques, mostly involving respiration
• Talk to the Body & Mind. Speak health specifi cally to your organs.
• Progressive Relaxation. This is done by tensing and relaxing, and has been shown by Edmund Jacobson to help 80% of patients with chronic diseases.
• Love It. Learn to love, not dislike, your body.
• Collect and Release. An American In- dian tool as preparation for meditation.
• Circulate Electrical Energy. Learn to integrate the concepts of regulating the piezoelectric aspects of the body.
• Expand Your Electromagnetic Field. Learn to release past trauma that is trapped in your body.
• Balance Emotions. Emotions that are out of control create more stress and less awareness, practicing emotional balancing exercises is the key.
• Spiritual Attunement. Strive for true meditation, attunement with the divine.
So, in answer to the question,
“What is your secret?” This is my answer: I have spent over half of my life practicing ancient methods of natural and holistic healing, while working to reduce my stress levels by living in mindfulness and accep- tance and wholeness. That is my secret, and now it is yours too.
