What Happens to Your Immune System During Stress!


Opportunity for Vendors & Sponsors


D


id you know it takes your immune system 6 HOURS to return to homeostasis after only 2 minutes of stress? At two minutes, Let It Go!


It’s well known that “stress is a killer” and prolonged stressful situations can make you sick. When we allow ourselves to remain in a state of stress, our bodies go into fi ght-or-fl ight mode which is very taxing on the immune system, and eventually causes havoc through- out the body. Your heart rate increases, your breathing becomes shallow, your muscles contract, and you may break into a sweat. Your adrenal glands activate the adrenaline rush shooting up your cortisol level, which can eventually lead to belly fat. There are a va- riety of natural, alternative and complementary therapies that can be utilized to help you manage your stress and eventually eliminate it.


A Reiki treatment can cleanse the aura, clear energy blocks


in the chakras and meridians and release subconscious fears. Its beautiful universal light reconnects us to all that is within our heart, realigning us with our Higher Self. Many essential oils such as lavender, chamomile, or yling ylang can work on the pathways of the nervous system to reduce stress and offer a calming effect, sometimes instantly.


Before you sleep, fi nd a guided meditation that speaks to


you with a soothing voice, and listen to it as you drift off to sleep. Crystals such as amethyst induce calming moods and restful sleep. A larger piece can be set on your bedside table, within 4 feet of your aura, or placed under your pillow at night as well. Even something as simple as a few minutes of deep breathing techniques can of- fer tremendous healing to reduce the heart rate and return you to homeostasis.


Whatever methods you fi nd resonate with you to offer you stress relief, it is truly important to learn to recognize what it is that is causing you the stress to begin with. Diet, nutritional defi ciencies, toxins, and lack of exercise can all contribute to a buildup of stress. During a health consultation, I can review many of these common stress triggers with you on a personal level to directly address the root of the problem. From a holistic mind-body-spirit perspective, that is much more important that trying to treat the symptom.
