There are many things that can greatly reduce stress and anxiety, promoting relaxation and peace of mind.
Here are two:
1. Listening to Binaural beats.
Within a few minutes of listening to binaural beats you begin to really relax, releasing stress and anxiety from your mind and body. You can experience vivid visualizations, a separation of the conscious and subconscious mind and a feeling of sedation or total weightlessness.
Binaural beats work by playing two separate frequencies into each ear. Your brain compensates for the difference, creating an internal frequency which tunes you into a theta operating state.
This can occur when are awake or asleep, so avoid driving or operating machinery when listening to Binaural Beats.
You can Google Binaural Beat music to locate CDs right now. I’ll also have CDs available mid-to late September on my website.
2. Begin with talking to yourself in your mind in s- l- o -w motion.
This slows and stops everything else that is going on in your mind, focusing the mind on what you are saying in s -l-o-w motion.
It slows everything down, and calms all the crazy, wild, drunken bee thoughts.
As you continue doing this, your body begins to relax as well.
After a few minutes of this s -l -o -w dialogue in your mind, you might even notice that most or all thoughts have actually stopped.
If you’ve ever experienced racing mind chatter that seems to be a nonstop, restless self-talk persistently running through your mind, this is a technique to handle it.
This technique works well when beginning to learn to meditate, since it slows and clears thoughts from the mind.
