Mind-Body Exercises For Stress Hardiness Optimization

This research-proven collection of mind body exercises offers quick, effective relaxation techniques for stress in first responders, soldiers or anyone engaged in dangerous or traumatizing work. Repeated listening to these relaxation techniques for stress teaches self-regulation and self-calming skills to police, EMT’s, firefighters, soldiers, emergency room personnel and journalists, reminding them how to remain relaxed under pressure and deliver peak, focused performance during difficult and even chaotic situations. Also designed to stabilize the wide biochemical swings produced in the aftermath of acutely stressful events, these stress management relaxation techniques reduce the likelihood of posttraumatic stress developing, by helping mind and body return to healthy homeostasis. These natural, holistic mind body exercises can also reduce or eliminate the need for medication for managing insomnia, anxiety or depression. The stress relaxation techniques on this audio program include 3 brief guided meditation exercises to quickly induce relaxation: breath work, key word repetition and body scanning; and 2 powerful, proven guided imagery exercises, one for deep relaxation and one for restful sleep. Guided imagery is a complementary, mind-body training tool that consists of calming words and images, set to soothing music, to achieve specific healing, wellness or performance goals. Repeated listening once or twice a day for 2-3 weeks ensures maximum impact. Here's the track list:1. Introduction (1:5)2. Conscious Breathing (8:39)3. Word & Phrase Repitition (8:53)4.
