Stress Support and Insights

Dec 09, 2021

By IBA Office

Holidays approaching, never-ending viral strains, travel restrictions, business slowing down at the end of the year, or business picking up depending on your industry, inflation. The list of things to set our nerves on edge can be never-ending. As such, ways to relieve stress should always remain a top priority.

We have some tools at our immediate disposal to help settle down an overactive stress response. There's the Cortices technique (for self and others), the BodyTalk Access routine, or spending time in our mental MindScape workshop. Then there's general self-care like getting enough sleep, meditation and exercise.

But, at times, we may feel we need a little more help. In these cases, scheduling a BodyTalk session can be very helpful. Even within the first few minutes of a BodyTalk session, one of the most common responses is a feeling of restfulness, relaxation, and inner peace.

Having a deeper understanding of stress can also be extremely helpful. The left-brain understanding of what's happening in the stress response can help us more deeply intuit why our body reacts to something and how severe the response is, bringing insights that can help us to "re-center."

On PaRama Campus, BodyTalk Founder Dr. John Veltheim offers a pre-recorded group session, Practical Stress Management, that educates students on stress and simultaneously provides a group remote treatment. Viewing the session, you will experience new insights and benefit from the shifts in perspective gained by all those who have listened to date.

From the class:
The cingulate gyrus is where we hold our assumptions about life, our belief systems and our indoctrinations. How strongly we are indoctrinated in any concept or dogma is directly related to the amount of thought we put into it. Whenever we dwell on a certain subject, we lay down a vast array of neural connections in associated brain parts which becomes our "programming." Likewise, by no longer thinking about an object or concept, those nerve fibers begin to die, and the neural connections are no longer supported. ... The mind can be trained to think more positively or negatively, and the body will adapt to those thoughts and bring about the associated biochemical changes. For these reasons, it is important to educate clients on the power of their thoughts, as well as the concept of not identifying so heavily with thinking. Meditation is such a powerful healing mechanism because it breaks the patterns of habitual thinking and starts the process of distinguishing between thoughts and self.

Other topics John addresses in the group session are:

  • Natural stress versus amplified or pathological stress
  • Management and distribution of stress in the body
  • Stress and the intellect
  • Beliefs and the cingulate gyrus
  • The precuneus as the center for our "programmed" sense of self

We hope you are utilizing the various self-care options for stress release. If you need some additional support, consider booking a BodyTalk session or registering for John's Practical Stress Management session to view and reap the benefits at your leisure. The session is $45. We wish you good mental health.
