What are the best ways to meditate to achieve stress reduction?
The word ‘stress’ is a little over-used these days. People talk about being under stress when they mean ‘pressure’ (a deadline at work for example). Stress is more of a generalised and largely constant pressure (often the amalgamation of a number of situations and factors, past, present and future). For very serious stress, it is extremely important to speak to a qualified physician, particularly if you’re losing a lot of sleep, sufferning tightness in the chest, blackouts, anything at all of that nature. If, however, you’re suffering from stress (not merely pressure) but your health is good (you’re just feeling generally miserable, weighed-down etc), there are a number of ‘alternative’ approaches, from ‘binaural beats’ to ‘stress management systems’. Here’s a good place to start. Good luck. Sources: http://www.1perso
