What if there were forty powerful

yet simple ways to defuse or

eliminate stress in just sixty

seconds or less?

Here they are! Many of these

techniques or activities are most

effective when done in combination

with one or more other techniques.

Some of the most powerful and

practical tools I’ve discovered for

reducing stress and enhancing my

health and the health of others are

from Applied Kinesiology, which came

out of ch iropract ic heal thcare.

I ’ve been us ing Touch For

Health (one form of Kinesiology)

and various other forms of Kinesiology

since 1978.

I am also certified as a Touch For

Health Instructor and as a

professional health provider, having

been trained by some of the best

doctors and teachers in the world,

including Bruce Dewe, M.D., from

New Zealand; John Diamond,

M.D., from Australia; John Thie,

D.C., from California; and Sheldon

Deal, D.C., from Tucson Arizona.

The first four techniques are Touch

For Health techniques you can use

immediately on yourself or on others,

often with astounding results. You will

be surprised as to how well these

techniques or activities work. They

seem to actually normalize your brain

chemistry.

In order to get better results, before

you use a technique, be clear as to

what results you desire, e.g. “I am

relaxed and calm.”

Then rate your current stress from

zero to ten, with ten being the highest

level of stress, and zero being zero

stress. Expect it to decrease at least

50% to 100%.

Many of these techniques you can use

in combination with one or two others

at the same time. They are all easy

to use, and much more effective

than you’d expect. I do many of

these daily as a general preventative

measure, which is what I recommend

you do as well.

The asterisk (*) demotes the ones that I

personally use on a daily basis.

Before I share these 40 ways to

reduce stress, it is important to really

understand the nature of stress and

the five sources of stress.

So first, I’ve inserted the first 20

pages from one of my other books,

The Single Cause and Single Cure for

Any Health Challenge, which broadly

and comprehensively addresses this

critical life enhancing, disease

reducing and live prolonging issue of

stress …

What if there was a single cause of all health problems, such as

Alzheimer’s, allergies, asthma, arthritis, autism, back pain, brain

tumors, cancer, depression, diabetes, fatigue, Fibromyalgia,

headaches, heart disease, infections, multiple sclerosis, melanoma,

muscular dystrophy, obesity, Parkinson’s disease, strokes, weight

gain, etc.?

Could it be that simple?

What if there was something you could do about your health challenge daily?

Would you want to know?

Research shows that the root and single cause of all health problems and disease,

including being overweight (65% of Americans!) can be summed up in these two

words:

Stress OverLoad! THE GOOD SIDE OF STRESS

STRESS itself is not harmful—it is actually essential for your health and longevity.

STRESS is actually good for you, AS LONG AS YOU RECOVER FROM IT.

STRESS is the result of any kind of change, whether perceived as a good or bad

change. Change creates a need to adjust. It often creates pressure, strain or

difficulty.

Think of STRESS as a challenge. Challenge is defined as a call to be engaged in a

contest, fight or competition. Think of a good tennis match, basketball game, a

debate or game of chess—all of these are challenges, and are a form of stress, all

of which can be good for you.

For example, without the STRESS from gravity, your bones would demineralize and

your muscles would become too weak to walk. Without the STRESS of the air

pressure, your eyeballs and entire body would explode—not a pretty picture!

Page 6: Forty Ways to Kill Stress Before it Kills You

6

Lifting weight is a form of deliberate STRESS that can be good for you. If you lift a

one pound weight to avoid the STRESS of a heavier weight, you will not gain

anything good from such a STRESS.

Depriving your body of oxygen is a STRESS (a challenge to your system), but if it is

for a short period of time, your body adapts and becomes more efficient and

stronger. But if it is too long, the game is over!

Think of STRESS like a fire. Is fire good or bad? It depends, right?

Because STRESS can cause us to grow and become stronger, it can be appreciated

as a valuable gift, just as fire can, IF it is properly controlled.

But there is another more well known side of STRESS …

THE DARK SIDE OF STRESS

When STRESS is unresolved and overwhelming, STRESS WILL KILL YOU!

STRESS can even kill you instantly if the intensity is high enough (as in

electrocution, head injury, in a car accident or drowning), or it can kill you over

time if the frequency is high enough without sufficient time for recovery, such as

Page 7: Forty Ways to Kill Stress Before it Kills You

7

from the toxic side effects of prescription drugs, toxic chemicals or a lack of critical

nutrients.

Here is the classic experiment that illustrates this distinction.

Mice and the Electric Grid Experiment

It is a fact that STRESS can accelerate the aging process. When mice are placed

on an electric grid with very mild shocks, they are unaffected as long as they were

given enough time to recover from the stress of the shocks. But if these mild

shocks are too frequent, the mice are not able to recover from this harmless

STRESS, and they die from old age within a few short days.

Even though each electric shock itself was harmless, the accumulative effect of

frequent STRESS without enough recovery time causes the body to just give up and

die.

The same is true for you, When you don’t have enough time to recover from a

particular STRESS before the next one comes, your reserves and “account balance”

Page 8: Forty Ways to Kill Stress Before it Kills You

8

in your “health checking account” is quickly depleted and you are on the slippery

slope toward a degenerative disease that takes out over 90% of all Americans.

So the real enemy is not just stress—it is Stress OverLoad!

THE H E A V Y SIDE OF Stress

To add insult to injury, STRESS can also make you look unattractive, including being

fat!

It’s bad enough that STRESS can be doing its damage on the inside by moving you

toward a disease and premature aging. But when on top of that you don’t look so

good on the outside, that can be destructive to your sense of esteem and value.

To make matters even worse, excess fat becomes another source of not only

emotional, but chemical STRESS!

Page 9: Forty Ways to Kill Stress Before it Kills You

For years, scientists have been aware of a relationship between disease risk and

excess belly fat. "Apple-shaped" people, who carry fat in the abdomen, have a

higher risk of heart disease, diabetes, and other problems than "pear-shaped"

people, who tend to store fat in the hips and thighs.

Back in 2004, Washington University investigators found that removing abdominal

fat with liposuction did not provide the metabolic benefits normally associated with

similar amounts of fat loss induced by dieting or exercising.

"Despite removing large amounts of subcutaneous fat from beneath the skin —

about 20 percent of a person's total body fat mass — there were no beneficial

medical effects," says Samuel Klein, M.D., the Danforth professor of medicine and

nutritional science and the senior investigator on both studies.

"These results demonstrated that decreasing fat mass by surgery, which removes

billions of fat cells, does not provide the metabolic benefits seen when fat mass is

reduced by lowering calorie intake, which shrinks the size of fat cells and

decreases the amount of fat inside the abdomen and other tissues."

Dr. Blaylock writes: “Many studies have shown that inside your abdomen [belly]

there are special fat cells, called visceral fat, that have some unusual properties.

This fat is located around your intestines and is not the fat under the skin.

These special fat cells can secrete a number of powerful inflammatory chemicals —

cytokines, C-reactive protein, chemokines and leptin — that can result in insulin

resistance (leading to Type-2 diabetes), hypertension (high blood pressure) and

atherosclerosis.”

In this new study, researchers looked at visceral fat — the invisible excessive fat

that surrounds the organs in the gut. The research team decided to analyze the

Page 10: Forty Ways to Kill Stress Before it Kills You

10

blood that ran through it to determine whether visceral fat was involved in

inflammation or whether, like subcutaneous fat (the fat you can see directly under

the skin, it was merely a marker of potential problems.

Reporting in the journal Diabetes, the research team says visceral fat likely

contributes to increases in systemic inflammation and insulin resistance. They

sampled blood from the portal vein in obese patients undergoing gastric bypass

surgery and found that visceral fat in the abdomen was secreting high levels of an

important inflammatory molecule called interleukin-6 (IL-6) into portal vein blood.

"Many years ago, atherosclerosis was thought to be related to lipids and to the

excessive deposit of cholesterol in the arteries," Fontana says.

"Nowadays, it's clear that atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease. There also is

evidence that inflammation plays a role in cancer, and there is even evidence that

it plays a role in aging.”

The bad news is that the invisible visceral fat is a major source of chemical stress

in addition to the psychological stress is causes.

The good news is that you are going to learn some simple and easy things that

you can do to eliminate this problem.

FIVE DIFFERENT SOURCES OF STRESS PHYSICAL STRESS

STRESS can be physical, as in lifting something heavy. Physical STRESS includes

passively sitting too much, falling down stairs, being in a car accident or getting

cut or burned, a vertebrae being misaligned, tense or tight muscles, or just plain

not moving enough (especially sitting too much!)

All exercise is physical STRESS, which does not make it bad, but getting too much

exercise is harmful, especially “cardio” or so called aerobic exercise that actually

depletes your reserves (short duration exercise is far superior—see Appendix).

Also NOT getting enough movement is form of physical stress, such as sitting for

more than an hour without a break.

Most people do not MOVE enough, which causes an internal physical stress that is

a set up for both weight gain and other degenerative diseases such as diabetes,

heart disease, cancer, etc. Over 14,000 people DIE per day because of a lack of

movement (5 million per year!). Don’t be one of them!

At least walk for 20 minutes a day, and ideally do some short duration (30-60

seconds) high intensity exercise, as well as use a rebounder or vibration machine.

Page 12: Forty Ways to Kill Stress Before it Kills You

12

CHEMICAL STRESS

STRESS can be chemically based. 100% of us are exposed daily to chemical STRESS from the environment, including air and water pollution. The chemical/pollutant

load in the average American home is five times the level of pollutants in the air

outdoors! Somewhat more avoidable are the chemical pollutants in the form of

pesticides and additives that are in food and tap water. Many researchers believe

that the STRESS and damage from chemicals is the primary cause of cancer and

many other diseases.

All drugs, both over the counter and those prescribed by doctors are toxic.

Even though they may provide a short term benefit by creating relief from

symptoms, they are a form of poison, and thus always create a chemical STRESS inside your body.

Page 13: Forty Ways to Kill Stress Before it Kills You

13

Plus FAR too often people have an ADR (Adverse Drug Reaction) which actually

KILLS 1000+ people a DAY and hospitalizes 5500 per DAY! The true numbers are

probably TRIPLE that, but these are the numbers the FDA admits to.

300,000 DEATHS per year from ADRs is what we call the Secret American

Disaster/Holocaust. Read the paper by that name at www.J.MP/americanholocaust.

This is the result of doctors GUESSING as to what medication to give a person,

which has been the only way to prescribe until now. Sometimes the med does

what they hope it should do, and sometimes it KILLS you or puts you into a

hospital, and leaves you with a permanent disability or new disease.

So if you believe you really have to use a medication, be SURE to get a

Pharmacogenetic test done FIRST so that the doctor isn’t playing Russian Roulette

with your life. This PGx test has been used for 8 years, as is routinely used by

Mayo Clinic, Duke University Medical Center, Hospital Corporation of America and

Vanderbilt University Medical Center, but less than 10% of doctors are using it.

Eventually ALL doctors will be using it just like they now use blood tests and x-

rays. But until then, make sure that you don’t take any chances—PROTECT your

life by insisting on getting your PGx test done, which is usually covered by

insurance. You only need to have this test done ONCE in your life time. Learn

more by watching this two minute video produced by Mayo Clinic at

www.J.MP/reducingcasualties. For more information, visit

www.LinkedIn.com/in/RayGebauer and www.AddingValueToday.com, or

I also invite you to view a short educational and hilarious video, “The Drugs I

Need” at www.J.MP/THEDRUGSINEED . Please watch it!

Did you know that over 65% of Americans have an internal source of self-

generated toxic chemicals inside their bodies?

No one likes how excess fat LOOKS on their bodies, but you what is even worse?

What is even worse about excess fat, which over 65% of Americans have, is that

fat itself generates chemicals that create STRESS that leads to a host of diseases,

including cancer, diabetes and heart disease.

Excess fat is NOT just a neutral storage of excess fat as most people think—excess

fat is an active “factory” that spews out STRESS chemicals 24 hours a day that

cause inflammation, which disrupts many critical functions of your body.

Page 14: Forty Ways to Kill Stress Before it Kills You

14

Excess fat is not only a cause of stress (both chemical and emotional), it is itself a

RESULT of STRESS. So by faithfully using the ten STRESS reduction techniques

explained below in combination with reducing all five sources of STRESS, you can

easily rid yourself of excess fat, which can spare you the long term costs of

diseases that are inevitable if STRESS is not minimized and resolved.

Of course, junk food and most processed foods, such as French fries, chips, sodas,

things cooked in vegetable oil, sugar, and most grains and flour based foods

(which break down too quickly into sugar, i.e. they are high glycemic) are also

extremely STRESSFUL to your organs and to your health and longevity.

Even good food can create chemical STRESS —if the same food is eaten too often,

especially every day, you most likely will become allergic to it, which creates an

internal chemical STRESS to your entire system.

So variety is very important to your health. Some researchers believe that ideally,

a specific food should only be eaten every third or fourth day.

Eating improper ratios of foods or nutrients also create a chemical STRESS, such as

too much sugar or simple carbohydrates as compared to protein and healthy fats.

Unhealthy fats such as trans-fat and any vegetable oil are extremely STRESSFUL to

your organs, and cause a great deal of very damaging oxidation (the exception is

coconut and olive oil which are not stressful and actually very beneficial—I take

Page 15: Forty Ways to Kill Stress Before it Kills You

15

three tablespoons of coconut oil a day to boost my metabolism and immune

system).

Refined sugar or even the natural sugar from fruit juices creates chemical STRESS and hormonal imbalances in your body. Too much sugar has been implicated in

ALL the major degenerative diseases such as heart disease, cancer and diabetes

and stroke because it is so STRESSFUL on your body.

In fact, sugar is often referred to as the food for cancer, and soda pop as cancer in

a can. Sugar is one of the main reasons that 38% of women and 47% of men get

cancer. Consuming excess sugar is the main reason that over 90% of people die

prematurely of a preventable disease.

Over eating, eating late at night (after 6 or 7 pm), and just going to bed late

creates chemical STRESS, as does eating too often (best is 1-2 meals per day rather

than frequent meals that does not give the body time to recover, throwing off

balance the production of hormones).

Teflon or aluminum cookware is also very dangerous because toxic chemicals will

leach into the food being cooked, especially if there are ANY scratches in the

Teflon coating. Throw out any aluminum and Teflon coated pans and use stainless

steel, porcelain or glass instead because your health is too precious to lose over

something this simple.

Pesticides on food and pollutants in the air and water create chemical STRESS that

leads to disease.

Using microwave ovens alter the foods warmed or cooked by microwaves, which

again causes chemical STRESS to your body. If possible, never use a microwave

oven because it can cause very serious long term health problems. I dare you to

Google “danger of cooking with microwaves” and find out yourself.

Page 16: Forty Ways to Kill Stress Before it Kills You

16

ELECTROMAGNETIC STRESS

STRESS can be electromagnetic, such as the electromagnetic STRESS that bombards

us 24/7 from cell phones, TV, microwaves, computer monitors, electrical wiring,

fluorescent lighting, etc. This is an invisible danger that is creating chaos within

your cells. Wireless technology with all its conveniences, has brought with it a

totally new form of dangerous and stressful radiation called electro-pollution.

The level of this radiation to which we are exposed is more than 100 million times

the radiation than just twenty years ago. Because your 100 trillion cells of your

body communicate with each other by subtle low-intensity electromagnetic

signals, in addition to chemical communication, continuous exposure to

electromagnetic radiation can drastically distort and disrupt these cellular

Page 17: Forty Ways to Kill Stress Before it Kills You

17

communications pathways, resulting in abnormal cellular metabolism and

eventually disease.

This makes it more difficult for nutrients to get in and toxins to get out. This leads

to a buildup of toxins, free radicals, genetic mutation, premature aging and

disease regardless as to whether or not we personally use any of this technology

because we are living in it like a fish in polluted water.

DEFICIENCY-BASED STRESS

STRESS can be deficiency based. If you do not have enough oxygen, water, or even

infrared light, that creates STRESS, and eventually disease and death! If you do not

have enough food or water or sunlight, that creates a dangerous level of STRESS which WILL weaken you and lead to disease.

For example, 99% of people in America do not get enough sunlight. This lack of

sunlight creates a vitamin D deficiency, which is very STRESSFUL on the entire body

even though you do not feel this kind of STRESS. Because almost no one gets

enough sunlight, I believe most people need 5000-10,000 I.U. of vitamin D a day

(be sure to only use Vitamin D3). I take 10,000 I.U. myself daily.

Another virtually universal deficiency-based STRESS is nutritional. Even though most

people get far too many calories (energy) from food, 100% of people are NOT

getting enough nutrients. This creates a deficiency-based STRESS which handicaps

your cells and organs, including your brain, heart, lungs, liver, etc., from doing

their job. And that is a set up for disease.

The key principle to remember is that the most critical nutrient is the one that

is most missing. Whatever is most missing will cause the greatest STRESS and

thus the greatest problems.

While there are MANY common nutritional deficiencies, some of the most common

and serious nutritional deficiencies are food based trace minerals, essential fatty

acids (particularly the “Parent Essential Oils” rather than fish oil), inadequate

oxygen, vitamin D3, vitamin C, iodine, magnesium, niacin.

Page 18: Forty Ways to Kill Stress Before it Kills You

18

A deficiency of any nutrient causes a tremendous STRESS in the body, which can

lead to virtually any disease.

Since it is impossible to get enough nutrients from food, in order to protect or

recover our health, we MUST use quality supplements, which will result in

healthier cells, which results in healthier organs, which enables the body to do

what it was designed to do—heal itself.

Assuming you are getting all you need from food is a deadly and false assumption.

So while we need to eat as well as we can, we must use high quality food

supplements as well. I personally take over fifty food supplements because I value

my health and longevity. That may seem extreme to you but it’s more fun than

chemotherapy and cheaper than a stay in the hospital or the cost of a funeral.

Page 19: Forty Ways to Kill Stress Before it Kills You

19

PSYCHOLOGICAL STRESS

Psychological STRESS is the kind of STRESS most people think of when they think of

STRESS, even though it is just one of five different kinds of stress. Ultimately, the

source and root for all psychological or emotional STRESS is fear.

Usually people are not aware of the extent they are driven or controlled by fear.

We often use softer language, such as speaking of having a concern, worry,

anxiety, or just feeling stressed.

But the truth is that all these words are code words for being afraid. It is

somewhat of a cover-up, both to ourselves and to others. After all, who wants to

admit to being afraid and allowing fear to drive things?

What is fear?

Page 20: Forty Ways to Kill Stress Before it Kills You

20

Fear is the emotion you generate when you anticipate some kind of pain. All

worry, anxiety, and STRESS that you feel are softer words to describe fear.

So in short, fear is the anticipation of PAIN, whereas in contrast, faith/belief is the

mindset of anticipation of GAIN (happiness is the emotion we create when we

anticipate gain).

Psychological STRESS is NOT based on what actually happens to you. It is based on

perception, i.e. on your interpretation of what happened or could happen in the

future.

Once you accept this fact, you are no longer doomed to feel like a helpless victim

to STRESS, because you realize that stress (and fear) is self-induced.

Because we create our own emotional STRESS by how we respond to our

circumstances, we also have the power to alter our perception so as to NOT create

STRESS and to recover quickly from it.

However, most of our psychological STRESS is not even conscious. That is why I like

the book, Beyond Willpower by Dr. Alex Loyd so much. This is by far the very

best book I’ve ever read on how to not just merely “deal with” emotional STRESS, but how to DEPROGRAM your UNCONSIOUS STRESS on a cellular level so as to

create a default mindset of love, joy and peace. I HIGHLY recommend it to you!

Page 21: Forty Ways to Kill Stress Before it Kills You

WHAT TO DO TO REDUCE STRESS & BUILD HEALTH

The comprehensive answer of what to do is in my book, How to Cure and

Prevent Any Disease. You will learn how to avoid and recover from all five

sources of stress using five different strategies (that correlate to the five elements

of Fire, Earth, Metal, Water and Wood in the Chinese medical model). These are

the five essential dynamics of vibrant health and longevity as described in my

book:

1. Living your life with a clear Purpose and Passion

2. Social connectivity; feeling valued and appreciated

3. Minimizing Toxicity and stress

4. Movement (regular and consistent)

5. Food and Nutrition

The shorter and broader answer in one word as to what to do, is LIFESTYLE, i.e.

live a healthy lifestyle that minimizes all five sources of STRESS. Putting it in a more

positive way, live a lifestyle that is alignment with a higher purpose, that includes

love/giving, moving, and optimal nutrition.

If you would like to read the rest of my book, The Single Cause and Cure for

any Health Challenge, request it and I’ll send it to you!

Now here are the 40 Ways to Kill STRESS Before it Kills You:

1. *Emotional STRESS Release (ESR) Emotional Stress Release (ESR) is an

amazing process that releases stress, emotional blocks, trauma and pain.

This is a very powerful process, yet so simple that it’s easily underestimated.

Use it on yourself and on others every

day for ANYTHING, as a stand-alone process or in combination with a

complete Energy Health Care balancing with a laser. It is like an

energy laxative for “mental constipation.” Use ESR to clear up

mental or emotional “stuckness,” anxiety, fear, nightmares, eliminate

headaches (90% of the time within 30 seconds), reduce the trauma and pain

from any physical injury (minor or

Page 22: Forty Ways to Kill Stress Before it Kills You

22

major), any kind of mental or emotional stress, helping recall (like

where you left your keys), difficulty in swallowing, burns, noise or disturbing

music, stiffness, exposure to toxic

chemicals, etc.

With any problem, ESR is the first thing I do, and I suggest you do it too.

How ESR Works When we are under stress, the brain

shifts to a survival mode referred to as the “fight or flight” mode. In this

survival mode, the body pulls blood from the frontal lobes of the brain to

the back (the “limbic” brain) to accommodate being able to act

quickly and reactively. Touching the Frontal Eminences with your fingertips

shifts the blood from the back part of the brain to the front part of the brain

(like a “manual reset” switch). The result of this shift is that you are

moved out of “survival” (fight or flight) mode so that you can think

more clearly, rationally and creatively.

Also, doing this process as soon as possible can release most of the

biochemistry of trauma and stress related to an incident.

The sooner after an “incident” you do ESR,

the faster it works, but it can also help on injuries decades old.

Before you start doing ESR for

someone else, you may want to say something like: “First I’ll ask you to

rate the intensity of the concern; then I’ll put my fingertips on your forehead

and ask you to focus on the negative

aspects of it and create the worst case scenario. Next I’ll ask you to focus on

the most positive outcome you can imagine, and then I’ll ask you to put

your hand on your heart and focus on feeling appreciated.

I’ll be asking you to focus on each of

these things until I notice a change,

so each part could last anywhere from ten seconds to two minutes. Lastly,

I’ll ask you to re-rate the concern to see if it changed significantly for you

yet. That’s about all there is to it. Okay?”

The ESR Process in Three

Stages

(1. Cleaning up the Negative Ask the person to focus on an area of

stress or pain (physical or emotional). It could be in the past, present, or

future (anxiety or worry about the future). If they have pain or an injury,

have them place a hand over that area or get into the posture in which

the incident occurred. On the “stress scale” ask them to rate it from 0 to 10

- where 10 is the most stressful it

could get and 0 means there is absolutely no stress or discomfort.

Gently touch and “hold” on the slight bulges (frontal eminences) on both

sides of the forehead, half way between the eyebrows and the

hairline. Use the “flats” of several fingertips on each side. Use the same

light pressure you would use if you were touching your eyelids. While

holding these points, ask them to experience the issue or stress from a

negative perspective (worst-case scenario). It is best if they verbalize

this out loud, unless it is too private.

Ask questions to help them fully explore the issue fully.

Page 23: Forty Ways to Kill Stress Before it Kills You

23

Continue holding for 20-30 seconds or until you feel a noticeable change,

whichever comes first. Usually you will start to feel a pulse; in a few seconds,

they will synchronize. Initially you

may not even feel the pulses at all, but it will work anyway. Many of us

press too hard at first; most people need a little practice to develop the

sensitivity to feel pulses.

(2. Creating a Positive

Interpretation While still holding the points, have the

person switch to thinking about the issue from a positive perspective -

seeing something good coming from it, or maybe something they could

appreciate about having overcome

this challenge. You can even create a very positive interpretation that is

totally imaginary, so that the mind has an alternative memory.

(3. Generating Appreciation While still holding the points, ask the

person to put their hands on their heart, breathe deeply AND SLOWLY,

and focus on a time when they felt really appreciated.

Continue for a while longer, until you

feel it is complete (using your intuition or watching for a noticeable change

such as an involuntary deep breath or sigh).Remove your hands, and ask

them to take a deep breath and re-rate the stressor on the 0-10 scale.

Ask if they feel that the process is complete , or if they are at least

significantly improved. If they (or you) feel the process is incomplete

you can either do some more ESR, or go ahead and do the full EHC

balancing with the laser. You can even

test (asking a question) to see how

much longer they need you to do the ESR.

Using ESR on Yourself You can use ESR on yourself too! You will have several opportunities each

day to use it (during/after any stress: physical injury, work, driving,

etc.).Each of the steps below will usually take about 10 seconds to a

minute.

The position: Gently rest your fingers on your forehead. Or, to do it one-

handed: place your thumb or palm on one side of the forehead and your

fingers on the other side. Breathe deeply, inhaling through the nose and

exhaling through the mouth.1. Fully

experience the negative feelings. Do not resist the negative—in fact it’s

better to fully explore and even exaggerate them. Get it all out.

2. Shift to creating an alternative

interpretation that is positive, exciting or funny. Just make something up.

3. Finish by feeling appreciation for

yourself in your heart (or going back to a time when you felt really

appreciated by someone). I do ESR every evening as I lie in bed as a

sort of clearing of the day, even if

nothing particularly stressful happened.

Postural Balance Correction

1. Stand with your eyes closed 2. Relax and notice which direction

you start to fall—forwards or backwards.

Page 24: Forty Ways to Kill Stress Before it Kills You

24

3. Do ESR on yourself, thinking of how your muscles are relaxing

and working together properly. 4. Repeat the relaxed standing test.

Now there should be no

movement in either direction. If there is, do more ESR until you

are stable in a relaxed standing position.

ESR Enhancements For an Even Deeper Effect

[I seldom use this ESR enhancement,

but if needed, it can be VERY powerful

and releasing]

While doing ESR, ask the person some or all of the following questions. These

questions are designed to assist the person fully explore every aspect of

the issue so that it can be fully and permanently dissolved.

1. What are your thoughts with

respect to _____ (the issue)? Are there any others? (repeat until they

say “no”).

2. Describe your feelings with respect

to _____ (the issue). Are there any others? (repeat until they say “no”).

3. What are your attitudes with

respect to _____ (the issue)? Are there any others? (repeat until they

say “no”).

4. What are your points of view with respect to _____ (the issue)? Are

there any others? (repeat until they say “no”).

5. What are any decisions or

conclusions you made as a child with

respect to_____ (the issue)? Are

there any others? (repeat until they say “no”).

6. Fully describe any sensations you

have anywhere in your body with

respect to_____ (the issue). Are there any others? (repeat until they say

“no”).

7. If those sensations had a shape, what would they look like?

8. Turn this issue into a physical

thing, and describe the color, texture and smell and any other

characteristics. 9. What would you like to do with this

thing? Are you willing to do that?

10. In your imagination, do it now.

How does that make you feel?

ESR with Eye Rotation While holding the ESR points with one

hand (or they can hold their own points), have them follow your other

hand with their eyes as you move it in one wide clockwise circle (lasting about

10 seconds), and then in a counter-clockwise direction.

Each eye position seems to access and

balance different aspects of the memory.

Conclusion: ESR is one of the most

important techniques covered. You do not need to make it complicated. Just

use it daily, even if you just use certain components of it.

2. *Energy “Reset” Points

Here’s a second way to defuse stress.

The energy reset points are known as

Page 25: Forty Ways to Kill Stress Before it Kills You

25

the K-27 reflex points. They are similar to a master circuit breaker

that gets switched off when your body is under more stress than it can

safely handle. It is like a safety or

protection mechanism. Also, when you are feeling overwhelmed with

stress, one of the hemispheres of your brain will become overly dominant,

which will disable the opposite side to an extent. This decreases

“brain integration” which can manifest with dyslexic patterns

such as reversing numbers or letters, fatigue, a lack of coordination

and many other symptoms. Even though your system will

eventually “reset” by itself, you can immediately switch “the

power” back on manually by simply

rubbing these points for five to ten seconds. This involves simply

vigorously rubbing the last acupuncture points (the “K-27’s”) on

the Kidney acupuncture meridian.

Even more effective is to shine a pointer laser for a couple seconds on

these points instead of rubbing them. They are located on your chest in the

sternal notch, which is directly beneath the collar bone and next to

your sternum. These points are about one inch from the midline

of your chest, directly below your

eyes.

For best results, hold one hand over your navel as you rub your

K-27 points.

You can do both at the same time or one at a time which is what I prefer. I take a

few seconds to stimulate these points every morning just to

enhance my brain integration and

whenever I feel overwhelmed with stress, either from a crisis or just

an accumulation of stuff. This is something that you can do before you

even get out of bed! Try it.

3. *Enhanced Brain Integration Cross crawling is another easy and

fun way to reduce stress and enhance the integration of the right and left

hemispheres of the brain. Simply march in place, swinging your hands

freely while you think of someone you appreciate. Make sure that the arm

that moves up is opposite of the leg that you are lifting. You can also cross

over with your arms and touch the

opposite knee with your hand. You can enhance this by humming at the same

time.

Do this for 10-20 seconds at least once a day, especially in the morning,

and anytime you feel anxiety, pressure or stress. For a full extensive

brain integration (requires a partner and about 10 minutes) that addresses

dyslexia and learning disabilities, acquire my free Healing in Your

Pocket Manual.

4. *Enhanced Mental Acuity

The lymph system is the drainage

system of the body. There are many Neuro-lymphatic reflex points that

regulate the energy to various parts of the lymphatic system. There is one

set that is especially useful for regaining clear thinking, reducing overwhelm and

defusing “brain fog.” Massage for ten to

Page 26: Forty Ways to Kill Stress Before it Kills You

26

thirty seconds the area between the bone at the front of the shoulder joint

down along the outside of the breast on the side of the chest (about four

inches).

Massage the posterior Neuro-

lymphatic points located just under the backside of your skull

where it joins the top of the neck, about 2-3 inches from the center line.

Improvement is usually instant

and often dramatic. Many other Neuro-lymphatic reflex points that

relate to other organ functions are located between the ribs

where they attach to the sternum in the middle of your chest in front or

where they join the spine on your

back. These too can be rubbed. See the Touch For Health Manual for more

information. Jumping on the rebounder (mini-trampoline) or

ball in combination with this technique gives you an even more

powerful effect (during, before or after you do the points).

5. Reframing for Humor When you feel stressed about a

situation, one way to eliminate or reduce that stress instantly is to instill

humor into it. One way of doing this is to look at your situation from a

perspective that is funny. Imagine what an uninvolved outsider could see

about your situation that was funny, and take on that perspective. How

could someone make a joke about

what to you seems so serious and important?

A second way of defusing stress by

reframing for humor is to create in

your mind a video tape of what just happened. Now a l ter it in some

creative way and watch it again as if you were watching it as an

outsider in a movie theater. You could

view it backwards, or upside down, or in altered colors such as bright neon

pink and green. Or make everyone tiny, like ants, or whatever your

imagination can create. You can even alter it by eliminating or adding

certain characters, such as aliens, strange creatures, or whatever.

Basically create additional modified versions of the event, which dilutes

the impact of the original interpretation. Realize also, that the

“original version” that we normally call “reality” is not accurate to begin

with, since it is your Interpretation of

what happened, and not what actually happened. No one has a totally

accurate perception of any event.

6. *Reframing for Value

The sixth and perhaps the most mature way to handle stress is to

choose to look at your stressful situation or problem as an opportunity

to gain an invaluable lesson and as an

opening for a breakthrough. After all, breakthroughs usually come out of

breakdowns! The most important lessons of life are gained in the middle

of a stressful situation. Ask yourself questions that demonstrate maturity,

such as,

“What can I learn from this that can improve or change my life?”

“What advantage or good thing

can come out of this if I am willing to see this from a different

perspective?”

Page 27: Forty Ways to Kill Stress Before it Kills You

27

How about these questions to ask

yourself:

“How would my spouse (or best

friend) see this situation?”

“What is God’s perspective on this?” or

“What if God really does love me, and

is somehow using this terrible problem for my future good in a way

that I can’t currently see?” One of the most critical values for life

is living out of a clear and compelling purpose. NOT having a clear and

compelling purpose is itself a MAJOR source of stress.

One of the best books on this is the best selling book (over 30

million sold), The Purpose Driven Life, by Rick Warner. I highly

recommend this book. It is arranged to be read over 40 days,

one short 5-8 page chapter a day. I read through it in this manner

three times in 2003, and now I am going through it again in 2004. Of

course, it will not help YOU, if you don’t read it. But what if you did read

it and in 40 days you had a new life—a purpose driven life? So one of the

most effective ways to eliminate

stress is to first KNOW what your purpose in life is, and to REMIND

yourself of that purpose in the midst of a stressful situation.

Imagine how the current stressful situation can possibly move you

toward fulfilling your life purpose. Even if it is not obvious, or

APPEARS to be impossible, there is a 100% chance that the current

stress CAN move you toward fulfilling

your life purpose, and in the end, good can come from it. Here is a

saying that I have found to be useful: In the end, if everything is not OK, it’s

not the end!

THE GENERAL THREEFOLD PURPOSE

OF LIFE

One of my mentors taught me that there are three aspects to the purpose

of life:

1. Create and add value—i.e. to make a

meaningful difference

2. Learn and grow—so that you can be all

you can be

3. Enjoy and appreciate life—see

everything as a Gift from God

This has been very helpful to me, and I believe it can be for you if you

embrace this.

Here is how I have stated my purpose

(mission) in life:

My purpose is to empower people to live life fully, free of fear and full of faith.

My short version is this: I live to make

God happy!

So, what is yours? If you don’t know yet, than create it, so you too can

have the advantage of living your life out of purpose. Do it right now

(at least today)—create a “rough draft” so you at least have

something from which to live. You can always modify it, improve it

or even just start over in how you

write out your life purpose. I suggest that you make it specific enough

Page 28: Forty Ways to Kill Stress Before it Kills You

28

so that it is clearly yours and ideally, is measurable.

E.g. a life purpose of loving or helping

others is probably too broad to really

provide you with a passion for living. If you need help in creating your life

purpose, one of the best resources is Cynthia Kersey’s book, Unstoppable.

You may want to visit her site at www.unstoppable.net.If you choose to

live on purpose, your life will not seem like a series of accidents! Living

on purpose (purpose driven) will dramatically reduce your

experience of stress, while at the same time, position you to live and

enjoy life fully.

7. *Freeze-Frame

These next two are Heart Math techniques based on the amazing

HeartMath technology. This is very powerful in defusing stress, especially

in a crisis. There are five simple steps:

1. Recognize your feelings of stress

and “freeze-frame” them as you

would put your VCR on pause to freeze a particular frame.

2 . Focus your attent ion on the

area o f your phys ica l heart, and breathe deeply, pretending

that you are breathing through your heart. Do not move your chest as you

breathe. Instead, move your diaphragm muscle (it feels like

you are moving your stomach) down as you inhale and relax. Breathe this way

for ten seconds.

3. Recall a positive or happy time in

your life and mentally put yourself

back into that situation (re-experience it). Or better yet, think of someone

you really appreciate, and feel that appreciation from your heart. Do this

for at least ten seconds.

4. With your focus still on your heart,

ask your heart (or ask God through your heart) what an alternative

perspective you could have on this situation, and what response could you

have that was more efficient or appropriate.

5. Listen to what you hear and act

accordingly.

8. Heart Lock-In

Focus your attention on the area of your physical heart, and breathe

deeply, pretending that you are breathing through your heart. Think of

someone (i.e. your spouse, God, your best friend, etc.) you really

appreciate, and feel that appreciation

deeply from your heart. Get the maximum benefit by doing this “Heart

Lock-in” procedure for 15 minutes as you listen to Heart Zones music

developed by HeartMath. If you do this for 15 minutes, the benefits will

last for four hours. For more information on HeartMath, go to

www.heartmath.com.

9. *Hugs—Giving and Receiving

Giving and receiving hugs is an

excellent way to reduce stress, either during or better yet, as a preventative

measure. The experts say we need twelve hugs a day to stay healthy.

Create a goal to give and get a certain

Page 29: Forty Ways to Kill Stress Before it Kills You

29

number of hugs per day and keep track to see how you are doing with

your goal. Doing this not only reduces stress, it adds value and a sense of

worth to both yourself and to the other

person. A powerful illustration of the power of human touch occurred the

first week of life in a set of twins.

10. Psychological Reversals

A psychological reversal (PR) is an unconscious state of mind that is the

opposite of what the person believes they want. A psychological reversal is self

sabotage.

Most people who have had either prolonged stress or an extremely

stressful event, such as a divorce or

traumatic experience will have a hidden psychological reversal. For

example, someone says (and consciously believes) they want to

lose weight. But when tested after saying they want to lose weight, the

muscle unlocks! This means that on a deeper level the statement is NOT

true -- a part of them (unconsciously) does not want to lose weight.

Frequently with a serious disease

history, a divorce, a bad accident, or the death of a family member there is

a psychological reversal. People can become resigned to the stress and to

feeling overwhelmed.

According to Dr. Sheldon Deal, even

consumption of Trans-Fat (partially hydrogenated oil) can cause

psychological reversal. On a conscious level, a person may be doing

everything they know to lose weight, or even be healthy in general.

But if there is a hidden psychological

reversal, they will never get the results they

say they want from a balancing (or from any kind of treatment, therapy, dietary

supplements, exercise or eating plan). If they do change, the results will only

be temporary at best. A reversal can be very specific, it can be broad and

general, and it can range from minor to major. You do not need to be able

to test to see if you have a psychological reversal—if you suspect

that you MIGHT have one, just make the correction. An example of a minor

PR would be when the muscle unlocks on “I want keep my problem of always

procrastinating” and locks on “I want to

give up my problem of procrastination.”

Two examples of very MAJOR general psychological reversals are:

The muscle unlocks on “I want to be

healthy” and locks on “I don’t want to be healthy”

or “I want to be sick.”

Unlocks on “I want to live”

and locks on “I don’t want to live”

or “I want to die.”

This reversal could happen with any habit or activity. Suspect a PR if you

feel really stuck, an energy balancing does not work or last, or if something

is difficult to change (poor eating

habits, smoking, exercise, etc.). You do not need to know for sure if you

have a psychological reversal before you do the correction. Many

Psychologists who use this technique

Page 30: Forty Ways to Kill Stress Before it Kills You

30

just routinely do the corrections for a their list of common PR’s without

taking the time to test to see if the patient even has them, just in order

to save time. You can do the same

thing.

Fortunately, the correction is easy to do:

Psychological Reversal Correction 1. Stimulate with tapping with the fingertips

of your other hand the midpoint of the bone, between the first knuckle of the

little finger and the wrist bone. This is actually the acupuncture point, Small

Intestines #4. If you did a karate chop, you’d hit the target with this

point (the alternative to tapping on this point is to shine a red pointer

laser on it; most psychologists who

use this technique use tapping; I prefer the laser; both work).

2. While tapping, or with the laser on

this point, have the person say out loud 3 times:

“ I am valuable and worthwhile, even

though I want to keep ____ (the problem)” or “…even though I DON’T want to give

up _____ (the problem).”

3. Retest the statement. The test should be as you would

expect it to be, i.e. they test “yes”

(locked) to wanting to give up the problem and “no” (unlocked) to

wanting to keep the problem. The psychological reversal will be

“reversed” back to normal. If it returns later, just repeat the

correction.4. Now that the PR is removed, do a regular EHC balancing

(see the free Healing in your Pocket Manual for this advanced technique)

for the whatever goal you were balancing for, e.g. losing weight, lack of

confidence, fear of rejections, fear of

heights, etc.

Have the person finish (as usual) with cross crawl as they hum. Remember,

correcting a psychological reversal can actually be done without doing the

muscle testing.

Other PR’s

(You can test for each PR specifically or just do ALL of these which I

recommend) (Adapted from Instant Emotional Healing: Acupressure for

the Emotions by George Pratt and Peter Lambrou)

Global PR: “I am valuable and worthwhile (V & W),

even with all my faults, defects, problems and limitations.”

Keeping PR:

“I am V & W, even though I want to keep (or need) this problem.”

Future PR:

“I am V & W, even if I will continue to have this problem.”

Deserving PR:

“I am V & W, even though I don’t deserve

to get over this problem.”

Fear PR: “I am V & W, even if I am afraid to get

over this problem.”

Safety of Self PR: “I am V & W, even if it is not safe for me

to get over this problem.”

Page 31: Forty Ways to Kill Stress Before it Kills You

31

Safety of Others PR:

“I am V & W, even if it is not safe for ____ for me to get over this problem.”

Not Possible PR: “I am V & W, even if it is not possible for

me to get over this problem.”

Allowing PR: “I am V & W, even if I will not allow myself

to get over this problem.”

Necessary PR: “I am V & W, even if I will not do what is

necessary to get over this problem.”

Lack of Benefit to Self PR: “I am V & W, even if getting over this

problem will not be good for me.”

Lack of Benefit to Others PR:

“I am V & W, even if getting over this problem will not be good for _____.”

Unique PR:

“I am V & W, even if I have a unique block to getting over this problem.”

Sometimes a person “needs” to keep

their disease or condition because they are getting a big payoff from it

such as attention, safety, control, sympathy, etc. You can test and

balance for this as well. Balance for “I

no longer NEED….”

Thirty More Short and Simple Anti-stress Techniques

Remember, for best results, before you use a technique, be CLEAR as

to exactly what results you want,

e.g. “I am calm, relaxed and peaceful, and I am thinking clearly.” Then rate

your current stress from zero to ten, with ten being the highest level of

stress, and zero being zero stress.

Expect it to decrease at least 50% to 100%. When you are done,

reassess your stress. If you are satisfied with your improvement,

be thankful. If you are not satisfied, do additional techniques until you get

your stress level to a zero or to whatever is acceptable to you.

Many of the techniques you can do in combination with each other

at the same time. And remember to be thankful for your improvement.)

11. *Take several diaphragmatic

breathing through your nose,

SLOWLY—taking ten seconds or longer on the exhale, ideally while you

hum. Do not let your chest expand—let your stomach move out. As you

breathe, focus only on your breath, visualizing the air as brilliant light

coming into your lungs. As you exhale, visualize (imagine) that the

air is now dark as it carries out your stress and emotional toxins. For more

information on the power and benefits of deep focused breathing, see my

book, How to Cure and Prevent Any Disease and the brilliant web site,

www.NormalBreathing.com

12. *Hold your breath for one minute,

or as long as you can, focusing on who you most appreciate, or a time in

which you felt appreciated and loved. When you can hold your breath

absolutely no longer, your first breath will be really deep, and you will feel

re-energized, destressed and refreshed.

Page 32: Forty Ways to Kill Stress Before it Kills You

32

13. *Add or create value. Do something thoughtful and nice for

someone. Think of a way to help someone else in a tangible meaningful

way, imagining how they would

appreciate it. Write someone a short note expressing you much you

appreciate them, and why. If there is no one present at the moment (e.g.

you are by yourself driving), ask God to bless someone who is special to

you.

14. *Rub your back (bare skin) with a dry towel first thing in the morning to

create static electricity. Do this for at least one minute vigorously as fast as

you can. The slight static charge you build up helps dissipate stress and

inhibits the replication of viruses in

your body. Optional: hold your breath for as long as you can while doing this

or better yet, hum.

15. Take some extra endocrine (hormonal) support, such as an

adrenal glandular supplement. Better yet, take a natural standardized plant

sterol dioscorea-based supplement. Consider this your “edible health

insurance.”

16. *Laugh! Think of a funny or an embarrassing experience. Tell a joke.

Watch a comedy. Smile and

remember to enjoy life and be grateful.

17. *Get in the light—sunlight is best;

if this is not available, use a light box

18. *Get warm using a heating blanket, down comforter, sauna, sun

bath or Biomat. Drink some hot tea.

19. Get in water—a warm bath, hot tub, shower, swimming pool or ocean

20. *Get refocused on the positive

possibilities of the future by reviewing

your purpose in life and your top three goals for the year. Have these

written and memorized. Go public with them by telling others what your

purpose and goals are. Catch yourself thinking about the future in terms of

negative possibilities (what could go wrong—AKA as worrying), and

immediately switch from this fear based mindset to a faith based

mindset that is positive and purpose oriented. I recommend that you

facilitate that internal switch from a negative viewpoint (your lower, fear

based FALSE self) to your TRUE self

by an external action such as snapping your fingers. So if you are

feeling depressed, or negative, you can just “snap” out of it, literally by

snapping your fingers, if this is your intention.

21. Have someone (just ask!) give

you a 60 second scalp massage (then give them one!). This will help de-

stress your entire body. You can also brush your hair, preferably with a $3

or $4 old fashioned brush with scratchy bristles. Really get to the

scalp (works better if you bend over

from the waist).

22. *Shine a red pointer laser into your blood stream for sixty seconds.

Find your “jugular vein” in your neck so you can feel the blood pulsing

under your finger tip when you apply some pressure. Then apply the laser

to that point, pressing in slightly to radiate your blood as it passes by.

This has a wonderful energizing effect

Page 33: Forty Ways to Kill Stress Before it Kills You

33

on your blood, and among other health benefits, relieves stress. You

cannot do this too often or too long. I do it myself twice a day.

Even more beneficial is to shine the laser into each nasal cavity because it

can more effectively reach the brain. Learn more at www.mediclights.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Newsletter-07-13.pdf & www.trulyheal.com/the-healing-power-of-light

23. *Do the first of the Fountain of

Youth Movements (spinning

clockwise), or better yet, do all five (for a full description, see How to

Cure and Prevent Any Disease).

24. *Use music to defuse stress. Listen to your favorite music, and

ideally, sing along or hum with it. Enhance your musical experience

even more by expressing yourself with your entire body by dancing to

the music. Perhaps better than listening to someone else’s music,

make up your own melody either with your voice or on an instrument; you

don’t need to make up words—you can just make whatever sound you

like, E.g. la, la, la, or whatever. Allow yourself to express yourself freely

with the music, going with the flow.

25. *Hum—to either existing music,

or to your own melody that you create.

26. *Stretch your whole body, on the

floor or bed, for at least a minute or more. You can at any time during the

day, stretch any part of your body, like your arms, in any or better yet,

several positions. You can also stretch at the waist by rotating your body

back and forth while breathing deeply.

A specific form of stretching that I really like is called Hypertonics*. My

favorite one, that I do first thing in the morning and the last thing at

night, and anytime I feel tension or

pain in my low back, is to stretch my hamstrings (and indirectly stretch my

lower back muscles) in three different ways.

1) Pull each leg toward your chest,

one at a time, pulling from above your knee with your forearm on your thigh,

using your other hand to also pull on your wrist.

2) Repeat, except this time pull your

leg toward your chest with your hands just below the knee on the front of

your leg.

3) Repeat this again holding your

foot, ideally the ball of your foot. Hold each position for 5-10 seconds while

at the same time you attempt to push your leg away from your body, while

exhaling (do not hold your breath).

At the end of the exhalation, totally relax your leg muscles, but continue

pulling toward your body for another 3 seconds, stretching your leg even

further, now that it is more relaxed. Then repeat the process 2-3 more

times. You can do the same thing

(Hypertonics) with any muscle that feels tight. E.g. you can instantly

relax tight painful neck and shoulder muscles by holding your head down

on the left side with the left hand while using your neck muscles to

apply pressure to pull it back up (don’t let it actually move). At the end

of the exhalation, totally relax your neck muscles, but continue pulling

toward your body for another 3

Page 34: Forty Ways to Kill Stress Before it Kills You

34

seconds. Then repeat the process 2-3 more times.

The Spine-Flex is another stretching

movement that destresses the spine

by twisting both ends in opposite directions. This is one of my favorites.

After doing this simple and easy movement, you will probably feel an

inch taller and a lot less stressed. Do this one by lying on your back with

your knees bent as far as you can with your feet on the floor. There are

three movements involved in this one:1. Lower your legs to one side, all

the way to the floor if you can, with the knees still bent, and legs tight

together, not letting your knees or legs slide. This means that the foot on

the opposite side of the direction you

are going will be lifted off the floor.

2. At the same time, keeping your head on the floor, turn your head to

the opposite direction as far as you can, rotating your head up away from

the rest of your body like you are trying to look up over your head

(keeping your head on the floor).

3. At the same time, rotate your hand so that the palm is up on the

side to which you turn your head. If you can, keep rotating your hand so

that your thumb is pointing down

toward the floor and your pinkie up in the air; at the same time, rotate the

other hand so that the palm is facing down with your thumb pointing

toward your feet and pressing into the floor. Note that you are always

turning your head and looking toward the open palm and turning away from

the palm facing down.

Now reverse everything—turn your head to the other side, while your

knees move up and to the opposite side, as you reverse which hand is

rotating palm up. Go back and forth,

for about one minute or as long as you can. I do this first thing in the

morning and last thing at night just before I get into bed to keep my spine

flexible and limber, which improves the nerve transmission through the

spinal vertebrae, which helps all my organs work more efficiently. I

recommend immediately following this with the sacral rock as described in

the next item.

27. *Rock in a rocking chair or swing on a swing (while you sing, or at least

hum).You can also rock back and

forth on your back (sacral rock), with knees bent. This stimulates the flow

of the cerebral-spinal fluid. The movement is from your mid to your

low back. It is also good to rock side to side for 10-30 seconds.

28. *Bounce on a rebounder (mini-

trampoline) or a large ball, or even on the floor for 10 seconds up to 10

minutes. Doing it for just 10-30 seconds will make a noticeable

difference because it is helping your circulation of both your blood and

your lymph! Plus it generates a

positive healthy stress and stimulation for all your organs and every cell.

If you don’t have a large inflated ball,

invest in one, and more importantly, use it every day (I use mine for 30-60

seconds minute several times a day. I try to do it once per hour—I consider

this to be the most important exercise I do. In addition to using your large

Page 35: Forty Ways to Kill Stress Before it Kills You

inflated ball or rebounder, also just jump/vibrate on the floor.

There are THREE ways you can

generate this healthy healing vibration

using just the floor. I do all three.

1. You can bend your knees just slightly, and them move your

body up and down vertically as fast as you can, about 3-4 times

per second, without your heels leaving the floor

2. Keeping your knees locked, lift yourself with your toes off the

floor, landing on your heels as hard as is comfortable, 2-3

times per second. This helps not only your lymphatic system, but

also provides a health stress to

your bones that will trigger your body to strengthen your bones

as an intelligent adaptation. 3. Jump up OFF the floor as high

as you can for 10-20 seconds. When I do this, I touch the

ceiling, usually 20 times

If you are unable to do any bouncing on the floor or ball, then do your

bouncing ON YOUR BED.

29. *Drink a glass or two of water, preferably, purified water, and ideally

structured Hydrogen (H9) water.

Sometimes this by itself can make a huge difference (you need 8 glasses a

day of water—this is ESSENTIAL (this does not include other beverages,

even though they may be mostly water). When you are under stress,

you need even more water.

30. Massage your ears, from the center outward for 30 seconds each

using your thumb and forefinger.

Make sure you get to every part of it. This also has an energizing effect, and

is especially useful if you start to get sleepy while you are driving, or

anytime you need a quick pick up.

31. Squeeze the tips of each of your

fingers for six to ten seconds each as hard as you can without inflicting

pain. Be sure to cover the entire nail. Better yet, have someone else do this

for you. I really find this relaxing when my wife does this for me (and I

do it for her too!), often when we are driving.

32. *Ask someone to rub your

shoulders, neck, feet or hands, or all of the above. You can also do this on

yourself. For example, for your neck,

turn your head all the way to the right, reach across your chest with

your right hand, and place it around the left side of your neck (or shoulder

area). Slowly turn your head back to facing forward, AS you drag your

fingers across your skin with as much pressure as you can handle. Then

reverse this for the other side. Do this as you breathe deeply, visualizing

“breathing in light” and “breathing out the darkness”(stress) all the while

appreciating your tight muscles, allowing them to relax.

33. *Do a polarity correction by placing your left ankle over your right

ankle. Then place your right wrist over your left wrist (or you can do the

opposite positions, as long as the ankles are crossed opposite to your

wrists). Hold this position for one minute while you breathe deeply from

your diaphragm (if you are breathing correctly, your chest will NOT move—

your abdomen will. To enhance this

Page 36: Forty Ways to Kill Stress Before it Kills You

36

technique even further, think of a time you felt appreciated (Heart Math

technology, as in the Freeze-Frame technique).

34. *Do an Alpha-biotics alignment on yourself by lying face up on the floor,

with the sides of your hands (opposite your thumbs) under the bottom of

your skull at the top of the back of your neck. Create a firm grip, and

while you relax the rest of your body and exhale, quickly push your hands

upward (away from your feet, no away from the floor) as if trying to

lengthen your neck, with as much strength and speed that you have. Do

this five to ten times. To enhance this even more, when you are done, use

this stretching procedure. Slowly lift

your head off the floor slightly with your middle fingers under the occiput

(the area that is at the bottom of the skull at the top of your neck in back,

about one inch from the center of the spine—both sides). Supporting your

head in this way allows for your head to fall backwards slightly, and gently

stretches the upper spine. Now breathe deeply 3-4times from your

diaphragm (if you are breathing correctly, your chest will NOT move—

your abdomen will). You may feel a stretching in your lower back, and

even some “popping” of your lower

back vertebrae (this is good!).35. Do some Tai-Chi movements for a

minute, which are wide and very slow circular movements with your arms,

legs, head and body. Just make up movements, and do them very slowly.

You can get some ideas if you want from books on this.

36. *Qigong is used by 200+ million

people in China every day. In various

forms, it is used in China as the nucleus of a national self-care system

of health maintenance, as well as in most of the hospitals as part of their

health care program. It is even used

to treat serious diseases such as cancer, heart disease, asthma,

arthritis, AIDS, depression, pain, etc. This is a system of removing stress

(internal energy blocks) so as to enhance the flow of vital life energy,

which in turn enhances immune system function and improves blood

circulation. According to Dr. Jahnke, O.M.D., these are some of the

benefits from doing this daily:

Stimulates and nourishes the body’s internal organs by

breaking down energy blocks (internalized stress) and

increasing the natural flow of

your life energy

Enhances the efficiency of the immune system by increasing

lymphatic fluid flow

Improves the resistance to disease by accelerating the

elimination of toxic metabolic

waste products from the tissues, organs and glands through the

lymphatic system

Decreases heart rate and blood pressure and optimizes the

delivery of oxygen

Increases the efficiency of cell

metabolism and tissue regeneration through increased

circulation of oxygen to the brain, organs and tissues.

Page 37: Forty Ways to Kill Stress Before it Kills You

37

The basic principles of removing energy blocks are used in many

health care systems, such as Chiropractic, Acupuncture, Qigong and

any form of Kinesiology, such as

Energy Health Care and Touch For Health.

The following is an adapted segment

of Qigong that you can use on a daily basis as another way of reducing

stress and doing daily self health care. You can use this as a method of doing

a general or goal balancing. It can be used standing, sitting, lying down or

while walking.

1) This is one of my favorite exercises because I feel that I

benefit so much from it. I

normally do it every morning. This one involves contracting

and relaxing all your muscles with deep breathing. While

sitting or standing, place your hands over your heart.

Think of your heart and generate a feeling

of appreciation during the entire exercise.

Inhale deeply from your diaphragm and relax. As you slowly exhale,

slowly press your hands upward , as high as possible, as if lifting a heavy

weight, contracting as many of your

body’s muscles as possible, including the abdominal muscles, making your

stomach area hard, your the pelvic region as well as your face (open your

mouth as wide as you can to contract those muscles as well).

Once your hands are fully extended

above you, with all your muscles fully contracted as tight as you can (from

your toes to your nose) and your

breath fully exhaled, relax just the abdominal area so that you can pull

your stomach in as far as you can. If you can, repeat that two more times.

Then as you slowly draw your hands

back to your heart, relax and inhale deeply as you release all the tension.

Do this on one breath if possible, or work up to doing it on one breath.

Now repeat this process, except this

time the movement of the hands is forward as if pushing something heavy

away from you, contracting and slowly exhaling as before; then relax and

inhale as you slowly return your hands to your heart. Do this on one

breath if possible.

The third movement is the same except that it is outward to the sides,

contracting and exhaling as before;

then relax and inhale as you return your hands to your heart.

The fourth movement is the same

except that it is downward, contracting and exhaling as before; then relax

and inhale as you slowly return your hands to your heart. Repeat this

entire cycle of all four movements one to three times, feeling appreciation from

your heart.

End this procedure by relaxing and twisting your body at the waist 3-5

times, letting your arms swing freely, gently hitting your sides. If you only

have a minute to do this, do it for just

a minute, or just for 20 seconds (everything you do adds up, like

making a lot of small deposits into your “Health Checking Account.” You

can do this in any position and adapt it to any situation. You can do parts of

this procedure sitting at a desk, even

Page 38: Forty Ways to Kill Stress Before it Kills You

38

with just most of your muscles contracting. E.g. You can stretch out

just one arm at a time in front of you or down to your side, tighten all the

muscles in your body that you can in

that position, along with the breathing part.

(2. Your ears, hands and feet

are reflex microsystems. Apply pressure to these areas, using your

thumbs and forefingers, with the massage direction away from the

heart. Be sure to also squeeze the tips of the finger and toes, especially on

both sides of the bottom of the nail (this is where many of the meridians

begin or end). You can do this frequently.

(3. In this exercise, you direct your energy to your internal organs:

rub your hands together to create heat—this concentrates energy in

your hands. Apply your right hand over your liver (on the right) and your

left hand over your pancreas (on the left). Move your hands continuously

circularly, breathing deeply, visualizing your energy both

regenerating tissue and releasing toxins.

Do the same procedure over your

navel/stomach and thymus area

(breastbone). Then do it over your low back and kidney and adrenal

area. You can do this over any organs you want to support and/or cleanse.

37. Dissolve a tablet of “Calming”

homeopathic remedy in your mouth (made by BHI)

38. Put a few drops of the “Rescue” remedy (Bach Flowers) under your

tongue

39. *Go outdoors and take a brisk

walk in the fresh air, preferably where there are trees or water so that you

get the higher level of negative ions of oxygen. While you walk, meditate on

what or who you most appreciate.

Last but not least…

40. *Connect with God as you know Him (e.g. as your “higher power”, the

supreme Being, the Creator, or better yet, as your personal Father). Read

the Bible; pray or better yet, ask someone to pray for you. Meditate on

God and His Goodness and Greatness.

Here is a good promise: “In His

presence is fullness of joy” (Psalms 16:11).

Asking for and experiencing the

presence of God can quickly replace stress and joy! One of many excellent

resources on connecting with God is the web site,

www.PowerToChange.com.

Here are some of my favorite passages that you can read or on

which you can meditate when you are

feeling stressed: Psalms 1; 23; 34; 37; 42; 62; 63; 91; Proverbs 2; 3;

Philippians 4:4-9; I Peter 5:7 ****************************

Remember, even though all these

stress reduction methods are EASY to do, they are also easy NOT

to do. Knowing about them will not help you if you don’t use them. So do

yourself, your family and your

Page 39: Forty Ways to Kill Stress Before it Kills You

39

future a huge favor and use at least some of these everyday (I

do). I can’t guarantee that if you do, you will live to age 100, but what if

you lived an extra 10 or 20 healthy

years?

If you don’t kill STRESS first, it will kill

you.

Honor yourself (and others) by being responsible to do all you can to

enhance, maintain or regain your health, as Solomon advised us 3000

years ago:

“He who does not endeavor to heal himself is brother to him who commits

suicide.” Proverbs 18:9 (Septuagint version).

So if you are not proactively “making

deposits” into your “Health Checking Account”(healing yourself), you are

passively making withdrawals (killing

yourself).

Of course, in addition to these one minute techniques, I strongly

recommend that you incorporate other stress reducing practices into

your life on a daily basis, such as living from your purpose and mission,

walking 20 minutes each day, living a healthy lifestyle (including getting

enough sleep, eating healthy low glycemic foods and Power Food—

Edible Health Insurance supplements, etc.), taking time to enjoy things or

just having fun, believing for the best

(instead of worrying), doing volunteer work, getting a massage once a

month, etc.

Thank you for doing what you can to honor your “temple.” I trust that you

realize what is at stake in regards to your health, and that you do all you

can, consistently, daily, to live a healthy lifestyle.

Little things DO matter, because they add up, either for your good or for

your harm. Remember, that everything counts! Including YOU!

Please feel free to share these

ideas with others, because part of your purpose for being here is to

make a difference for others.

Thank you for ALL you do to make a difference for others!
