calming the sympathetic nervous system

[Guest guest]

How can we calm the sympatheic nervous system which seems to be in

overdrive for many of us, causing feelings of stress, anxiety,

inability to digest food etc. If I could go for a realxation massage

every day or even every second day that would help but alas, not

possible. Is there anything else that would help?

I think writing helps me.

Or, recommended by a few docs is meditation...its not so physical and

won't raise your pulse a ton like yoga.

I havent tried meditation yet, but will once I understand it.

That, or if you're religous...pray!

There are also tons of counting excerises out there to calm you

during a stressful event. But, if something is going to stress you

out, its not the stressful event that hurts you, its the effect it

has on your body.

,

It's not that I get stressed with a particular event, it's that I

constantly feel tense and stressed at ALL times, even just before bed

or just when I wake up. I do mediatate by the way, but it doesn't

seem to be enough.

I'm wondering what I ca do as well, if anyone has found any

supplements or treatments helpful. I've heard of something called

Network Chiropractic that's supposed to help. Anyone here tried it?

Pets are supposed to help people with stress. Especially the act of petting

them. If you don't have one and decide to get a pet, be sure to pick on that

is very calm and laid back though!

I suggest you learning EFT and some energy medicine methods may be helpful..

Donna Eden's book might be helpful.

also valerian,lemon balm and some adaptogens might be tried.
