Dealing with Stress
Summary
Stress can kill. It works silently and invisibly, eroding our minds and bodies. This is ironic, since stress evolved to help us survive. Sudden danger triggers the release of hormones that rev the body up for a life or death struggle, or a frantic escape from danger. This adrenalin rush can be addictive. But when this adrenalin is constantly flowing, it actually harms the body.
Today, people no longer need be concerned about predators, but rather about work, their relationships, their money and their health. Over an extended period of time, these stress hormones can cripple the immune system and put harmful pressure on the heart – leading to a heart attack or stroke. In order to deal with stress, a variety of techniques are used, including meditation.
