Anxiety and rest are mutually exclusive – it is not possible to be anxious and relaxed at the
same time. This is because of the hormone cortisol. When cortisol is elevated we have a fight or flight
response. Although the initial rush of the similar but faster reacting hormone called adrenalin can feel
good, even mildly elevated levels of cortisol over a long period of time results in anxiety while high levels
can bring on heart palpitations, racing heart, dizziness and a sense of loosing your mind and the feeling of
a hand around the neck. These are the common descriptions of a panic attack.
Getting these elevated levels of cortisol back down to normal is the subject matter of myriad magazine
articles and web sites, dedicated to stress and anxiety. By simply resting your mind, in about 10 minutes time your adrenalin levels will subside and cortisol
levels will follow if you can clear your mind of daily distractions and be still. By doing this daily, cortisol levels will continue to decline on a day over day
basis, meaning you will awake with slightly lower levels then you had the previous morning. Under greater stress, it may be necessary to have a several
relaxation breaks during the day – a time to “reset”.
Of course when you are in the middle of a pressing situation, this is easier said than done, and for this reason there are many relaxation CD’s available to
help you clear your mind. It would help to choose one that is used by professionals to aid their clients, to that end, Christian Relaxation & Meditation on
Scripture has produced a series of relaxation and meditation sessions that will aid in this effort.

The purpose of imagery is simply to distract from your present concerns long enough for your cortisol levels to remain down. However for some the imagery
itself can cause conflict for many, especially for a christian type person or someone of religious values. Using the above 3 components, Christian Relaxation &
Meditation on Scripture has all original HiDef audio music recorded at 96 khtz and assumes a Christian value in the listener. The first half begins the process
deep breathing, muscle relaxation and then quieting the relaxer’s mind by focusing on God’s promises and goodness. The second half keeps the now relaxed
listener sustained in a joyful state while the music only track repeats, resulting in a sense of well being, peace and a quiet mind. For those suffering from
generalized anxiety, (mildly elevated cortisol) or anxiety and panic attacks (high elevated levels of cortisol), Christian Relaxation & Meditation on Scripture

I think it is interesting how natural remedies - natural help for anxiety -
including those reducing stress are becoming highly sought as scientific
research improves our understanding of what causes these symptoms.
Is it fair to say that anxiety could be the result of our fallen state?
Our real self and our ideal self conflicting with each other. We were
created to be perfect and now we find ourselves in an imperfect
world trying, to the best of our knowledge, to be perfect. But our imperfect minds don't know how to be
perfect so we start judging ourselves and others, placing unrealistic expectations on ourselves, husband,
kids, friends, family; telling ourselves that we should do this and that and be like so and so. Once you
Being aware of this begins your healing.
When we compare ourselves to others we lose. This is because I am comparing my "true" self with my
"front" self so of course I look bad. During these times of comparison, I don't know what is going through
your head but I do know what is going through mine, and it isn't pretty! And I have news for you, yours
isn't pretty either! Understanding this begins your progress toward a quiet mind.
When we realize that we are fellow strugglers and not super humans, then community brings reality to
our expectations; all the "shoulds", "must" "ought" and "have tos" that we place on ourselves and others.
We need to go easy with one another and be kind and compassionate to ourselves. This is part of your
path to reduced phantom stress.
Journaling is a great way to bring our thoughts captive. When a distorted thought comes, I sit down
and counter it with the truth of the situation and scripture. I compare it to how God really sees it vs.
my distorted view. Once I understand it, I take action. I make a plan to make the situation better; I
explain to myself that this is not true. I plan my finances, my kids education, my relationships, whatever
brings the source of my discontent. This is also part of your healing process.
We have a lot to do with our own happiness! And taking action is a great angst buster. Being connected
to good friends is necessary to bring us back to center when we wander off. I am a firm believer in the
power of small groups, support groups, any group that is open to share and not pretend that everything
is fine it is part of your restoration process. It isn't that easy to find them, but when you do, it's a gift.
Dr Henry Cloud and Dr John Townsend say "there is no healing in a vacuum." We need others, we need to
Be connected in order to heal.
Surrounding ourselves with scripture or short affirmations will do wonders. Stick Post-its all around your
office, kitchen, bathroom mirror help to remember that the enemy comes to lie, steal and destroy us,
but we are surrounded with truth. Then, after listening to these cd’s you will begin to have this truth
In your mind, where it can begin to clear your thoughts.
These insights into what causes stress are found in the Bible. I marvel that as science keeps advancing
and finding "new" ways to cope, God had already said it in His Word. Take the above prescription once
or twice daily for the rest of your life.
