Modalities

HowToRelieveStressNaturally.com uses four primary modalities or methods for approaching stress management: HRV Biofeedback, Kundalini yoga, Energy Medicine and Nutritionals. Each modality approaches stress management from a unique yet coherent perspective to give you options and new directions for managing your stress, high-functioning anxiety, and stress-related depression.

Begin by choosing one or more modalities that you are drawn to. Not everyone will like all four modalities–that is okay! Remember that small incremental changes done on a routine basis will go a long way to reducing the harmful effects of stress.
