“Stress is the health epidemic of the 21st century”
World Health Organization
Why is it that an overwhelming majority of doctor visits are due to stress (75-90%) and yet most of us are never taught how to manage the stressors in our lives? When stress becomes chronic it can manifest into high-functioning anxiety and stress-induced depression. These are not clinical levels of disease; rather, a reaction to today’s modern world.
Anxiety is a normal reaction to stress and can serve us in challenging situations. Anxiety raises a “red flag” that something is wrong. It alerts us to dangers and helps us prepare to mobilize to safety. When this early warning system remains on high alert throughout the day we have a problem that affects our health, happiness, and well-being.
High-functioning anxiety is not a clinical condition, yet it’s exhausting and impacts your health and well-being. Anxiety is your body’s natural response to prolonged exposure to unmanaged stress. When you always feel like the other shoe is about to drop, your anxiety can be triggered.
What can we learn about stress and anxiety from Wisdom traditions that practiced Ancient Rituals? New paradigms in healing high-functioning anxiety will involve more than talk therapy, the body has to get into the healing act and Ancient Ritual practices do just that!
Ancient Rituals presented in this book can help alleviate stress and high-functioning anxiety.
You’ll discover how to feel more:
Centered
Calm
Rejuvenated
Rested
Less reactive
Empowered
Confident
Resilient
Compassionate (towards yourself and others)
Ancient rituals practiced in a modern context helps rebuild your nervous system. In this book, we combine ancient ritual practices with evidence-based heart rhythm feedback so you know when you’re in the zone of calm and resilience.
Many people are searching for non-pharmaceutical solutions to stress, anxiety, and depression management. I designed this book to serve as a blueprint to get you started with learning to self-regulate your emotional responses to stress using Ancient Ritual practices.
