Stress Reduction Through Relaxation & Visualization

Each seminar session is 1½ hours in length and meets once a week for four weeks
 

New York Times — The simple act of becoming relaxed can have surprising health benefits, new research is showing. Deep relaxation can strengthen the immune system and produce a host of other medically valuable physiological changes. In asthmatics, relaxation can widen air passages. In some diabetics, relaxation can reduce the need for insulin. In patients with chronic pain, relaxation can bring about significant relief. Moreover, the research shows relaxation may help ward off disease by making people less susceptible to viruses, and by lowering blood pressure and cholesterol levels.

An Amazing Story
By Dr. Eugene F. Eiden

"Two years ago I was shocked to be diagnosed with stomach cancer. I took responsibility for the healing and used every treatment modality I could find out about that might strengthen my inner healing power. I took advantage of touch therapy, visualization, nutrition, exercise, a therapy group, as well as chemotherapy, relaxation and prayer. Four months after the diagnosis a new examination indicated that the cancer was gone. No cancerous tissue could be found. My energy was back and I didn’t look or feel sick! I realized that years of unrelenting stress had slowly undermined my immune system, which was unable to fight off the cancer cells present in all of us. Cancer was my symptom—the underlying disease was my unresolved stress!"
