After that Time magazine article actually got published in 1983, till today, in these 26 years. Our life has become more complicated, become more technology oriented. In all these years we have introduced mobile phones, internet, email, 24/7 news channels (those keep on telecasting brutal crime scenes). We are facing financial crises, have mortgages, credit cards bills, self managed retirement plans. As a nation we have concerns of terrorism, bad economy and global warming.

All these elements are causing more stress. An average American’s stress levels are far higher than that was in 80’s.

Influence of this stress is devastating on our physical and mental health. The AIS (American institute of Stress) has estimated 75 – 90% of all visits to physicians are illness caused by stress and heart disease. 1 in every 12 Americans or 8.09% of population is heart patient. A research conducted in 2001 shows 30.3% of deaths due to heart disease. It’s about 725,92 deaths every year. Situation is far worse in year 2009. Stress factors are increased and stress levels are sky rocketed causing more people to become heart disease patients and die of worrying. Today stress is truly the No. epidemic in United States of America.

Now question arises how an average America can reduce stress without changing the society or economy. The answer can be found in stress management techniques. However managing stress when you are stressed too much, almost close to your limit can be very challenging.

Dahn Yoga employs simple exercises based on ancient Korean healing traditions for its members and instructors. Instructors are naturally expected higher level of physical fitness, but this is no different from any other fitness based business. To reduce stress, you first have to know what stress actually is; “stress is circumstances that you are facing and the way you think about these circumstances.” So, if you can’t change circumstances, stress management techniques can change your way of thinking about circumstances. These techniques can teach you how to neglect bad thoughts and to concentrate at positive things, making you a cool headed person, strong and a better human.

I’ve met several people who are stressed to the point they feel overwhelmed, almost lost their senses. In condition where they can’t even understand and listen to sincere advice. There are exercises, yoga programs those can help you release stress.

Deliberately make vibrations in your body

When you begin, you will make the vibrations consciously. You may do so by following the beat of a song, or you may just fol¬low a rhythm that seems appropriate to vou. At this stage you should locus on relaxing the body as you move to the rhythm. Try to quiet the thinking mind by focusing only on the beat and the movement of your body. Avoid self conscious concern about how you look to others; just focus on yourself. To begin, gently shake the head left and right. As the neck starts feeling relaxed, shake the shoulders up and down. Let the sensation spread through your body as you shake your entire body while lightly bouncing up and down. As you shake, imagine that you are shaking off all your complicated thoughts and emotions. Try to release all tension from the body through your exhalation.

Completion means reaching a state of full awakening, in which you feel and live according to a continuous state of oneness. This means stepping beyond the ego of the small self to fulfill your mission of service to humanity. At this point your mind will be enveloped in constant joy, and you will be finally able to become that beautiful, fluttering butterfly.

Vibratory Resonance In many ways, our senses fool us into thinking that various people and objects in the world are separate from each other. Now physics tells us that there are no distinct boundaries between anything and anyone.

If the color and shape of objects can have so much influence on us, imagine how much influence we can have on each other. I am sure you have experienced that when someone is in a bad mood, that mood tends to rub off on you. By the same token, someone’s smile can completely turn your day around. Imagine what a difference we could make if we really tried to put this to full use. Enough people producing positive brain waves could change the world, don’t you think?

A change in collective human consciousness essentially requires an invisible and inaudible communication between brains. As you learn to orient your brain toward positive information, the whole of humanity will be lifted up as well. That may seem overwhelming at first, but it requires only that you first change your own brain to work in a wav that is most healthy for your own body and the Earth.
