Just Stress Relief

Yo can get stress relief in many ways. People are finding that there’s stress relief in some ancient traditions, like Celtic music and Celtic knots.

Celtic Music – for relaxation and meditation

There are certain features that should be associated with Celtic stress relief music when using this powerful method to dispel stress.  One of those features should be an appropriate musical rhythm.  Rhythm is the measured movement of the music.  To reduce stress the rhythm should be slow and methodical.  The appropriate number of the music’s rhythmic beats should be 72 beats per minute or less.  This is due to the fact that this is the average number that the human heart beats per minute.

In addition, the music that is used to relieve stress should produce powerful imagery.  That imagery could be rolling hills, lush green grass, softly flowing streams, etc.  The instrumentation and music of Celtic stress relief music creates those stress relieving thoughts.  This is due to the mind associating the flutes and stringed instruments of Celtic music with the countryside of Ireland and Scotland.

When listening to Celtic stress relief music allow its embrace and visualize the music like a light spring shower washing away the stress from the day.  Also, allow breathing to ebb and flow with the music.  In addition, it is important to concentrate on the music of silence between the notes.

Celtic Knots and Celtic embroidery

Another stress relief action that can be taken by individuals is by engaging in a hobby. 
A hobby will help to divert the thoughts and energies of the stressed individual and concentrate on an activity in which there are no expectations, timelines or other stresses. 

Therefore, one additional Celtic stress relief method is through the hobby of tying Celtic knots and Celtic embroidery. There are at least two benefits that can be realized through this Celtic stress relief method.

The first is that the Celtic knot is a symbol of eternity.  These interwoven knots are often seen on marriage bands.  The symbolism of these knots on wedding bands speaks to eternal love and commitment.  When involved in this Celtic stress relief hobby, the individual may be able to increase their spiritual awareness and realize that stresses pale in comparison to eternal things.

The secondary benefit is the education and satisfaction gained from creating something beautiful from stress.  The educational lesson is that stress can be channeled and used positively.

Vibrational Stress Relief machines are a new product on the stress relief market.
Exercise reduces stress; however a lot of people don’t have much time for exercise.  Vibrational stress relief machines use a series of rapid vibrations, almost like the vibrations you feel when you hold a working drill, to move you when you can’t be bothered to move yourself.  The vibrations cause muscle contractions and improve circulation, and thus lower stress.  The machines usually come with various speeds to shake to.

A Vibrational Stress Relief Machine – what it does

Ever get a really good massage, or soak in a Jacuzzi when the jets are on?  Feels good doesn’t it?

That feeling good lowers your stress levels, which can make you healthier.  When you’re stressed, you’re more prone to catch any bug going around, or to make mistakes that might wind up hurting you in the body and in the pocketbook.  Stress can also contribute to digestive, heart and sexual problems.

Ever have to make a speech and really didn’t want to?  Your heart pounds, you tremble, your blood pressure rises.  Living with stress can make you feel like that all of the time.  It’s not good on the body.

So, there’s now a vibrational stress relief machine that looks a lot like an exercise treadmill.  You stand on it, hold tight to the bar and get nicely shaken (not stirred) for fifteen minutes.

This supposedly also helps you lose weight, but the weight loss benefits haven’t been proven yet.  However, many people have reported much reduced stress levels after a “workout” on the vibrational stress relief machine.

These machines are expensive.  There are some that only cost a few hundred dollars, but most cost thousands and they can be found in health clubs and spas.  You can use the vibrational stress relief machine by itself or in combination with other treatments, depending on what the individual club or spa offers.  Since they are relatively new, the price will most likely drop in time.
