Stress can be mental or emotional and depends on the pressure we experience in situations that threaten our well-being or tax our resources. Our bodies react to emergencies with the “fight or flight” responses. Stress hormones flood the system, the heart pumps faster, muscles tense and breathing increases. Our reaction to these external and internal pressures is governed by the amount of control we feel we have. Some symptoms of stress are irritability, sweating, racing heart, anxiety, indigestion, headaches and raised blood pressure. Left untreated stress can lead to medical conditions as severe as depression, heart disease, ulcers, and chronic fatigue.

Our Practitioner’s Holistic Recommendations

Philip Clark, Numerologist | Profile
Stress is now being considered as one of the leading factors in all areas of illness and disease.When we are under stress our breathing becomes very shallow. Shallow breathing reduces the intake of oxygen and life force into the body. By remembering to take a deep breath and saying very slowly your full Birth name, you will bring your body into complete balance.

Through the information revealed from your Numerological profile you will learn your stressors, why they are there, and how to begin to reduce their impact on you.

Research shows that 90% or more of all illness is caused in some way by stress. Because we’ve become so used to overly demanding jobs (especially in this tough economy), less than perfect nutrition, and all the other taxing factors of our modern, frantic lives, we often have no idea how stressed our minds and bodies really are. Instant help: Take a deep breathing break – breathing from the belly – for just one minute every hour, whether you’re at the office or at home. That will relax your lungs as well as your stomach, where we hold a lot of emotional tension.

Reiki is a simple, effective way to relax, relieve stress, and restore energy. Because it relaxes the body at such deep levels, one hour of Reiki is equivalent to three or four hours of very deep sleep. Regular Reiki treatments are excellent therapy, because they help keep the body in a relaxed, and therefore disease-free, state. Taking my Reiki class will allow you to give yourself, and those you love, Reiki treatments every day.

Did you ever find yourself saying or doing things that don’t feel quite right, almost as if someone or something was influencing you? And in fact, it may be. We live in a world of energy, and sometimes energy fragments – from others or even from our own unresolved past lives – can collect in our energy fields. This is most likely to happen when our normal protective energy fields are weakened by grief, stress, or trauma, or by substances such as anesthesia, alcohol or drugs.

In hypnotherapy, you will scan your body for areas that don’t feel quite right – either something is missing (clients report that “there is an empty space or a dark hole”), or there’s something there that is out of place, such as a red, silver or black spot or something jagged or metallic. With my guidance, you have the power to heal this by finding what belongs in the empty space or by removing the energy fragment and replacing it with loving golden light.
