Magical De-Stressing
"The hectic pace of modern living produces stress."
This statement is easily the greatest understatement of modern times. Short of shelling out a hundred bucks an hour on the analyst's couch, many people feel there is little they can do to lower their stress levels. The gifts of Mother Nature, however, stirred together with a little bit of magic, can make all the difference.
Deep breathing, the same in-through-the-nose and out-through-the-mouth technique often used to induce meditation, can work wonders. When you feel that the world is closing in on you, close your eyes and spend two or three minutes focusing on nothing but your breathing. As you exhale, visualize all your pent-up tensions being released from you like poisonous gas.
Another trick is to stop and engage in a few minutes of inner-world frolic. Steady yourself with a few deep breaths, then visualize yourself in a fantasy scene of your choice: be promoted to the job you covet or take those extra bows on the stage at Carnegie Hall. Knowing you have this escape hatch to a better place open to you at any time can make even the most miserably stressful situation more bearable.
Grounding yourself can also help. This is an old magical trick whereby we collect and reconnect our scattered energies with the comforting stability of Mother Earth. If you are in a place where you can stand still for a few minutes, or where you can place your hands still for a few minutes, do so while visualizing all your stress collecting in the center of your body, then being filtered out through your feet or hands into Mother Earth.
If you are not in a position to touch the earth, simply sit still and visualize a beam of calming blue-violet light entering the top of your head, passing down through your body collecting all your tension, and then passing the tension right out through the root chakra at the base of your tailbone and on into Mother Earth.
If you are acquainted with personal spirit guides, or have patron deities, you can mentally call out to them to come to you and siphon off the stress. Ask them to place a hand on your head or stomach, or wherever else you feel is the center of your stress, and then place the other hand on the ground. Allow them to be a conduit for channeling away your tension.
If you are one of those people who tends to bring your stresses home and vent them on your family, try a simple grounding exercise as you walk from your place of employment to your car. With each step you take, mentally send your tension into your legs, and each time your feet hit the ground, allow a bit of the stress to ground out into the Earth. Get into the rhythm of this as you walk along, timing it so that when you reach your car, all your stress is gone. Take a few deep breaths before beginning the drive home.
If you find you have trouble sleeping due to stress, try expanding on any of the above mental exercises. If you find you are still wide awake, you might want to try soaking a washcloth in cool apple cider vinegar and placing this across your forehead. This old folk remedy can work wonders. Combine the compress with a foot or forehead massage for best results.
You may also want to treat yourself to a cup of herbal tea laced with ingredients known to produce relaxing effects on the body. Sitting down with a steamy hot drink seems a simple thing, but when you are stressed out and pressed for time, it can be the greatest of luxuries. Try teas of either catnip, valerian, peppermint, chamomile, hops, motherwort, passion flower, or any combination of these to help make you drowsy. Use about one teaspoon total of herbs for each six-ounce cup you brew. Unlike most pills, they are not addictive, they will not harm you if used occasionally, and they will not leave you feeling drugged in the morning.
(EDITOR'S NOTE: Use only small amounts of valerian at first, until you determine how it affects you.)
