It is estimated that over 85% of modern people suffer from stress-related problems. If you are under continual stress, it is likely that your brain, via your HPA axis, cannot reestablish equilibrium in your body (we refer to this as a state of homeostasis). It is thus likely that your body will be in a constant fight-or-flight state. Over time, this will create enormous wear-and-tear on your mind and body.
If you suffer from bad posture, this will only add to your stress levels. If you have bad posture and you are under constant stress, it is likely that your natural healing ability will be severely impaired.
When you use your posture cushion each evening, this is the perfect time to calm down and empty your thinking mind. Here are a few tips to help you reduce stress while using your posture cushion:
• Let go – purge yourself of your everyday thoughts and worries
• Be positive - think happy, pure, and loving thoughts
• Breathe - practice deep breathing. Your breathing should be automatic, deep, easy and balanced.
• Get in the mood - play some appropriate, soft music in the background, music that will help you relax.
• Get visual – imagine yourself relaxed, happy, healthy and with good posture.
The time on your posture cushion should be devoted to relaxing and changing your brain vibration so that it can attain a normal frequency after a tough, stressful day at the office.
Is it not time to empower yourself? A posture cushion can help release those blockages and increase your energy and blood flow. Feel the difference. Tackle life with zest and energy.
But be warned – not all posture cushions are equal.
