Stress has become so integral to many of our lives, that sometimes we do not even realize that we are stressed.

Living in stress, we lose our joys, feel unappreciated, overwhelmed and resentful. Without our sense of well-being, life often seems hard, futile, overwhelming or empty. 

When this happens, some of us get depressed. Others start focusing on our work, children or friends ... or something else to keep "happy". 

Still others blame spouses, bosses or co-workers. In the process, we often leave perfectly good marriages and jobs and keep searching for something that will make us feel whole and happy again. 

The answer lies within us. More specifically, in our energy systems.

Our thoughts are energy. Our feelings are energy. Our beliefs are energy. It follows that when we start understanding energy and working with it, we can find unexpected answers, guidance and resources within us and literally change our personal worlds. As our thoughts, so our deeds. So we find ourselves acting in more resourceful ways and becoming more aware of ourselves and our choices.

Energetic Stress Relief provides much-needed access to the body's energies. Done primarily through the energetic body's meridians (the same meridians that are used in acupuncture and acupressure) it gives us an option to replace unresourceful energy with greater self-love, confidence and empowerment.

Simultaneously, it is often amazingly quick. Clients usually feel the difference within one session itself.

There are side effects though - a feeling of lightness, joy and empowerment!

Do your perhaps remember the grandparent with whom you did not have to say a word but felt perfectly loved and accepted? Or do you remember the friend who could provide soothing balm with his sheer presence?

These are all people who through their energies bring a sense of well-being to others. They may not do it consciously but deep within them are ingrained habits of positive and encouraging thoughts.

Now can you remember a co-worker who walks into the room and everyone wants to walk out? Such people are unknowingly sending out energy that reduces one's sense of well-being.

So who are you from these two types of examples?

Do you remember, perhaps, how joyous you used to be as a child and wonder where that has gone?

We are born with a wonderful sense of joy. We see its delight in the eyes of babies and little children frolicking with friends. However, over time we start layering beliefs and perceptions on this joy. The result is that the joy gets hidden from sight while we continue to do all the things we are "supposed to do".

As we uncover and release these layers, our sense of well-being returns, as does the delight in our hearts.

Even though they work on energetic meridians that only a few people can see, acupuncture and acupressure have long been accepted as techniques that create tangible results in the physical body. Their results have been so impressive that many insurance companies reimburse such treatments, even though they defy the standard medical understanding of how the human body works.

The reason that these techniques work is that acupuncture and acupressure practitioners use the physical body to access the energy body and shift energy there.

So, the energetic body is very real. While we may deny or not be aware of its existence in daily life, it impacts us daily as it stores our thoughts, beliefs and emotions.

While most acupuncturists and acupressurists access this energy body through the meridian system to create physical healing, emotional healing can be done through these systems too - painlessly, and surprisingly quickly. This is the direction that Energetic Stress Relief takes. Using its techniques, it is not unusual for old issues to resolve within a single session.

So you might suspect that this means that you will have to bear old traumas again to be able to "work through them". However, this is where Energetic Stress Relief is different. It is powerful minus the pain.

What a wonderful gift of gentleness and healing for all of us!
