In
order to connect to our true nature, our true Self, and create the
strategies to fully express our life’s purpose, we must first
clear the stress:
Stress
is the inability of a person to effectively adapt to his/her
environmental demands. Recent research suggests that stress is in
association with nearly every symptom, condition and disease. Being
stressed causes specific changes in the brain and body that, in an
immediately stressful situation, are absolutely necessary, but in
the long term are detrimental to nearly every function in the
body.
One aspect of the stress response is the diminished blood flow to
the part of the brain called the frontal cortex. This part of the
brain is where we have the experience of gratitude, love, joy and
spiritual connection. It is where we do complex decision making and
planning. When our systems are overloaded with stress, it is
difficult for us to fully experience our sense of love, joy and
gratitude and it does not allow us to make choices in life in the
most reasonable way.
The modern world is full of potential stressors and as a result,
the human brain and nerve system have a hard time keeping up with
daily life. This inability to effectively adapt to life’s
demands causes the lower portion of the brain to interpret the
world as though we need to be protected. This lower brain reaction
to life’s challenges is part of our natural stress response
and is referred to as the “fight or flight”
response.
In this state, we no longer respond to life and our environment, we
react.
Resetting the stress
response to have the opportunity to connect with our true essence
requires new strategies in our systems:
Our brains and bodies are designed to self heal; self organize,
grow and evolve. There is an innate intelligence or inner wisdom
built into every one of us. This intelligence is orchestrated and
coordinated through the brain. The brain and nerve system not only
coordinate all of our life processes but also relate us to the
world. We navigate our environment through the strategies available
to us in our being.
At Zoller Thomas we promote this natural tendency for the brain to
reorganize and grow. Our practitioners utilize gentle touches,
coaching, and somato-respiratory integration exercises in a
sequence that cues the brain to develop new strategies for stress
relief, growth and development. These remarkable new strategies
have never been demonstrated in any other discipline.
The new strategies that the body creates become permanent and can
be used for a lifetime to release tension, dissipate the stress
response, grow and thrive in the world.
Stress halts our natural tendency toward growth. Zoller Thomas
guides you in developing strategies to clear the stress that has
been stored in your body, connect you to your true self and create
the life you are here to live.
