The stress level for most adult Americans today is off the charts. We worry about our families, our finances, and our futures to a degree not seen in a long time. In fact, we are so stressed out that our incidence of chronic health conditions such as diabetes and heart disease is growing to alarming rates, giving us all even more to worry about. nnGetting our stress responses under control can make a huge difference in people's overall health. There is a simple, unique, yet powerful technique to help with stress called Brain Wave Vibration, which actually alters your brain waves. It can be done by anyone, at any time, even by people with limited mobility or poor cardiovascular fitness. nnThe basic form of Brain Wave Vibration may sound too simple to be effective, but it works: shake your head. Create a vibration in the brain by moving to your own internal rhythm, and you will create a more calm and productive response to stressful situations. As your head and neck relax, the vibration will travel down through the brain stem, then down the spine, relaxing the entire body. As you move, focus your attention on your brain stem, which is just above your spinal cord, to help you relax and quiet your mind even more. Breathe comfortably, opening your mouth slightly as you exhale.nnBrain Wave Vibration relaxes tension in the muscles and internal organs, further helping to reduce the effects of stress. Another form of Brain Wave Vibration is known as "brain tapping," which is just as easy: use your fingertips to lightly tap on your head, starting with your temples and then moving across your skull, in a light, rhythmic fashion. You can also gently tap your face to relax the muscles there and stimulate the blood vessels in your skin. This technique brings more blood flow up and into your brain and balances it evenly over all parts of your brain. nnBrain Wave Vibration is the key exercise in a larger system of holistic, brain-centered health methods called Brain Education. Based on a Korean tradition of mind-body training called Dahn Yoga, as well as the latest scientific data, Brain Education is made up of very simple, yet profoundly effective, movements that help our brains and bodies learn how to re-channel stress and enhance our brain's functioning. nnThe trick with Brain Wave Vibration is that it quiets the thinking mind, or prefrontal cortex, and allows you to gain control over the content it produces so that your brain stem has a chance to coordinate the equilibrium that it exists to create. The brain stem creates balance between the sympathetic nervous system, which produces the body's stress response, and the parasympathetic nervous system, which is in charge of the rest-and-digest response. When we are stressed these systems are out of balance because the thinking brain is constantly sending messages that keep our bodies in a state of alarm without time to recover. Brain Wave Vibration restores this balance quickly and effectively whenever you need it.nnFor more information about Brain Wave Vibration, you can visit www.brainwavevibration.com.
