Stress
Stress is at first something healthy: the activation energy that arises when we recognise a task and want to solve it. It becomes harmful as a lasting state without balance. At the Kyborg Institute we additionally regard the theme on a soul-related level, expressly as a personal, worldview-based view.
Our reading
With lasting stress, the body provides energy that is not used – it “circles”, the musculature stays in constant readiness. Whoever cannot act or “fight” is often done good by the opposite: movement. That is why jogging works liberatingly on many stressed people – the provided energy is broken down. In addition, autogenic training lowers the basic tension. The combination of movement and relaxation we hold to be especially effective.
What does that mean in practice?
- Use movement as a valve (jogging, cycling, walks).
- Relax regularly – for instance with autogenic training or meditation.
- Have persistent stress complaints (sleep, cardiovascular, stomach) clarified by a doctor.
