Looking for practical knowledge and powerful tools and resources to empower you on your journey back to natural health and optimal wellbeing?
Ready to take control and take action to de-stress your life?
Now that you identified your stressors and underlying root causes and connected the dots between your stressors and your current health conditions, it’s time to de-stress back to natural health and optimal wellbeing. In the context of My Wellbeing Compass, “de-stressing” refers to resolving the root causes that underly your chronic stress, stimulating your natural self-repair mechanisms back to action, and restoring your birthright state of inner balance (or homeostasis).
Resolving physiological stressors alone will get you only halfway to the “promised land”. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is transforming your limiting thought and emotional patterns as well as learning to cultivate a state of relaxation response– a physical state of deep rest that will completely alter your physical and emotional responses to stress– on a regular basis.
Scientists have shown that practices, such as mindfulness, meditation and prayer, lower heart rates, blood pressure and oxygen consumption, and they alleviate the symptoms associated with a vast array of conditions, including hypertension, arthritis, insomnia, depression, infertility, cancer, anxiety, even aging.
Latest research by Herbert Benson, MD, of Harvard Medical School and the Benson-Henry Institute for Mind Body Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital, published in the online journal Public Library of Science ONE, suggests that practicing relaxation response techniques can actually lead to genomic activity changes.
In the study, his team of researchers looked at how the relaxation response affected each of the body’s 40,000 genes and found that, compared with a control group, those who regularly used the relaxation response induced anti-oxidation and anti-inflammatory changes that counteracted the effects of stress on the body.
In short, de-stressing your mind-body continuum will enable your body to go back to its natural state of self-balancing, self-correcting and self-healing!

Distress or chronic stress is uncontrollable, prolonged, or overwhelming stress. Once stress becomes distress, the body manages to survive though not always to thrive. For example, when faced with periods of chronic stress, the body’s immune system function is lowered, and the digestive, excretory, and reproductive systems no longer function the way they should. In a state of distress, the cells of the immune system (and other body systems) are unable to respond normally and produce levels of inflammation which increase the risk of further health issues.
Homeostasis refers to your body’s ability to regulate itself and maintain a comparatively stable internal environment despite external and internal conditions and events.
Your body is designed to be in a state of homeostasis, where all the systems within are functioning optimally.
Stressor is anything that is perceived by the body as challenging, threatening or demanding.
In the context of My Wellbeing Compass, your “Health Story” represents the combination of your dis-eases, conditions, symptoms and the history that binds them together. It is multi-layered and multi-dimensional. Unearthing and resolving the root causes at the core of your Health Story is the only way to truly rewrite this Story.
The body is made up of intelligent, living cells that are dynamically connected. They communicate and just know what to do and when to do it in any given situation. They grow, replicate, repair, and age. Every 90 days, the body has a new bloodstream; every year, it manufactures billions of new cells; colon cells refresh every 4 days; the skin is entirely regenerated every 2-3 weeks; white blood cells regenerate in about 1 year; the liver renews itself at least once every 2 years; and the skeleton replaces its cells entirely every 10 years.
You are an incredibly complex, interactive, and dynamic living organism that is well-equipped with self-repair mechanisms that can fight infections, eliminate toxins, fix damaged DNA, destroy cancer cells, and even slow down aging.
This natural self-healing ability (also referred to as cellular intelligence or body’s innate intelligence) explains spontaneous remissions from seemingly “incurable” diseases.
