FOR YOU \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0ALL DAY\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0EVERY DAY<\/strong><\/p>\n

Welcome to STRESSBUSTERS.\u00a0 We need stressbusters now, more than ever, with all the stress and upheaval in our lives due to the\u00a0 Covid-19 pandemic. There is much uncertainty (and uncertainty creates anxiety) about what will happen next, how long before we have a vaccine, and will life ever return to \u201cnormal\u201d ? The antidote to anxiety about the future is mindfulness, and to be in the present moment.\u00a0 The present moment truly is all that is certain, and bringing our attention to what is here and now\u2014right now\u2014will help to dissolve that anxiety.<\/p>\n

To help draw your attention in and be present in the moment, we have assembled a group of holistic practitioners who have generously shared their expertise and offered own methods and modalities to help you better manage the stress and the stressors in your lives.<\/p>\n

Christel Autuori, Jesse Rovero, Marcia Kendall, and Dr.Robyn Housemann offer meditations, Lara Ward offers a restorative yoga practice, Bobbi Soares presents an experience in sound healing, Alison Birks provides information on adaptogenic herbs for stress, Dr. Sheri Marshall offers a video on energy, caffeine and and good lifestyle habits, Dr. Deborah Augenbraun offers Creating Calm Meditations, Christel Autuori has tips for busting stress in seconds, and a group of WCSU students have created a website with other information and techniques to help you relax and de stress.\u00a0 We have also included a\u00a0 short video produced by Dr. Jeff Schlicht ,\u00a0 Director of the Exercise as Medicine program at WCSU,\u00a0 in conjunction with WCSU Counseling, Health Services, and Campus Recreation.<\/p>\n

Look at our offerings and see which draws you in, what appeals to you.\u00a0 Try one or several of these practices, once, or several times, as you wish.\u00a0 Be gentle with yourself, be patient. \u00a0Taking just a little time each day, to settle yourself, to give yourself the gift of rest and relaxation, can make a positive difference in your life, make the day go more smoothly, and bring you a sense of calm and peace.<\/p>\n

If you have questions or want\/or need additional information about Stressbusters, or\u00a0 the Institute for Holistic Health Studies and our programs and offerings, , please do not\u00a0 hesitate to \u00a0contact Christel Autuori, Director of the Institute for Holistic Health Studies,\u00a0 at autuoric@wcsu.ed<\/a>u<\/p>\n

    <\/a>START BY CATCHING YOUR BREATH<\/span><\/p>\n

    The breath pattern is an indicator of the emotional state.\u00a0 Recent studies confirm that when we are happy we breathe deeply and fully.\u00a0 When we are upset our breath is shallow, rapid, and uneven.\u00a0\u00a0 Not only is the emotional state characterized by a specific breathing pattern, but even more remarkable is that the breathing pattern can induce the emotional state!\u00a0\u00a0 By breathing fully and completely, the intake of oxygen is improved, resulting in better heart and lung function, healthier skin, and better digestion. You feel calm, relaxed, and at peace.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Begin by observing your breath.\u00a0 Are you filling your lungs completely?\u00a0 Is your chest rising when you inhale, or is your abdomen rising on the inhalation?\u00a0 Is the breath long and gentle, or is it short and ragged?\u00a0 Now take a deep breath.\u00a0 Feel your belly rise as you inhale into the lower lobes of the lungs and then feel the side of your body, the ribs, expand outward as you fill the middle section.\u00a0 Fill the upper part of your lungs, up to your collarbones as your inhale completely.\u00a0 When you exhale, simply reverse the process.\u00a0 You can finish the exhalation with a gentle abdominal contraction.\u00a0 Take a few breaths this way, paying attention to how and where your lungs are filling.\u00a0 Place one hand on your chest and the other on your abdomen to help you concentrate on your breathing.\u00a0 Focus completely on your breathing.\u00a0 As the breath becomes long and gentle, you activate the relaxation response, which is the opposite of the stress response (\u201cfight or flight\u201d) .The heart rate and the blood pressure fall, and the respiration rate slows. The immune response is enhanced and creates a sense of well-being.\u00a0 You are calm and serene.<\/p>\n

    <\/a>Reiki, Breathwork, Meditation, and Spiritual Guidance <\/span><\/strong>with Professor Marcia Kendall<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

    Reiki provides a means for balancing the energy in the body. When energy is blocked and cannot flow freely, the result can be discomfort, pain or a feeling that things \u201cjust are not right\u201d. Reiki is often done in person but is equally effective from a distance or offered virtually.<\/p>\n

    Breathwork and meditation are long standing modalities to promote relaxation and rest. Slowing the breath and meditating can help tone the vagus nerve, essential in arresting and reversing the stress response in us. Professor Kendall has a wealth of experience as a reiki master and healer utilizing many modalities and techniques.<\/p>\n

    Professor Kendall offers these sessions to the WCSU community and alumni virtually on Tuesdays from 12-3 pm. To schedule an appointment, contact her at kendallm@wcsu.edu<\/p>\n

    <\/a>Busting Stress in Seconds with Christel Autuori \u00a0RYT \u00a0MA \u00a0NBC-HWC<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    Get moving<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \nGo outside\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Walking or playing outsides provide a dose of Vitamin D\u2014even if it is cloudy.\u00a0 Many ancient sages took a walk outside to help find a solution to a problem
    \nPet a dog or cat<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Petting an animal can help you slow down, be present, and\u201cstay in the moment\u201d. Research has shown that stroking your pet can reduce blood pressure and heart rate.
    \nTake a breather<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Take a few deep breaths, focusing on the sensations of the air entering and exiting your body.\u00a0 Listen to the sound it makes, feel the temperature of the air as it comes in your nose

    <\/a>Adaptogens for Stress\u00a0 Relief with Allison Birks \u00a0MS, RH (AHG), CNS <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    Herbal remedies excel at supporting the body\u2019s ability to to manage stress and can enhance resilience during uncertain time. Herbs can be used to calm the nervous system, promote sleep, and foster a more positive outlook on life. Herbal adaptogens are a class of herbs that enable the body to adapt to many\u00a0 of life\u2019s physical, emotional and mental stressors. These are generally non-toxic herbs which act as tonics or regulators of the body\u2019s neuro-endocrine function. Adaptogens are non-specific, are usually taken for long periods of time, and can enhance mental and physical performance. Many adaptogenic herbs are also supported by scientific research.<\/p>\n

    Good herbalists treat people, not disease.\u00a0 As a practicing herbalist of 25+ years, I often recommend one or two adaptogenic herbs for each of my clients. Which herbs I choose is determined by several factors, including the client\u2019s energetic constitution. Some adaptogenic herbs are more strongly stimulating and are far more appropriate for individuals who are depleted or lacking energy and vitality, such American and Chinese ginsengs. These nourishing adaptogens are best for those who are recovering from illness or who have gone through trauma. Ginsengs are usually also far more appropriate for older individuals.<\/p>\n

    Some adaptogenic herbs are cooling and can benefit those who have a fiery constitution, such as Eleuthero and Rhodiola.\u00a0 Eleuthero is an adaptogen that is especially suitable for younger people. Rhodiola rosea is an herbal adaptogen that helps those who need to enhance memory, focus and mental clarity.\u00a0 Rhodiola has scientific studies which support it\u2019s effectiveness for ameliorating some of the symptoms of Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and can be useful in these individuals. Rhodiola is considered a dry, astringent herb. For this reason, it would not be useful in individuals who display symptoms of dryness, from an energetic perspective. An herb such as Ashwagandha is especially helpful for women as they go through menopausal changes, is relaxing as well as stress-relieving. Ashwagandha is also mildly stimulating to the thyroid.<\/p>\n

    Tulsi or Holy Basil is an adaptogenic herb that can be used to make a delicious tasting tea. Tulsi is uplifting, relaxing, anti-inflammatory, and settling to the stomach. It is suitable for most individuals.\u00a0 Another favorite adaptogen of mine is Reishi, also known as \u201cSpirit Mushroom.\u201d\u00a0 Reishi\u00a0 not only helps the body to withstand the stresses of\u00a0 life, but it is calming to the nervous system, is anti-inflammatory and can aid those who suffer from allergies and asthma as well. Reishi is a whole body tonic, but is especially effective at building a strong immune system.<\/p>\n

    Clearly, there are numerous adaptogenic herbs to choose from when it comes to stress relief. Which one is right for you depends on many factors: your age, health concerns, energetic constitution, use of medications, etc. It is best to contact an experienced herbalist, a pharmacist or a healthcare practitioner that has been trained in the use of herbs, to help guide you to the adaptogenic herb(s) that are most suitable for your body.<\/p>\n

    <\/a>Are you Choosing Caffeine Wisely? (video)<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

    Sheri T. Marshall, M.D.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    I am the functional medicine doctor for transforming stress to zest for life.<\/p>\n

    I earned my degree in nutrition from Cornell University, completed a dietetic internship, and received my medical degree from New Jersey Medical School. As a Family Practice physician, wife and mother, I ran my body into the ground while pursuing a career and taking care of my family. Years of stress took their toll on my health in the form of fatigue, muscle aches, and headaches. When a healthy diet, exercise, and medication did not provide relief, I found functional medicine, which focuses on treating the \u201croot cause of the problem\u201d. I am now passionate about addressing stress and sharing the \u201csecret sauce\u201d to health. I have been the guest speaker at Tidewater community college and the Eastern Virginia Medical School. On my website I share my story and lifestyle choices that helped me transform my stress to zest for life.<\/p>\n

    Come check it out! My goal is that what I share will help you too.<\/p>\n
