Taking your mental health “temperature” every day using the Stress Continuum helps you to figure out what kind of self-care you may be needing. Consider printing it out and putting it somewhere where you and your family are reminded to check in. It’s normal to fluctuate, we all live with the real demands of life. But, if you are in the red zone, PLEASE reach out for help immediately (National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 800-273-8255 ). If you are living more in the orange zone, life can be better and counseling can help.
The Stress Continuum:
The Over-Energy Correction was developed by Dr. Wayne Cook, a researcher of the human body’s electrochemical, biomagnetic and psychoenergetic force fields. The technique was designed to help people with symptoms of anxiety, irritability, strong and overwhelming emotions and even Tourettes, Dyslexia, and ADHD.
If you are feeling stressed, practice this technique for 2 minutes. I start almost every day doing this to get me “righted” for the day. I find that when I do, my day seems to go much better.
Over Energy Correction:
1. Stand or sit and cross your right ankle over your left ankle.
2. Extend your arms in front of you and turn your palms to face out.
3. Cross your left arm over your right arm. Clasp your hands together, interlace your fingers, and fold your arms inward to rest on your chest. Relax your shoulders.
4. Place the tip of your tongue on the roof of your mouth as you breath in, and drop the tongue as you exhale. This connects the governing and central meridians as your energy begins to flow in a figure 8.
5. Breathe in and out slowly for about 2 mins and notice any shifts in your energy and nervous system.
