Long walks, and repeating that this too shall pass, because it always, always does. And knowing that, I can't help but smile.
Also, I will lift up my eyes to the hills from where comes my strength… These are both from the Bible, and we can access
them anytime…Plus, the answers I get from meditation are coming in clearly and more often now.

Lawson:Forgive me, somehow your comment slipped by me unnoticed. I think you will enjoy Bruce Lipton's work. I became familiar with him after a friend gave me his DVD on the impact beliefs and environment have on fetuses and children. Right up your alley, I imagine.Please let me know what you think of the book. If you are interested and want to review the science supporting the book look for the DVD, "The Biology of Belief" not the "Lite" version though. The original DVD is so intellectually heavy, many were lost. The "Lite" DVD is more of the conclusions rather than the background.I hope all is well with you.Cynthia

Hello Peppy!Somehow your comment and the one after it slipped by me unnoticed. Your question:"As far as the stress health connection goes, many doctors say that chronic stress weakens the immune system and invites illness. If that is true, does it not stand to reason that chronic joy, relaxation or peace might invite health?" is one I ask so frequently that I had to go back and read my post to see if I wrote it. It makes so much sense, doesn't it?I read your blog today and as always I'm grateful for your courage in the face of real challenge.May every wonderful thing life has to offer, come your way.Cynthia

Cynthia,I found the focus and content of this article very helpful.Two things:I purchased the book you referenced – "Biology of Belief" (it has a parental influence chapter… yeah!)and…I will incorporate the De-Stressor concept in my blog entry about parental examples as they relate to emotional stability.Thanks for the references and the information.Lawson

Deb:It's amazing how much we know, but overlook. It is rare that I read something completely unfamiliar, but often that I realize that I could do more.Hope you are very well,Cynthia

Enjoyed this article and have always believed in a connection between intense or chronic stress and illness. It was after an enormously stressful situation that my health changed suddenly and I was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease;fast forward a few years and the same was true when I was diagnosed with breast cancer.It's great how you point out that there are options we have for helping us take charge of our life and try to control our stress or de-stress completely … it doesn't just happen but, rather, we have to put forth effort.Your Blog is a recent "find" … and I'm enjoying it.

Stress is a definitely a killer and also impairs our memory.That's why I believe it's so important to get away from it all by yourself and with your significant other as often as possible. So that we remember why we put ourselves through what we do in the daily grind of life. I love it when someone presents scientific evidence of things we already instinctively know and understand. Thanks for sharing!

Wonderful post. I was aware of the link between stress and illness, but I rarely remember to step back and de-stress. Thank you for the reminder.
