You eat right. You take your vitamins but if your
shoulders are so tight they feel as if they might just touch your ears and your schedule is even tighter ,stress just might be overtaking the effects of your blood thinning medicine.
In a recent study from the Journal of Behavioral Medicine a rigorous fish oil regimine (9 capsules a day for a month)diminished the body's ability to form dangerous clots.
Just 8 minutes of stress was enough to wipe out those benefits,
returning the clotting ability to where it was before suplementation.

Stressful situations in which the individual has no control were found to activate an enzyme in the brain called protein kinase C, which impairs the short-term memory and other functions in the prefrontal cortex, the executive-decision part of the brain, say Dr. Amy F.T. Arnsten of Yale Medical School. “
It doesn’t have to be traumatic, as long as you feel out of control”, she said “ Control is the essential factor…If you are confident, you don’t have these problems. PKC affects a part of the brain that allows abstract reasoning, using working memory that is constantly updated. This kind of memory, the ability to concentrate, seems to be impaired when exposed to mild stresses”, she said. |

Try Eye- Palming
Simply put your palms directly over your eyes shutting out all light. Try to see the color black. You may see other colors or images but focus on the color black.
Continue for two or three minutes just thinking and focusing on black. Then slowly lower your hands and gradually open your eyes.
It is a simple technique that can be done at home or work and offers a quick way to relieve the stress and tension of the day! |

Download The Golden Box MP3 today
I wanted to thank you for the CD – The Golden Box.
The first time I listened to this CD, I got chills. It really took me to a nice, relaxing place in my mind, a place I don’t get to go often enough. But, when it got to the part that I saw the person that I know coming towards me and I looked through their physical eyes into their soul, it really touched me. I even get chills thinking about that as I write this. I haven’t quite seen what is in the box yet, but I know several positive things have happened to me since listening to the CD. I continue to listen to it daily as it helps me get to the place I can look for answers to some of the questions I have.
