Our North American culture is based around working long hours, earning big money and then a lifestyle to show for it. If you don’t take breaks and vacations your martyrdom is usually celebrated and honored in some weird way, but who does that really benefit? Likely not you. In fact it may decrease your productivity, affect your personal life and quite possibly your health. Here are some ideas to ditch over working and prevent the need for relaxation techniques for anxiety.
- Boundaries – many of us don’t have them, but I highly recommend that you get them.
- Get enough sleep. We often don’t even realize how our work and bodies can suffer from a lack of sleep. If you are feeling a little crazy take a nap and wake up with a new perspective.

- Eat good food – real food is best. What is real food? The stuff that goes bad and can’t exist in a packages for months and months. Vegetables are number one, fruits in season, whole grains that are not processed and meats from animals that moved.

- Lastly, listen to your body and internal voice. It can take a while to get accustomed to listening to this over your mind by you can help the process through quantum mind power or meditation.

Woodstock Percussion ZENERGY2 Zenergy Meditation Chime Percussion Instrument
- Handcrafted two-tone chime heightens sensory awareness
- 2 aluminum rods on a wooden base
- Precision tuned to pulse for meditation
- Includes rubber-tipped wooden striking mallet
- Also includes listening exercises
Two rods, tuned to almost the same pitch, produce a fascinating pulse known as “beating”. Can be used as an aid to meditation and heightening sensory awareness.Tibetan monks signal the beginning and end of a meditation period with small cymbals. This chime can be used for the same purpose. The two polished aluminum rods are precision tuned to almost, but not quite, the same pitch. When struck simultaneously, the rods begin ringing with a pulsating beat, which helps heighten and focus awareness. The rods are fastened to a smooth, cherry-finished hardwood base that measures 7-1/2 inches long, small enough to keep on a meditation table or by the bed. A rubber-tipped mallet and listening exercises are included. Musician Gary Kvistad founded Woodstock Chimes in 1979, and today the family-owned company produces a wide range of handcrafted, precision-tuned chimes. A one-year warranty covers the chime against defects, and all tuned Woodstock Chimes come with a lifetime tuning guarantee. –Ann
