 How'd your holidays go? Did you plan ahead enough to get all the rest and restoration possible in a holiday vacation? Did you get good, quality family time or did it just add to the stress of the holiday season? I hope you didn't get caught in any pre-holiday shopping mall stampede- those will shoot up anyone's blood pressure. Hopefully you didn't cave at the sight of mini cheesecake bites and chocolate cookies like yours truly did. Well, either way that's all behind us (and maybe the behind's a little bigger) and on to a new year. New possibilities, new hopes, new plans. New opportunities to rise above challenges and make the most of the year, the most of our life. At the center of my stress reduction protocols are biofeedback and other HeartMath techniques. Here's a simple technique (though it might not easy in the midst of high stress) to build yourself up with positive energy in order to face the challenges with more poise, resilience and positive demeanor. Tool: Inner Ease™ Technique  Bring this feeling to your daily commute, and while interacting with clients, co-workers, the boss and family. This technique can be done anywhere, at any time. It cuts right through stress and allows for a whole variety of responses besides just "freak out mode." Here's a short video by Howard Martin, one of the founders of HeartMath, explaining its use in the workplace for managing expectations either brought on by yourself or others. Here's to a peaceful, stress-free 2013. If you'd like more tools and support in overcoming stress, I'm only a phone call away. To your good health,

 Do you deal with stress, anxiety and tension in your body day in and day out? Many do. Some are able to not let stressful events, people and situation get to them, but most of us end up feeling emotionally drained at the end of a work day. Several years ago I was introduced to HeartMath, a type of biofeedback which teaches users to reconnect with their body and emotions through use of heart rate patterns. The effects are usually immediate and profound. Simple techniques are learned and practiced for as little as a minute or two a day. Doing this allows for reintegration of the underlying physiology of the cardiovascular, endocrine and nervous system. It balances you from the ground up. And living from a place of balance is what we could all use a little more of. 
Go from feeling like this....
Some of the many health and emotional issues which can be addressed at their foundation by HeartMath: hypertension, stress/anxiety, depression, pain management, anger and emotional volatility, fatigue or feeling burned out, assistance in optimal weight management, better immune system response, and moving beyond a sense of overwhelm and inability to time manage. 
...to this.
Look for our announcements later the month as we will soon begin offering HeartMath training sessions, either as part of an office visit with Dr. Angela, or as a stand alone appointment. A short series of training is recommended, with daily practice done between weekly appointments. We are excited to be offering this simple, easy tool which addresses some of the most hidden and hard to treat illnesses. After seeing the profound effects using HeartMath on patients and myself, I can't wait to being HeartMath sessions here at Rose City Health Clinic. To your good health,
