U a Page 6 Times -Advocate, November 20, 1996 The soothing effects of stress managment This is an extended series featuring various each Wednesday at the Exeter Town Hall. By Brenda Burke TA Reporter EXETER - "It's amazing what your mind can do," said Grand Bend Neuro Linguistic Programming Practitioner Ruth Cooper during last Wednesday's health session, As part of her stress management presentation, Cooper discussed and demonstrated NLP techniques, which are based on modeling effective communication patterns. This "self -growth tool" works on the principle that the mind is a powerful source of personal change. She demonstrated pain and tension control using NLP. Based on the premise that the body and mind are connected, change and healing are constant and emotional responses have beginnings, middles and ends, Cooper instructed a participant to sit with her eyes closed and focus her attention on a tight or painful body area. By feeling the tension as an emotion and intensifying it, then releasing it after it had run its course, and becoming aware of body changes, the woman was able to ease her stiff neck. Cooper's seminar included participants completing quizzes to assess their stress levels. Questions centred around nutrition, sleep, exercise, relaxation and emotions. The Holmes -Rahe Life Stress Inventory calls for a listing of life events that have occurred during the past year. A low score indicates a low susceptibility to stress-induced health breakdown whereas a higher score raises the odds of experiencing a major health breakdown in the next two years. High score and therefore high stress life health topics as they are presented events included dealing with death, marital break-up, major illness or injury, marriage and detention in an institution. Cooper suggested stress management coping strategies such as avoiding stressful situations, changing negative self -talk and mental images to positive ones, and becoming aware of the body and its messages. She recommended lots of deep breathing, sleep, water and relaxation. As well, she encouraged people to express their emotions, take time out and develop a sense of humor. "Laugh as much as you can. Take life lightly," advised Cooper, who ended the session with a group meditation. Tonight's 7 to 9 p.m. health session at the Exeter Town Hall involves a presentation on holistic health by Jacinta Willems and Michael Rayner.
