Antidote to Stress

Discover meditation as the antidote to stress.

​

Meditation is now being considered the modern day ‘Antidote to Stress’ and stress is one of the main concerns in heart and stroke patients from a post and preventative perspective.  Unlike a number of years ago the benefits of meditation in combating stroke, heart disease or diabetes are now scientifically proven.

 

‘Fight or flight’ is a physiological response in the body as a result of feeling threatened which can include increases in heart rate, blood pressure, breathing tempo, sweating, a release of stress hormones, a weakening of the immunity system and excessive clotting of blood platelets. In the modern day this occurs when we experience stress which the body recognises as a threat. Stress itself is caused by any blocks we encounter to fulfilling our desires and is not a physical threat but more a psychological or emotional challenge. As a result the physiological responses by the body is not an appropriate response and over time has adverse effects on our body.

​

A simple explanation of the benefits of meditation that most people today can relate to is the body’s fight/flight response to stress. The current demands of the modern world result in stress which the body perceives as a threat which affects a physiological response as set out below;
 

  • Heart beats faster/pumps more blood

  • Blood pressure rises

  • Consume more oxygen and expel more carbon dioxide

  • Perspiration increases

  • Adrenal glands pumps out adrenaline, noradrenaline, and cortisol

"I have just completed Ronan’s The Antidote to Stress course (Primordial Sound Meditation). I really enjoyed the course. He delivered it with such passion and clarity. He made it very easy to understand and explained everything in detail. I really enjoyed his humor, and he answered any questions with ease and understanding. He had a fabulous energy and made me feel very welcome to the course. The meditation technique itself I love and will continue to do it every day."
