Beyond Stress: Two Day

This workshop is a small group process to successfully transfer a basic self-regulatory skill to unwind from stress, tension and pressure on command.

On the first day, Eli provides a compelling perspective on how accelerating change and stress can negatively impact each of us individually and organizationally and offers a scientifically proven strategy which everyone can immediately begin to use to keep their personal stress levels optimal and healthy.

After the "why" and the "how" are explained in the first morning, the next several hours are spent progressively releasing physical, mental and emotional stress in a gentle, unthreatening manner through controlled breathing, light physical exercises and deep muscle relaxation. Many will experience their best night's sleep in years that evening.

The second day is devoted to learning, practicing and experiencing several hours of relaxation exercises in a process crafted to progressively release tension.

After several modules of deep relaxation over two days, what emerges is an implanted memory of deep physical, mental and emotional rest and recuperation that becomes benchmarked and increasingly easier to achieve with each successive experience.

A major component of the two days is to emphasize that relaxation techniques work quickly but the ability to skilfully self-regulate the body, mind and emotions -- anywhere and anytime -- takes daily regular practice for only a few weeks.

All participants receive instructional audio tapes or CDs in which Eli electronically comes home with them to support the ongoing training process until a basic skill emerges.

They are encouraged to practice the several techniques taught to them (with and without CDs/tapes) for four weeks as laid out in the included Beyond Stress Workbook.

If the proscribed structure of practice is followed, the ability to quickly, confidently and most importantly, effectively, release excess stress at will, will be achieved by almost everyone.

Participants float out of the two days feeling awesomely rested and rejuvenated, fully empowered and motivated to use the tools learned to develop high level inner control and self-mastery over their body, mind and emotions.
