How high are your STRESS levels ?

Two seeds lay side by side in the fertile spring soil. The first seed said, "I want to grow! I want to send my roots deep into the soil beneath me and thrust my sprouts through the earth's crust above me... I want to unfurl my tender buds like banners to herald the arrival of spring... I want to feel the warmth of the sun on my face and the blessing of the morning dew on my petals. And so she grew. The second seed said, " I donot know what I will encounter in the dark. If I push my way through the hard soil above me , I may damage my delicate sprouts.... what if my delicate buds open and a snail tries to eat them? And if I were to open my blossoms, a small child may pull me from the ground. No it is much better for me to wait " so she waited. A yard hen, scratching around in the early spring ground for food, found the waiting seed and promptly ate it.

There is a great truth hidden behind this simple zen story-" Those who refuse to grow, get swallowed up by life!" Will you too get swallowed up by stress in this corporate rat race? One of the main obstacles to personal and career growth is stress. Modern day life is full of stress and stress is one of the main reasons why many in the corporate rat race get swallowed up by life. A recent survey conducted among Indian managers revealed interesting results! Almost 70% of managers surveyed, were not even aware that they were under stress. Thus, the first step in stress management is to become aware that you are constantly under stress and this is hindering your professional and personal growth at an unconscious level. The first step instress management is to become aware of the fact that one is under stress and then effectively managing it employing ZeNLP techniques like Context-Reflex Meditation, Dynamic Meditation, Chakra Meditation, Yoga, Clapping Meditation, Sound Vibration and Shiatsu.

But the first step to Meditation begins with Awareness! Are you aware that you are constantly under stress? Getting your Stress levels diagnosed is as easy as filling up the enclosed stress level finder questionnaire and emailing to us at fenomenon@usa.net
