Our modern world is full of stressors. Even positive things, like vacations or changing jobs, can raise cortisol levels with damaging impacts if those chemicals remain in the body and accumulate over time. Learning how to effectively release stress from the body has never been more important for overall health and well-being.
While stressors are an inevitable part of our lives, there are many ways to productively transmute that energy so we can face our emotions from a calm place of neutrality and authentic power.
We meticulously curated this course to provide simple tools that you can easily and instinctively access during moments of stress.
In this guide, you will learn how to:
- Connect with your body's feelings to identify stressors and manage all your relationships from a place of empowerment and alignment.
- Expand the space between yourself and a stressful situation with a diaphragmatic breathing technique that allows the body to feel safe.
- Shift your chemical responses to stress and boost your confidence with the victory pose or shamanic shaking medicine.
- Amplify the power of the heart and release stress from the body with a heart-brain coherence meditation.
- Reprogram old thoughts that create stress and write new stories through novel neural pathways in the brain.
- Empower your belief systems to change your epigenetic expression of stress through positive self-talk.
- Elevate your perspective of stressful situations and find a focal point for gratitude that frees you from the bonds of anger, resentment, and fear.
Recommendations:
- Nurture yourself by practicing your favorite technique at least 21 times to make it a habitual response you can easily access during moments of stress.
- Challenge yourself to practice your least favorite technique to build a more flexible response system to stress.
- Listen to these meditations and talks while your brain is occupied with other tasks, such as dishes or laundry, so your subconscious mind can absorb the information.
Connect with your feelings and body sensations to identify stressors and manage all your relationships from a place of empowerment and alignment.
In preparation for the Emersion Conference, Regina Meredith, host of Open Minds, tuned into her spirit team and was led to share this guided meditation for conscious relationships. Everything from work and hobbies to food and sleep is a relationship, and the body knows exactly and precisely how each relationship impacts it. When we learn how to tune in to the body’s wisdom, we can be more discerning about how we relate to every aspect of our lives.
Find a quiet place to practice this meditation and get curious about what feelings come up to be acknowledged. This is priceless information you can use to effectively manage all your activities and prioritize the ones most aligned with you.

Science has proven that an extended exhalation of the breath is the key to turning off the fight-or-flight response in the sympathetic nervous system. When we breathe deeply, filling the entire diaphragm and slowly releasing that breath, it lets the body know it is safe to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which relaxes the body.

Align your focus, breath, and emotions into a state of coherence, empowering you to navigate daily stress more effectively and co-create a reality that's in harmony with your desires.
Gregg Branden is a five-time New York Times bestselling author, scientist, and pioneer in the emerging paradigm bridging science, social policy, and human potential. His original research resulted in the 2003 discovery of intelligent information encoded into the human genome and the 2010 application of fractal time to predict future occurrences of past events. He explains that slowing your breath can initiate healing and rejuvenation.
This practice sets the stage for heart and brain harmony, known as coherence. It takes just three minutes to anchor into this state, and you can practice it anywhere.
Learn to craft a new narrative for self-directed neuroplasticity, which will help form new neural networks and bring you into a parasympathetic state.
