We need to start looking at stress as a reflection of the way we live, not as some kind of modern malady that needs to be treated or alleviated with outside treatments. Stress is taking a toll on us because we have been engulfed in the wheels of progress and have completely ignored what we are, the purpose of our lives and the core of values that are intrinsic to all human beings. 

We need to reestablish the link to our inner values, regain control, define our priorities and then, and only then, use the endless opportunities around us to create fulfilled and balanced lives.

For a course on stress management to be effective it has to address the following issues:

• Understanding of stress and the causes that may lead to it
• Awareness on our lifestyle and our role in society
• Identification of our purpose in life
• Simple, concrete solutions for living in harmony
• Strengthening of the nervous and immune systems through a program of mental and physical activities
• Relaxation techniques that clear the mind and de-stress the body
• A follow-up program that gives continuity and support to the original course

Inspired by both ancient practices and modern techniques, we have developed a comprehensive program aimed, not only at creating strong nervous and immune systems but also at raising awareness on the causes of our present condition and the meaning of our lives. Our comprehensive approach makes use of:

• Awareness seminars to connect to our inner values and identify stress boosters and destructive patterns and learn how to get rid of them
• Meditation sessions to clear the mind
• Breathing techniques and stretching classes to tone and heal the body
• Deep relaxation techniques to regenerate cells and tissues
• Yoga classes to bring balance and peace of mind

It is important to stress out that our programs are not temporary patch-ups but long-lasting solutions that will remain with you for the rest of your life. They are not do-it-yourself programs either as we believe we need discipline and some guidance when we begin any work on ourselves. But they do need your sincere commitment and collaboration. Our program works as long as you work. Don’t be fooled by any empty promises, the truth is you have to do something if you wish to achieve permanent results. Any work made on you might be effective but only temporarily. Any work you do will translate in fruitful, permanent results based on your efforts and level of commitment.
