Ground Yourself in 3 minutes - Anxiety and Stress Relievers you can do Anywhere

The following is a HOSTED article written by a creditable author on Yoga, wholeness, and energy. Her name is Gurutej Khalsa and she is known as the Energy Guru to high-ranking executives, Hollywood celebs, and people of all walks of life.

Anxiety robs us blind. It steals the essence of us which is even beyond happiness, it is contentment. We actually have a birthright and it is not the A word or the F word but the H word, happiness. How many truly happy people do you know? What makes them happy? Have you studied what they do and why they do what they do? I have?

These days anxiety and depression are acceptable twin fates. They are flip sides of each other. It is not what to do with these creepy friends we have brought home it is looking at ways to live differently. Release them get new friends

I have spent the last 40 years living very differently than most and I want to share some things I have learned in that life study. Practice does indeed make habits. If your habits are not serving you well it's time to get some new ones and there is no new habit store, so you will have to develop them.

Our breath and our capacity to create uplifting sounds (chants, prayers) are two of the fastest ways I know to shift your energy and align with the essence of you. Combine those with some motion and we get to take our bodies with us. Yeah, body and soul connected the right way! This is the Aquarian age and the body has to come too. The Aquarian age is I know, not the other way around. That was the last age, the Piscean one. So knowing means you have to experience it. I want to give you an experience right now.

Try the following to become more grounded, more relaxed and all in all much more connect to you:

Exercise 1: Cheer for the Self - Empower yourself; be your own cheerleader

• Standing on tiptoes, extend the arms up above the shoulders with hands and eyes wide open. Say "SA". Next, squat down swinging the arms down and back with eyes and hands closed. Say "TA".
• Then, stand, with eyes and hands open, swing arms to cross in front of chest. Say "NA".
• Stay standing tall and swing bent arms back on your side with closed hands and eyes. Say "MA".
• Repeat the cycle.

Duration: Only 2-3 minutes

Gift - Strengthens your magnetic field. Helps reinstates power in who you truly are.

This one is great too and you can do this one in your car at your desk, lots of places. Share this with everyone.

Exercise 2: Four Part Breath: Miracle Breath
Break up with overwhelming feelings [Blow your stress away!]

Sit up straight, inhale through the mouth, fill your lungs in four equal parts--start the breath as low as possible in the abdomen. Exhale through the mouth in four equal parts, from the upper chest down. If you feel relaxed you can do this exercise breathing through the nose. Repeat the cycle.

Duration: Only 1-3 minutes

Gift - Instantly reduces stress, so you may see a situation more objectively. Helps dissolve overwhelming feelings.

Exercise 3: Lasso Pose - The energy wrangler

Sit up straight, make fists with your thumbs tucked inside. Move arms wildly overhead in backward circles. All the while, relax shoulders and engage the core to power the arms. Breathe!

Duration: Only 1-2 minutes

Gift - Creates greater clarity and helps being more receptive. Increases heart rate; very energizing.

Anxiety is all about separation because fear is about separation. Soul is about knowing the known and the unknown. Choose early, choose often which one you want -connection and hope or fear and aloneness. All one or alone each minute is a choice. These exercises help you in those moment-to-moment decisions. Choose your soul; choose the god in each moment. "If you can't see God in all, you can't see God at all." What do you truly want to see? Clear the two eyes and look through your third eye. See the unseen and then all the anxiety will look silly to you and you can relax and be you.
