Stress Management
through Mind-body Awarenss
 with Joe Fiala, Ph.D.

Stress is the primary cause of sickness both physical and mental.

In its helpful form, stress is the way our bodies prepare us to handle life- it prepares us to act. By its nature, stress arises then fades away. Unfortunately placing ourselves under continuous stress can lead to an increase in our stress levels. Stress is a combination of bodily reaction and mental. Fun things as well as challenges cause stress. Ever returned from a vacation saying you need a vacation to recover?

Dealing with stress requires awareness and effort. Simple techniques such as body exercises, breathing techniques and mindfulness can be used on the spot to counter or reduce stress. Not only does this feel better, but you can perform better since your mind and body have more energy and resources available. Stress zaps our energy, causes us to lose focus and causes us to close down so it is harder to perform our best. Stress can become a chronic reaction to life so that we are always suffering the mental and physical effects even when stressors are not present.

In this series of classes, we will explore the causes of stress and learn simple ways of working with our body, breath and mind to manage our reaction to stressors. If we can recognize our stress and reduce it, we can positively affect the health of our mind and body.

Please dress comfortably and bring a blanket or mat as we will do some floor exercises.


5-week Class on Wednesdays 6:30-7:45 p.m., beginning November 18th and running through December 16th. $125.

Here's what our patients have to say...

TOTAL HEALTH: "My overall health has improved so much since coming to The Light Clinic. It is so nice to have people who listen to your health needs and work with you to explore and treat your conditions. More and more I consider them my primary health care."
AMAZING, PROFESSIONAL & KIND: "This was my first experience at The Light Clinic and also meeting Joseph for the first time. I feel so utterly blessed to have found Joseph and his "healing hands". He was professional and knowledgeable, while being personable and gentle. He explained everything in detail, so my comfort level was at an all-time high. Thank you Joseph and thank you Light Clinic!"
GREAT OPTION FOR ALTERNATIVE HEALTHCARE: "Love the whole body approach at the Light Clinic! Have had several treatments and very pleased.You will enjoy the healing atmosphere and the personal attention you receive from these practitioners. "Discovered" them from rave reviews from our own patients. So glad we did! Thank you!"
ALWAYS THE BEST: "My time with Mary Frank Slaughter is always so comforting. I am assured of her expertise and loving care. She'll find things before my doctor does and it always surprises him when he tells me something and I tell him my CranioSacral Therapist told me the same thing. The entire staff is also like this. Do yourself a favor - go see them."
