We came across this story about a snake attacking a saw and thought we’d share this profound lesson with our followers.

Apparently this snake was cut by the sharp edge of a saw as it passed by. Thinking that the saw intended to harm it, the snake attacked the saw and tried to squeeze the life out of it. The more it squeezed, the more pain it felt. The more pain it felt, the harder it squeezed. Until the snake was cut so deeply that it died a painful and utterly pointless death.
Sometimes we feel hurt and resentment and anger because of things that have happened to us or been done to us by others. We often make the worst assumptions about why these things happened, believing that we are the victims of cruel intentions.
Often we are wrong.
The first lesson here is that it is the assumptions we make that are often the cause of our deepest anxieties and tension. Reflect on this for a moment. What hurt or resentment are you carrying right now and what assumptions have you made around why and how that hurt came about? Is it possible that, if you experienced the situation from a more confident and self-assured position, you wouldn’t be so sensitive or judgemental about the motives of others? Are you honest enough with yourself to consider your own responsibility and contribution to the situation? Do you have enough compassion and empathy to achieve any understanding of why and how others behave or act in the way they do…before immediately assuming the worst about their characters and intent?

The second lesson is that carrying anger and resentment not only negatively impacts our behaviour and reactions to the world around us but is also very toxic to our health. If we are unable to process certain events and situations in a healthy way, we become incapable of letting things go and focusing on being the best that we can be. Carrying negative, destructive emotions towards others goes hand in hand with low self-esteem, anxiety and fear- a toxic mix that causes chronic tension in the body and mind and ultimately makes us sick.
Today, focus on letting go of destructive emotions. Start looking at life through a lens of strength and confidence and refocus your attention on who YOU are and who YOU want to be. We can’t control the actions and behaviour of others. We can’t assume to know why people say or do the things they do but we can be more aware of how we make others feel and how we feel about ourselves.

Why is Body Stress Release the perfect gift this Christmas?
Below is a brief overview of the wonderful, life-enhancing benefits of Body Stress Release:
When the body is exposed to an overload of emotional/physical/chemical stress, tension becomes locked into the body’s physical structures causing pain, numbness, weakness, stiffness, headaches, fatigue, fibromyalgia, dizziness, restlessness, period pain, sexual dysfunction, as well as impaired functioning of organs, bodily systems and your immune response, to name but a few!!
Body Stress Release is a gentle and highly effective health technique, developed in the 1980’s and now practiced worldwide. Suitable for all ages, this technique is designed to release stored tension in the body, activating a process that restores and enhances the body’s natural ability to heal itself…and brings much needed calm and tranquility to your mind and body!

How does it work?
The client lies down fully clothed on a specialised bed and the practitioner carries out a series of light directional pressure tests to locate the exact sites of body stress.
Once the sites of stress have been mapped out, the practitioner performs a series of releases. This is done with a thumb or finger with a slight pressure or impulse. This initiates an organised sequence of messages to the brain, alerting it to the stored tension and encouraging the body’s self-healing response.

Read full post for a better understanding of the link between chronic stress and immune dysfunction, and how best to approach this critical concern in light of the fears around Covid-19.

The global community has been rocked by a wave of fear and paranoia in response to the Coronavirus. Don’t be swept up in the panic. Instead, employ a rational and positive mindset and focus on what is in your control.

Your health is in your control.
Your attitude is in your control.

There has never been a more appropriate time to filter out the anxious noise of the world around you and turn your attention inwards… with focus on strengthening your own ultimate line of defense- your magnificent immune system.

At Transform Stress Clinic, we employ the incredibly effective Body Stress Release technique to release tension from the body and activate the body’s sophisticated ability to self-heal. We do this not only to successfully address chronic and acute pain, but also to support optimal functioning of bodily systems and processes, including the immune system.

Lance Simpson, Director and Body Stress Release practitioner at Transform Stress Clinic, has a special interest in the relationship between stress and the immune system and has the following to say on the topic of Corona and the importance of maintaining a healthy body and mind:

Every day there seems to be a new barrage of theories, conspiracies, opinions and predictions around the Corona threat. It is not my intent to downplay the threat or the efforts to curb the spread thereof. My concern is that an unnecessary atmosphere of panic and tension is being created due to fear-mongering and it seems that drama has become the new currency for many who seem to relish and encourage anxiety. Fear and misinformation is spreading faster than the virus and based on how people are responding, we seem to have lost faith in the wisdom of our bodies and that in itself is a greater threat to our wellbeing than Covid-19. My advice to family, clients and friends is to socially distance yourself from sensationalism and focus on 3 practical areas that are in your control:
1- Take the necessary precautions and follow the necessary guidelines. Not out of fear, but because they are practical to avoid the spread of the virus into vulnerable sections of the community.
2- Introduce healthy disciplines into your day- Eat well, sleep well and take time to connect with those around you and, most importantly with yourself. This is an excellent opportunity for introspection and reintroducing creativity and passion.
3- Identify the areas of your life that are causing unhealthy levels of stress and assess how these stressors are affecting you physically, mentally and behaviourally. Be cognisant of the fact that long term stress is detrimental to the functioning of your body and has a debilitating impact on your immune system. Addressing stress related fatigue and bodily tension may be the best way to boost your defences, and let me tell you why:

The body’s short-term reaction to stress is the "fight-or-flight" response which activates the sympathetic nervous system and causes a release of adrenaline. Longer-term stress activates the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis which causes cortisol to be released. Cortisol has similar effects to adrenaline in the body, but remains in blood for a longer period of time. Stress significantly suppresses the immune system, shifting the immune response away from the Th1 response that fights viral infections, and towards the Th2 response which is responsible for fighting bacterial infections (and which also causes allergic reactions). Both the main stress hormones- cortisol and adrenaline are also significant immune system modulators, as is the sympathetic nervous system. Long-term stress causes a number of changes within the central nervous system in order to maintain appropriate levels of cortisol. What seems to happen is that the brain reduces its HPA axis activation after enduring prolonged periods of stress. This results in a reduced ability to handle stress and in extreme cases results in illnesses such as chronic fatigue syndrome. As well as providing the body with energy and vitality, the HPA axis also modulates the immune system, autonomic nervous system and digestive system, so a reduced or dysfunctional HPA axis activation will result in abnormal immune system activation, increased inflammation and allergic reactions, IBS symptoms, as well as a reduced tolerance to physical and mental stresses.

With the Coronavirus sparking widespread fear and panic across the globe over the last few weeks, now is the time to ensure that your body is best equipped to defend itself against the threat of illness. It is critical to now focus on strengthening your immune system in order to optimize the body’s response to infection. It is also important to recognize that it is not just age and underlying conditions that increase the risk of serious illness or even death. Anyone with a compromised immune system is potentially at very high risk, and therefore people who have been experiencing stress-overload need to be aware that chronic stress significantly limits your body’s immune response to viral infections such as the Coronavirus.
Consider booking a Body Stress Release appointment at Transform Stress Clinic to address tension overload, and to restore healthy communication and functioning of the body and its immune system. It may be your best line of defense against illness.

NB: Strict hygiene protocols are adhered to and all precautions are taken at our Body stress Release practice to minimize any risk to our clients.

Are you living a life that is full of meaning, joy and fulfillment? Looking at how many people represent their lives on social media, it is sometimes hard not to compare ourselves to others who seem to have it all! It is natural and only human to do so. But is it healthy? Is it necessary? Is it even relevant? What we need to realize is that, between the highlights that we are all so eager to share with the world, is our everyday life… in other words- our real life. In our real lives, how many of us are just pretending to be happy and fulfilled? How many of us can only realize the value of our experiences when we share it with the world to see? How many of us are chasing short-term stimulation and hollow dreams to satisfy the expectations of others and to escape our own truth? Ultimately, your truth is the fire and passion that flows through your veins. It is what makes your heart beat loud and hard, fuels your spirit and feeds your soul. Living a life built around your true passion takes courage, and can be an uncomfortable concept for many, but there is no greater force than passion to manifest genuine abundance in your life. Embrace your passions and put energy and commitment behind them as they are there to guide you to living a life that is more than just moments of joy.

Chronic pain and chronic fatigue are conditions that remain poorly understood and poorly explained and can leave a person desperately searching for explanations and cures to getting their life back.
We encounter many people who have explored every avenue to find answers to why they feel the way they do. Overwhelmed by their unexplained pain and lack of energy, often despair sets in and a life full of potential becomes a prison of pain and negativity.
Sir Francis Bacon once said that knowledge is power. This is especially true when it comes to people suffering from debilitating conditions that have had a significantly negative impact on their lives but do not have a firm and logical explanation. It leaves a person feeling powerless, confused and increasingly anxious every day…and this perpetuates and enhances the negative psychophysiological cycle that so many individuals are trapped in
At Transform Stress Clinic, our aim is to assist people to understand and reverse this cycle as a first step towards self-healing. Our core philosophy is that the body has a miraculous wisdom which expresses our state of well-being in a way which most treatment models do not fully understand. This guides our approach to reminding our clients of their own responsibility in the self-healing process and is a key philosophy behind the incredibly effective and life-enhancing Body Stress Release technique that is employed to activate and restore the natural healing abilities of the body.

It is common for people to separate their emotional, mental and spiritual health from their physical health, but by doing so they disrespect the innate wisdom of the body to manifest and express our state of being. With an ever-increasing number of people suffering from poorly explained and misunderstood disorders such as auto-immune conditions and more common debilitating conditions such as fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome, the time has come to change our perspectives on current treatment models and move away from seeing the body as a purely mechanical entity. The truth is that the body is a miracle with an intelligence beyond our understanding. If we begin to move away from the default approach of trying to diagnose what is wrong with it and embrace the body’s ability to communicate and express our overall health, we take one step closer to achieving the healing that so many of us long for.
At Transform Stress Clinic, we employ the Body Stress Release technique which has helped thousands of people from around the world to experience significant and lasting healing. By restoring the body’s neural pathways and unlocking tension overload, the body’s intelligent self-healing mechanism can be activated and optimized.

Body Stress Release assists the body to unlock tension caused by emotional, mechanical or chemical stress. Most people understand the direct physiological impact of mechanical stress (Falls, accidents, strains and sprains etc.) and chemical stress (toxic exposure, inhalation, consumption), but are you aware of how emotional stress overload can impact the human body?
