Inner Calm

Truly inspiring and practical suggestions for managing the effects of daily stress.

"Inner Calm" includes these 6 half-hour segments:

1. In this age of communication overload, hear our provocative profile of Ojai, California-based David Allen , the best-selling author who brilliantly helps us find ways out of the feeling of "overwhelm."

2. The main challenge to avoiding burnout and keeping relaxed, says David Allen, is to clear your head of unfinished business, and thus free up mental space to focus on the relationships and life experiences that matter most.

3. Using a unique blend of stand-up comedy and stress management advice, Loretta LaRoche cautions us not to "catastrophize" and "awfulize" especially when conditions are not all that extreme anyway.

4.This documentary examines voluntary simplicity , a lifestyle choice that is not about poverty or deprivation, but about an individual's discovering what is "enough" in their life - and discarding the rest.

5. This program, featuring Harvard Medical Professor Dr. Herbert Benson, MD, explains simple relaxation techniques to help you ease the effects of daily stress. Hear how patients have used these techniques to reduce chronic pain, insomnia, fatigue and other stress conditions. These practices can help you prevent high blood pressure, hardening of arteries, heart attack and stroke.

6. Stress in Schools- Often a high-stress zone for both teachers and parents, some schools have introduced formal training in medically based relaxation techniques aimed at calming nerves and enhancing performance.

These programs also appear in other volumes of our Humankind series, which are available as individual MP3 downloads.
