What is anxiety? Anxiety is a general term for several disorders that cause nervousness, fear, apprehension, and worrying. These disorders affect how we feel and behave, and they can manifest real physical symptoms. Generally speaking, anxiety is the symptom of stress, they go hand in hand. Anxiety can wreak havoc on your nervous system and have a major impact on a person's quality of life.

We all experience anxiety from time to time especially when confronting something new or challenging such as public speaking, recital, an exam or confronting a problem. This is considered normal and is part of the "fight or flight" response our body produces in order to protect us. However, chronic worrying, blame, guilt and fear can exasperate anxiety and cause it to become a chronic symptom. 

If you have an interest in universal laws, and I'm going to assume you do if you're on a law of attraction blog, you might have heard of the law of polarity. The law of polarity states that everything has an opposite. So in other words ,the opposite of a question is an answer, if there is a front, there must be a back, if there is an up, there is a down, if it's 1,500 miles from Florida to NY then it's 1,500 miles from NY to Florida. With that being said, if our bodies produce a natural response to stress and anxiety called the "fight or flight" stress response what would be the opposite of the "fight or flight" response? Wouldn't it make sense for our mind and body to want to be in the opposite of a response to stress and anxiety? Of course it does. And if you knew what it was it would be so simple to alleviate the stress response and "feel good" all the time (our natural state of being). No addictive anti anxiety meds to take every day for the rest of your life. No dealing with the side effects that come along with prescription drugs. So what is it? Ok, here it is. It's called the "relaxation response". The relaxation response is a physical state of deep rest or relaxation that changes the physical and emotional response to stress and is the opposite of the fight or flight response.

How do you trigger the relaxation response and how long will it take? What if I told you it would take just 15 minutes for a beginner and far less than that once you practice it a few times? Sound good? And to make things even better, the relaxation response is even easier to trigger with kava kava and when triggered with kava kava the relief you experience will feel euphoric. If you have anxiety this must be music to your ears. It was for me and it will be for you. It's the foundation of Kava-Traction and my new product will show you just how to do this and will eliminate stress and anxiety and improve your quality of life.

Tomorrow I will be posting an exercise you can try at home that will easily trigger the relaxation response and will give you a taste of the relief you can expect to experience. This exercise is part of my new meditation product so you will be getting a sneak peak of what you can expect. My new product will be released on CD and will be sold with the best premium quality kava in the world. Enjoy your Saturday and be sure to check back tomorrow.

The question I am asked most is, what is kava kava? Kava kava is from the root of the pepper plant called piper methysticum. The root of the plant is harvested and ground into a fine powder and served in a number of different ways. The traditional method of consuming kava is by mixing with water and serving chilled with your favorite chaser. My personal favorite for chasing the slightly bitter taste is pineapple. There is no need to worry as these days kava kava comes in the form of instant kava (actually tastes good) as well as tinctures, pastes and a variety of other forms. Kava kava is an all natural herb mainly found in the south pacific islands of Fiji. Kava kava has been consumed for over 3,000 years and is now gaining popularity as an anti anxiety & stress reliever in the west as well as other parts of the world. Kava kava has many other benefits in addition to being used to relieve stress and anxiety and the fact that kava is non addictive, has a reverse tolerance and is safe without the laundry list of side effects that pharmaceuticals typically have (just watch one of the commercials).

Many people tell me that they get frustrated with meditation because they can't seem to stay focused long enough to experience the benefits of meditation. So in turn they abandon meditation all together claiming it's not for them. Unfortunately, that just gives more energy to the stress and anxiety they are experiencing.

Well throw that thinking out the window because if your reading this article you have attracted the solution that will take your meditation to a new level. Kava Kava is an "all natural" anti-anxiety, stress relieving herb that will put your mind and body in a relaxed state that will allow you to quiet your mind while meditating. 

There is no greater advantage that you could offer your mind and body than properly breathing during mediation to release the resistance that is causing you to feel not at ease or dis-ease which is what stress and anxiety are causing you to feel. Kava Kava on it's own will significantly reduce or eliminate stress and anxiety among many other things, however, if you are looking to take your life to a whole new level and experience well being each and every day then combining kava with your daily meditation will have a profound affect on your current belief system. A belief is simply a thought that is practiced long enough that it becomes your belief. Often times people develop a pattern of thought that holds them steadily in a state of negative emotion and even though they grow accustomed to the feelings of anger, guilt, blame and fear the chronic negative emotions indicate a strong pattern of resistant thought that is holding them from the natural state of well being. 

Meditation, when done properly, will disempower the pattern of negative thinking through breathing. The focus on your breathing will quiet your thoughts and breathing itself will release the resistance that is causing you to feel stress and anxiety. The combination of Kava with your meditation will enhance your meditation and you will experience rapid improvement in the way you feel and when your feeling good the law of attraction will attract better feeling thoughts, circumstances and events that will seem as if they are magical.  These are the principles that Kava-Traction was founded on and they have changed my life and my life coaching clients are calling me every day thanking me for introducing them to these techniques.
