Stress Reduction Resources

Stress reduction is vital to overcoming chronic illness and, with the added stress of a global pandemic, we want to share with you some resources for extra support.

Here are some of my favorites:

Quick and simple

• Calm app’s breathing exercise
• Soak up the sun and go for a walk to boost your immune system and mental health
• Simple exercises like legs up a wall
• Create a gratitude journal

More involved, but good for short and long term stress reduction

• Dr. Joe Dispenza’s meditations
• Dr. Cathleen King is a former patient of our Portland clinic who has really affordable and useful online classes that support healing through brain retraining, Vagus nerve exercises, and energy work. Found here.
• Introduction to meditation and breathwork with another patient and fellow chronic illness warrior Erin Yakunich on Instagram or Facebook
• Stanley Rosenburg’s Vagus Nerve exercises
• Limbic retraining program DNRS

Best,
