Perelandra Health Watch 8
STRESS

• Stress Caused by Global Events Such as War, Terrorism and Catastrophic News
  
• Stress Caused by Personal Problems Such as Job, Marriage, Family and Housing

It's an especially stressful time these days. We're dealing with war, terrorism, a difficult economy, high unemployment and workplace downsizing. Our environment is constantly weakening and changing in ways that are detrimental to it and us. Add all of this to the stress that comes from simply living our daily lives and we've got a serious situation. Stress is directly linked to a weakening in our body's systems, especially our immune system. This leaves us vulnerable to every other illness and disease that might be floating around us. The goal of Health Watch 8 is to help us maintain strength and balance during times of stress so that we may make good decisions and act in constructive ways. It also helps us repair and balance physically and emotionally from the continuous strain of stress. This Health Watch doesn't magically remove the situation causing the stress. It gives us what we need to successfully address the situation with strength, calmness and grace.

ETS Plus

Essence of Perelandra

MBP Balancing Solutions

• Frequency: Twice daily — A.M. & P.M. Take these Solutions for the duration of the situation causing the stress, plus 2 months after the situation has ended.
• Setup: No testing or setup required
• MBP Balancing Solutions needed:
  • Immune System Balancing Solution
  • Lymphatic System Balancing Solution
  • Digestive System Balancing Solution
  • Endocrine System Balancing Solution
  • Nervous System Balancing Solution
  • Respiratory System Balancing Solution

The MBP Balancing Solutions strengthen the body's systems so that the body can actively withstand the impact of stress. The six MBP Balancing Solutions should be taken no matter which level you are on: Green, Maroon or Blue. Take the prescribed number of drops twice daily (first thing in the morning and at bedtime) for each Solution listed throughout the time you are under stress. Once you are no longer experiencing the situation(s) causing stress, take these six Solutions for an additional two months. They will continue to strengthen your body. In turn, your body will be better able to repair itself from any damage you have sustained resulting from the stress.

If any stress symptoms you might be experiencing persist once you are finished with the dosage as described above, continue taking these MBP Solutions until you are symptom free. Then take them for another two months to be sure your body has had the full opportunity it needs for healing itself.

If you are already taking any of the MBP Balancing Solutions on a daily basis, you may take the six Solutions needed for this work along with the ones you are already taking daily. To do this, you will need to set up for telegraphing the MBP Balancing Solutions. This is actually a simple setup and it ensures that the Solutions you take are fully effective for both your daily needs and specific situations such as stress. The information for setting up for telegraphing Solutions is included in the MBP Balancing Solutions Guide under 'Telegraph Testing for Specific Situations' (p. 37) and on our web site. You will not need to telegraph test the Solutions. This has already been done for you. However, you will need to set up properly when taking Solutions for more than one situation. The information for how to do this follows the word 'Important:' in step 5 of the telegraph testing process.

Eat Right 4 Your Type (D'Adamo)

• Frequency: Daily

For exceptional general body repair and strengthening, don't dismiss this diet. Your body is your best healing machine, if it has the right 'gas' it needs in order to function properly. In talking to others about this diet, I know people can get a little nervous when it comes to suggesting they change their diet. Many people have a heart connection to those corn chips and soda (or tofu and bean sprouts) and really do not want to give these things up — whether they are actually good for their body or not. However, you need to take into consideration that we are currently living in extremely stressful times, and we no longer have the luxury to indulge our love of the foods that aren't helpful to us. The D'Adamo blood-type diet is not a starvation diet by any means. The list for each blood type includes over 250 different foods and drink. What is listed as highly beneficial and neutral are the foods that repair, strengthen and feed our body. The diet eliminates the foods that we should avoid according to our blood type (the foods that weaken or cause adverse reactions in our body), if we wish to maintain the strength needed to deal with the pounding our body receives from the effects of stress. In short, the 'avoids' are counterproductive to our achieving and maintaining health. Here's what I suggest: Get the book Eat Right 4 Your Type by Peter D'Adamo, find out what your blood type is (if you don't already know), and try the diet that is listed for your blood type for one month. One lousy month. And promise yourself you won't cheat. Consider it an adventure. At the end of the month, evaluate the changes you see and feel in your health and then decide if this diet is worth the change for you. For your meals that trial month and for your meals throughout the time you are experiencing stress (if you choose to continue the diet), concentrate on the foods from the 'highly beneficial' list for the best and fastest strengthening and repair of your body. For general body strengthening in preparation for a potential problem, focus the diet on highly beneficial foods for the first six to eight months. Then add more of the foods from the 'neutral' list for maintaining the level of strength you've achieved as a result of the first six to eight months of repair and building. Dr. D'Adamo's books on the diet contain a wealth of information on how to achieve the best results for your blood type and your situation.

ETS Plus

• Frequency: 1 dose (10-12 drops) every 5 minutes for the first 20 minutes after suddenly being hit with a stressful situation or hearing bad news
• Setup: No testing or setup required

Taking ETS Plus will move you through the initial trauma you experience from suddenly being hit with a stressful situation or from the shock of receiving bad news. This includes anything from catastrophic global or national news to finding out a loved one has had an accident. And it includes the trauma resulting from injuring yourself — whether serious or small. ETS Plus greatly supports you during these traumatic and stressful times. Even if you think you are doing just fine after receiving a shock, take ETS Plus anyway. Your body has received a jolt from the sudden impact of the shock. ETS Plus is to be used during the first twenty minutes of a shock or trauma.

You might also try taking ETS Plus twice daily during periods of chronic stress (for some, this may be every day for many years). ETS Plus may reduce and even eliminate the effects of the stress on your body.

Essence of Perelandra Stress Break

If you're feeling frazzled or that the walls are closing in on you or that you'd just like to scream — Take an Essence of Perelandra Stress Break.

Take a quick shower first. Then fill your tub (with water!). Add 1/3 cup of Essence of Perelandra (EoP). Don't add soap, shampoo, bath oil, bubble bath or chicken gizzards to the EoP bath. It's just you and your EoP. Now lie back, relax and soak for 20 minutes. Don't rinse yourself off. Just pat yourself dry (with a towel!).

Repeat anytime you feel the world's walls start to close in on you. An EoP bath restores your sense of balance, gives you strength and helps you continue on with your life in a connected, calm and effective way.

MAROON LEVEL (Tools with a gentle learning curve)

MAP

• Frequency: Weekly for the duration of situation causing the stress, plus 2 months
• Setup: "This is a 'stress' session for cause of stress."

Have MAP sessions that are exclusively focused on the stress you are experiencing. Be sure to describe the situation causing the stress. Set up for these sessions by stating to your team: "This is a 'stress' session for cause of stress." Your team will work on the needed adjustments to strengthen and help repair your body from any stress damage. While they are working, talk to them about any concerns, thoughts, fears and actions you are facing around the issues causing the stress.

If any stress symptoms you might be experiencing persist once you are finished with the period described above for working with MAP, continue the weekly sessions until you no longer have any symptoms. Once symptom free, have stress-focused sessions for another two months (one session every two weeks) to be sure you have completely moved through any problems that were caused by the stress.

Essences — Basic Testing

• Frequency: Daily for the duration of the situation causing stress, plus 1 month
• Setup: No special focus needed

While under stress, it will be important to monitor the balance of your electric system by doing a basic essence test daily throughout the entire period you are experiencing stress and for an additional month after the situation has changed and you are no longer under stress. Because you are doing this test daily, you will not need to test for dosage (number of days essences are needed). Whatever essences are needed for more than one day will show up again in the test for the next day.

If any stress symptoms you might be experiencing persist once you are finished with the period for doing the basic essence test as described above, continue the daily essences testing until you no longer have any symptoms. Once symptom free, continue the daily testing for another month to be sure your electric system has repaired, balanced and stabilized.

Environment — Energy Cleansing Process

• Frequency: Weekly throughout the duration of the situation causing the stress
• Setup: No special focus needed

The Perelandra Energy Cleansing Process is an especially effective environmental tool to use when we are experiencing stress. In order to maintain equilibrium throughout the stressful time, it will be important to keep the environment around you balanced. This Process releases any of the energy swirling around you that could exacerbate the stress you are already under. (For the Energy Cleansing Process steps, see Perelandra Garden Workbook.)

BLUE LEVEL (Refinement learning curve for veterans of the Perelandra programs and products)

MAP/Calibration

• Frequency: Whenever needed as part of your stress-focused MAP sessions
• Setup: 'I want to set up for a MAP/Calibration for stress related to situation causing stress.'

Set up your MAP sessions as described in the Maroon Level information — once a week for the duration of the stress, plus two months. To this, add a regular MAP/Calibration as an option. Consider having a MAP/Calibration when you are feeling overwhelmed by the stress and sense you are stuck or spinning your wheels. If a calibration is needed, you'll either get a hunch that one is needed during a stress-focused MAP session or you can actually ask the question while in MAP ('Do I need a MAP/ Calibration?') and kinesiology test whether one is needed. The focus of this calibration is the concerns, fears, apprehensions, confusion and anger you have around whatever is causing the stress. The time needed will be the same as a regular MAP/Calibration session.

Essences — Regular Telegraph Testing

• Frequency: Once a week for the duration of the situation causing the stress, plus 1 month
• Setup: 'Essences telegraph testing for stress resulting from situation causing stress.'

As soon as you have been hit with a stressful situation, set up for a regular essences telegraph test (do not use the detailed Essences Telegraph Test Checklist) by focusing the test on the specific situation and the stress resulting from it. Remember to clear yourself with a basic essences test first. Then test the essences as you would any regular telegraph test. Also be sure to test for dosage—the number of times within that one-week period you are to take any needed essences. Discontinue taking the essences from the previous week's test once you do a new week's essences telegraph test and get the dosage for the new combination of essences needed. Continue this rhythm for the duration of the situation causing stress, plus one month.

If any stress symptoms you might be experiencing persist once you are finished with the period described above, continue the regular essences telegraph testing weekly until you no longer have any symptoms. Once symptom free, do a weekly telegraph test for another month to be sure your electric system has repaired, balanced and stabilized.

NOTE: Essences telegraph testing may be done in place of the essences basic test that is described in the Maroon Level section. Because of the detail included in the essences telegraph testing, you will receive stronger support with your essences work.
