Meditation
Mindful Meditation (Vipassana) has been proven to be affective in reducing stress levels. Research from major universities and medical facilities has shown lower anxiety and strengthening of positive emotions in people who practice Mindful Meditation. The University of Wisconsin-Madison found increase activity on the left-side of frontal region of the brain. It is believed that this activity is what controls anxiety and stress levels. Though there is still much more studying on meditation to be done, the research looks encouraging. My techniques combine mindful Vipassana meditation and nature to reduce stress anxiety. I work in the Santa Cruz and San Francisco Bay Area.
