STRESS REDUCTION CENTERS

These will be created for the purpose of providing an environment in which people can relax, promote their own self-growth, and determine their own methods for increasing their sense of well-being. It acknowledges the fact that we have created a high-stress society in which many individuals are suffering and dying from somatic disease because of long-term unreleased stress states. These centers will provide a friendly, feel-good environment that will draw people simply by providing a space where people feel loved and cared for, and where the prime consideration of staff is the well being of those being cared for. Depending upon the funding for the particular center, the facilities will range from simple to elaborate. Some of the features to be offered will include rentals of hot tubs, flotation tanks, therapeutic light-and-sound technologies for neural enhancement, plus services such as hypnotherapy, nutritional counseling, acupuncture, massage and other forms of bodywork. A medical doctor will either be on the premises or available nearby for consultations and diagnosis.
