• Each year in the United Kingdom 9 million days are lost to stress (for further information, please read the summary of the HSE report H.S.E. Stress-related and psychological disorders).
• Stress related claims have risen 83% since 1983. (H.S.E.)
• Employee stress is the main emerging risk for UK organisations. (The Association of Insurance and Risk Managers)
• Around one in five workers are suffering from high levels of work related stress at any one time (H.S.E.)
• Back pain and work related stress are the two most common causes of absenteeism (C.B.I. absenteeism survey).

Our Stress Management & Release courses are based on the use of Chinese Qigong (Chi Kung) breathing techniques that have the effect of altering the brainwave pattern from beta wave to alpha wave. As the brainwaves enter alpha rhythm, stress is reduced, the immune system is strengthened, and the creative mind has the opportunity to switch on. It is rather like bio-feedback but without all the electronic apparatus, and, with practice, the changes in the body/mind that occur during the exercises become more tangible and it becomes much easier to attain this level of calmness, alertness, and creativity.
