Eliminating Stress, Finding Inner Peace

by Brian L. Weiss

Eliminating Stress, Finding Inner Peace is an important step on the healing journey. Stress kills—there’s no doubt. It eats away at you, affecting your level of happiness, as well as your stomach lining. It raises your blood pressure and directly harms your cardiovascular system. It depresses your immune system and allows chronic illnesses to overwhelm you—causing pain, disability, and even death. Basically, stress prevents you from experiencing life’s many pleasures. Stress is a mental state that can cause severe negative emotional and physical consequences. It can be entirely eliminated, or at least greatly lessened, by adjusting our understanding and attitudes, and by learning simple, yet very effective, relaxation techniques. This book, with its accompanying stress-reduction audio download, will help you deeply relax. It will enable you to release the acute and chronic tension you constantly carry in your body and mind. It can also help you remove the blocks and obstacles to your inner peace and contentment, and prevent stress-related illness and disease. To heal yourself in this manner is an act of self-love, because you’re taking the time and expending the energy to work on yourself physically and emotionally, thereby bringing more joy into your life. You’ll find that regular practice with the audio will produce profound, long-lasting results.

About the author

As a traditional psychotherapist, Dr. Brian Weiss was astonished and skeptical when one of his patients began recalling past-life traumas that seemed to hold the key to her recurring nightmares and anxiety attacks. His skepticism was eroded, however, when she began to channel messages from "the space between lives," which contained remarkable revelations about Dr. Weiss's family and his dead son. Using past-life therapy, he was able to cure the patient and embark on a new, more meaningful phase of his own career.

A graduate of Columbia University and Yale Medical School, Brian L. Weiss M.D. is Chairman Emeritus of Psychiatry at the Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami.

Dr. Weiss maintains a private practice in Miami. In addition, Dr. Weiss conducts national and international seminars and experiential workshops as well as training programs for professionals.

Eliminar el estrés en menos de 100 paginas.

Brian Weiss explica muy bien que es el estrés y porque la gran mayoría de la población la sufre últimamente de forma muy constante. Hay factores en juego que a veces no vemos, no escuchamos o no nos damos cuenta, ya sea en el hogar, camino al trabajo, en el trabajo o en cualquier entorno o ambiente donde no nos sintamos cómodos. También, explica que el tener otras afecciones, ya sea padecer de otras enfermedades psicológicas es muy probable padecer estrés, es algo muy común y que la gente no lo trata y después deja pasar el tiempo y con el tiempo, todo esto pasa la cuenta.

Weiss explica que su método es muy simple, y yo, al ser una persona que sufrió de un desorden alimenticio (que también es mencionado como desencadenante de estrés) y de sufrir ahora ansiedad, debo decir que es muy efectivo, más, si llevas una terapia por parte de un psicólogo o psiquiatra y si incorporas otra forma de sanación, por ejemplo el yoga.

Weiss es reconocido en todo el mundo por sus terapias poco convencionales y espero que mas gente pueda leer sus libros y acceder a sus diferentes métodos, como la meditación, que es tan necesaria hoy en día al vivir en un mundo tan caótico donde no sabes con que te puedes esperar el día de mañana.

El estrés nos consume, destruye nuestras capacidades, nuestra vida, pero si encontramos formas (a tiempo) de poder mejorar y querer mejorar, todo va a estar bien.

Not bad, really quick read. I really enjoyed the first part of the book that dived into the scientific effects of long term stress on your body.

The second have was just like “the audio will teach you this, the audio will teach you that, that audio will help you do X/Y/Z” So kind of useless.

Still very intreating and the audio is a nice accompaniment to the book with nice relaxation techniques.

He de decir que mi experiencia de lectura se vio interrumpida porque leí esto en formato digital en la biblioteca pública digital chilena y ocurre que hay un CD para una actividad guiada y bueno, yo no lo tenía :c

[Matt Blair]

A quick and fairly interesting read, blending spirituality and practical approaches to stress reduction and its health benefits.

[Maytemoon]

Muy fan de Mr. Weiss con cada libro nos enseña más y más para realizar nuestros sueños y enseñarnos con muy poco a caminar y aprender en este mundo locoooo

A departure from some of Weiss' other books I've read (and enjoyed) that were more a combination of psychology and esotericism, this is more solidly within the confines of psychology and mainstream mindfulness/spirituality as part of a physical/mental/spiritual tripart approach to stress management. The audio CD was not included in the library version I read/reviewed, but the book on its own is a well done, brief overview of stress, its impact on the whole body and its treatment. I liked the small size, helpful for when one is already overwhelmed, direct language that were neither clinical nor spoke down to the reader and the practical suggestions for coping. Definitely could recommend this one.

Great book to understanding what stress does

This book, like all of Brian Weiss books, is a fascinating look into understanding ourselves on a deeper level. Many of his books that I have read were more about or spiritual nature. This book I found is more about ways to take control over our lives when stressful situations arise and the health risks that a life of anxiety and stress cause. This book would benefit those who suffer from unnecessary anxiety and stress and have allowed anxiety to dictate their lives. Comes with a meditation download to achieve a more relaxed state of being. Brian Weiss has never disappointed me in any of his books.

[Gaby Cruz]

Muy fácil de leer, mega interesante y al final del día la mayoría de lo que nos narra el autor es un poco de lo que y sabemos y los efectos crónicos del estrés, sin embargo lo aborda de una forma muy interesante y digerible.

El ejercicio de meditación que viene al final esta deli! Sin duda lo quiero adaptar a mi vida cuando lo necesite.

[Eli Paula]

Prático e rápido de ler.
Me decepcionei um pouco pq eu esperava mais técnicas práticas de como eliminar o estresse, mas ele nos traz para o básico, que claro, funciona, porém eu queria mais dicas mesmo.
Ainda assim, super indico, os ensinamentos são super validos

[Mia Rognstad]

great author!!!

I believe I’ve read all of Dr. Weiss’s books noe. Dr. Weiss is simply a gift to us all. His books are an illumination of the nature of being. If you’ve ever been afraid< Dr. Weiss can give you a reason to relax.

[Ricardo Valdés]

Va al grano, con explicaciones directas. Al final el audio es su método de relajación. El libro explica sus beneficios y las razones de porqué nos estresamos. Marca que hay tres puntos: Físico, psíquico y espiritual.

[Sofia Rodríguez]

Casi todo el libro hace referencia y publicidad del cd que incluye su meditación.
Es una buena meditación pero personalmente no me gustó la referencia a "descender, descender, descender" por lo que podría generar en una persona que no está completamente consciente.

[Juan]

Great book, it was very interesting to learn about the effects of cortisol on our body giving me an extra motivation to control my stress a bit more.

[Evan Guerra]

Solid advice for those hit hard with stress and stress-related anxiety.

[El rincón de moob]

Demasiado básico. El más flojo del autor aunque puede ser útil para las personas que necesiten aprender a gestionar el estrés.

[Javi Lobos]

Amo a Brian Weiss, me gustó mucho su forma de explicar el estrés, las causas y sus efectos. Siempre relaciona todo con la meditación y eso me encanta.

[Oihane Linazasoro]

Me ha gustado

[Alfredo Mier]

Sin CD

El libro es un excelente ejercicio para liberar el estrés. Se basa en un CD de apoyo mismo que no viene incluido. Es decir falta el 50% . Me parece esencial incluirlo.

[Zulma Sabogal]

El Dr Brian Weiss explica de forma sencilla y clara que es el estrés que repercusiones nos trae y lo mejor de todo, técnicas de relajación para sacar ese estrés de nuestras vidas.

[AlArIn]

Es bueno a modo para iniciar en este asunto de estresarse menos o relajarse más, etc.

Ojalá lo hubiese podido leer antes para que me ayudará a saber que buscar.

[Jess Wilson]

Helpful to reduce stress

This is a nice book to help reduce stress in your life. Many of the techniques can be helpful. You have to do the work to get the benefit.

[Kelly Carter]

A good book. Short but to the point. I think it will age well.

[Debbie Turner]

A good book dealing with Stress and finding a relief for it. The book comes with a CD that walks you through stress reduction. I will listen to it at a later date.

[Pri]

Doesn’t have too much to offer but nice meditation. Always puts me to sleep lol.

[ARQUI . LECTURA]

Funciona a manera de ejercicio, con el audiolibro..

Recomendable si lo que buscas es un método de sanación física, emocional y espiritual, en poco tiempo.

Lectura corta pero se agradece el análisis y el ejercicio práctico para reducir el estrés..

[Sheila]

Great little book and great cd for meditation.

[Katie]

I purchased this more for the stress-reducing CD than the actual book. The CD is very relaxing! Gotta love Brian Weiss.
