Book Reviews of Stress Test Biofeedback Card and Booklet
Book Review: Blessed relief...
Summary: 5 Stars
I highly recommend this product. I've had one of these cards since 1985 and they really do work. I hadn't seen them for sale in a long time and thought I'd never find another one. While I didn't originally get the card from Amazon, I did just buy one from them because my old one is getting tatty.
Stress is exhausting (because of the adrenaline you are pumping) and it can do severe harm to your body. Unfortunately, it is a common thread in our day-to-day lives and not apt to go away. Just about anything that stress itself doesn't do to you, it will make worse. So, lowering your stress level will pay dividends in your health.
The secret to these cards is that the test patch on the card is heat sensitive. When you are stressed, your body pulls blood away from your skin and so your skin becomes cooler. The test patch reacts with colors that show the cooling effect. There is a color scale from blue through green, red, and finally black. Dark blue is calm, black is highly stressed. Well, you get the idea. If you find yourself getting into the red or black area, it is time to do stress relief procedures.
My personal favorite stress reducer is this: Sit in a chair with your eyes closed, your feet flat on the floor, and your arms hanging down at your side. Take a deep breath and hold it in for about 10 to 12 seconds. Then, slowly expel the air through your nose. Repeat the procedure as needed. Sometimes I do it for five or more reps. With practice, you can feel the stress rolling down your arms and away.
