Stress? Who’s Got Stress?
This comes from the Summer that KWTC and just about everything else going on, were STRESSFUL.
That was the lovely time when the Siri Singh Sahib recommended the simplest thing:
“1 ounce of Rose Water in 6 ounces of Water first thing in the morning.
Takes your stress.
Gives you strength.”
Dang, if it didn’t work! I noticed a difference in 5 days. Do give it a try!
NOTE:
Be very careful of the Rose Water you use. It should only be distilled rose petals, not oil or extract or perfume. On initial search at Amazon, I only found 1 brand that is acceptable. On secondary search, there are many more. Shop carefully, you’re going to be drinking the stuff.

That Summer, just to amp it up (tone it down?), I put together my own blend for the essential cold wake-up shower. Being hot weather, that cold shower was sometimes BARELY enough to change the space.
Here’s my “formula” for a more stress free wake up. Your mileage may vary.
Get a bottle of good .
Get a bottle of .
Get a small bottle of ; NOT the extract or flavoring.
Get a bottle of . You know those flower remedies. If not, !
Take the cap off the Almond Oil.
Add 4-6 drops, up to a 1/2 tsp (Yikes! You’re STRESSED!) of Peppermint Oil.
Add a half dropper of the Rescue Remedy.
Shake well.
Take the cap off the Peppermint Soap.
Add 4-6 drops of the Peppermint Oil…Seriously, that’s all you need! It IS Peppermint Soap, after all.
Add a half dropper of the Bach Rescue Remedy.
Shake well.
*Go easy on it. You can always add more later, if you don’t feel it is strong enough.*
Head to the shower.
Shake both bottles before using.
Oil up.
Take a COLD shower and scrub with that soap.
Feeling better?
Other than smelling REALLY FRESH, you may feel like the light got turned on inside. Kind of, walking around with a major glow. YES!

Here are the ingredients:
Breath Meditation
This meditation takes three to five minutes and is easy to do. It works with the breath to balance nervous energies. In this meditation the presure of the breath stimulates the brain and nervous system. Taught by Yogi Bhajan.
Anxiety Relief
A. Sit in easy pose with the hands in prayer pose in front of the chest. Then move the hands downward with fingers pointing away from the body and then back up again to the original position. This is a fast, shaking motion. Long deep breathing. 3 Minutes
B. Still sitting in easy pose, extend the arms forward, bending the arms at the elbow. Keep the elbows in close to the body, upper arms extend somewhat beyond the shoulder, palms are open and facing the body. Begin bringing the hands in toward the body and then back out again. The movement is about 12 inches. Form a circle with the mouth and breathe in and out rapidly through the mouth. 3 Minutes
C. This is the same as part A., only breathe rapidly in an out through the mouth as in B. 3 Minutes
Meditation to Lead a Stress Free Existence
Tonify the heart and the digestive and elimination system, and circulate prana to the nadies.
Sitting in easy pose, place the arms up at the sides at an angle of 60 degrees from the horizontal, with the palms facing up and inward. Elbows are straight. Shake the hands vigorously, allowing the arms, shoulders, body, and legs to shake along with them. Do this for 3 minutes.
Place the arms straight out in front, horizontal to the ground. Bend the wrists toward you, so that the Jupiter finger (index finger) points upward. The other fingers are curled under the thumb. Moving only the wrists, rotate the Jupiter fingers outward, then downward, then inward, then upward again. The right hand will have its Jupiter finger rotating clockwise around the wrist, and the left hand counter-clockwise. The arms remain straight and stationary. Try to keep the Jupiter finger in a vertical plane moving around the wrist. Do this for 3 minutes. Then inhale, hold and squeeze, and exhale, three times.
