People can find peace anywhere. Often, they can carry this with them anywhere, in the form of books like From Stressed to Blessed.

They say change is the only constant in the world.

But another matter, ever-pressing enough, begs to differ. Regardless of where people are situated and how their circumstances are, stress is ever-present. It’s the body’s natural reaction during demanding situations and events deemed too overwhelming. Stress persists like air – unseen but perpetual – waiting to knock people down.

Everybody is susceptible to the world weighing them down.

There will be times when everything feels so heavy people can’t help but desire some relief, a time-out for when things feel like they’re pressing in. Everybody encounters stressors, for they are natural and essential to survival. However, despite its nature and purpose, this shouldn’t mean that the sensation is to be tolerated. After all, like everything else, too much of it can be detrimental to one’s health.

But what can people do to counter it when it can strike at any time?

From Stressed to Blessed, a Handy Source of Peace

Stress chooses no time to surface. It materializes when the mind feels overwhelmed, and the body shuts down, unable to cope and attend to these threats. Does it cause any wonder what would happen if this strikes when people are alone? What would they do, and who would they call for help?

When this happens, self-regulation is the perfect remedy.

These activities help individuals assess and protect people’s best interests, directing the brain to adapt and cope with heightened emotions and stressful situations. This is why people have different behaviors when stress spikes to try and look after themselves. Some instantly remove themselves from the situation, distracting themselves with another activity. Others try and meditate, rebalancing their minds and centering them on peace and relaxation.

This is precisely why Cynthia D. Chase wrote From Stressed to Blessed, a book about life transformation through meditation. Meditation may need patience and commitment for one to practice effectively. But with constant exposure, utilizing it becomes as easy as taking a flashlight from one’s bag and shining it to protect oneself from the world’s chaos.

From Stressed to Blessed captures the fundamental processes of meditation into bite-sized and easy-to-consume information. Cynthia wishes she’ll inspire readers to use meditation to protect themselves from the world and experience a deeper meaning in life. From Stressed to Blessed is a beginners’ guide to meditation, outlining a process that works on people’s internal health for their spiritual needs and growth. It’s exactly what it says it is. It aims to help individuals open their hearts and relieve the strain and anxieties clouding their lives.
