CORPORATE WELLNESS SERVICES

Stress is an inescapable constant in our working lives, and research shows that cumulative stress contributes to as much as 90 percent of all acute and chronic health problems.

More than 75 percent of all Americans now describe their job as stressful, and workplace stress costs the nation over $300 billion a year in absenteeism, lower productivity, employee turnover, and insurance fees.

To help address these crippling issues, Equilibrium focuses on corporate services that help employees and executives manage stress, improving the health and well being of the individual as well as the bottom line.

Our specialty is proven, research-based techniques in mind-body medicine. They are easy-to-learn, personally empowering tools for use on the job to improve physical and emotional health, personal satisfaction, and productivity, no matter how stressful the workplace environment.

Below are details for our two most popular, proprietary corporate programs, developed and conducted by Bernadette Doran, director of Equilibrium. For further information, please contact Bernadette at (312) 786-1882 or info@equilibrium-e3.com.

FOUR DOORWAYS TO POWER

This 3 ½-hour experiential workshop teaches employees how to control stress immediately, in the moment it happens, and to be happier, healthier, more balanced and productive, even under the most stressful workplace conditions.

Your team will learn dozens of proven, easy-to-use stress-reduction techniques, specifically for use on the job, the mind-body science principles behind them, and how to tap into the four instantly available sources of personal power. Four Doorways to Power teaches your team how to access:

The Power of the Mind – The world is what we think it is, and by changing our mind, we literally change the limitless potential of our own world. Your team will understand how thoughts strengthen or weaken the body, learn how to push through limiting subconscious roadblocks, and master the power of intention to create desired results.

The Power of the Heart – Within the last decade, an astonishing new science of “heart intelligence” has emerged, leading researchers to understand that the heart is an even more powerful control center than the brain. Your team will understand the physical effects of anger, gratitude and other emotions on the body, and how to engage and consciously shift negative emotions in the moment to reverse the damaging effects of stress.

The Power of the Energy Field – Quantum physics is giving us a scientific basis for understanding personal and shared energy fields. Your team will understand how pollution, computers and electronic devices deplete the personal energy field and how to replenish theirs. They will learn ways to keep personal energy strong when “energy vampires” create fatigue and emotional upset.

The Power of the Body – Just as the mind and heart affect the body, so the body affects the mind, the heart, and overall health. Your team will learn how to listen to and understand the language of your body, how nutrition and digestion affect creativity and decision-making, and how breathing and movement create positive effects on the body and brain.

HOW TO STOP STRESS IN THREE MINUTES OR LESS

How to Stop Stress in Three Minutes or Less is a 1 ½-hour distillation of the Four Doorways to Power Workshop, eliminating the science behind and context for techniques, and instead focusing exclusively on the stress management techniques themselves.

Because this workshop contains many (but not all) techniques presented in Four Doorways to Power, it is an excellent refresher program as well as a stand-alone workshop.

Like Four Doorways to Power, this workshop teaches your team how to control stress in the moment it happens so they can immediately restore physical, emotional and mental balance.

How to Stop Stress in Three Minutes or Less helps employees master a wide range of practical, proven, easy-to-use stress-reduction techniques to help stop stress in its tracks, and therefore prevent, even reverse, the build-up of its dangerous effects. Because they are designed specifically for on-the-job intervention, the techniques help restore balance very quickly, literally in three minutes or less.

At the beginning of the workshop, employees are asked to identify the five worst stressors in their lives. After learning and experiencing a full range of stress-reduction techniques, they are asked to identify which technique they believe will work best for each stressor, leaving the workshop with a personal plan of action.
