STRESS in general is pressure or tension exerted at a specific point or on an entire object or thing.
HUMAN - STRESS is the sum total of all the electrical impulses utilized to generate emotions, thoughts, actions and anticipated actions around a specific belief. This is our interpretation and response to a circumstance or situation both internal or external.
HELD STRESS: These electrical impulses (emotions, thoughts, actions) are then looped in order to hold them - emotionally, mentally and physically. This HELD STRESS is what contributes to a vast number of emotional, mental and physical dis-ease and disease states.
