It’s no secret that the US economy is in a bit of a slump right now, and it’s hitting a lot of people very hard. Beyond the immediate financial problems that many people are facing, stress levels are rising and psychological and emotion problems can follow.

So I can’t really help with financial troubles, but I can certainly help with undue stress.

The good people over at eMindful.com have partnered up with Duke Integrative Medicine to offer some free stress reduction classes on the eMindul.com site:

Free online classes in stress reduction for people affected by the recent events in the financial markets are being offered by eMindful.com, a web-based mindfulness training resource, and Duke Integrative Medicine. Developed and taught by researchers at Duke Integrative Medicine, these classes are conducted in virtual classrooms where students can see, hear, and interact with live teachers and other students. Entering the virtual classroom is simple – and no software is required! Even novice computer users have easily accessed and enjoyed the eMindful classes.

According to the American Medical Association, stress accounts for approximately 85 percent of all illnesses. Excessive stress impacts people’s sleep patterns, eating habits, and emotional well-being. eMindful’s online, real-time classes offer simple, effective techniques for combating stress in day-to-day living.

The free classes will begin on Saturday, September 27th, and will be available periodically until October 10th at no charge. The courses are interactive and offer experiential exercises utilizing the techniques learned in class.

There was a time in the not-too-distant past where people lent a hand to each other just because… eMindful and Duke Integrative Medicine would like to lend that hand now.

If this is something that appeals to you I really encourage you to check it out, because stress is not something that people should have to live with.

You should also act fast, the first class was yesterday!
