Welcome! With Dr. Jan Grzankowski, RN, DNS Stress Solution - Director Hi. I am Dr. Jan Grzankowski, Director of the Stress Solution. I have been a nurse for 45 years and 25 years ago I was so in awe of the power of the mind and the brain that I went back for my Doctorate Degree in Nursing Science. This website is the outcome of the years of work and funding of the National Institute for Integrative Healthcare. It is your pathway to unlocking a new future. To help you get started, we have arranged for free one-on-one personalized research-backed therapies with professionals ready to help you design the you that you want to become. I applaud you for taking this first step. More about Dr. Jan About Us The National Institute for Integrative Healthcare (NIIH) is a leading-edge nonprofit dedicated to THERAPIES, to RESEARCH, and to EDUCATION in the fields of Energy Medicine and Energy Psychology. ​ Research has shown that emerging methods such as mindfulness, stress reduction, EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), and the Relaxation Response are “evidence-based” practices for addressing both emotional trauma and physical symptoms. NIIH is dedicated to conducting empirical research in these methods, as well as expanding patient access by fostering their adoption in primary care settings. ​ Through its research projects and educational programs, NIIH investigates the epigenetic effects of intention, consciousness and energy in healing. Epigenetics is the branch of science describing influences that alter the expression of genes (epi=above; epigenetic=control of DNA from above or outside the gene). ​​ ​​​​​​​New research shows that consciousness (beliefs, emotions, optimism, altruism, visualization, prayer, energy, meditation) has epigenetic effects, affecting cellular processes at the most fundamental levels of molecular biology. NIIH is a leader in applying these methods for better health, happiness and longevity. NIIH also maintains a research bibliography of energy therapies, listing over 600 studies of these methods. ​ The National Institute for Integrative Healthcare has several activities: RESEARCH through the Foundation for Epigenetic Medicine, COUNSELING especially the Veterans Stress Project (now the Stress Solution), PUBLISHING, in association with Energy Psychology Press, the peer-reviewed journal Energy Psychology: Theory, Research, & Treatment, and EDUCATION through referrals to institutions offering training in the field. We also support relief and humanitarian projects. The epigenetic stress reduction methods promoted by NIIH have been featured in many media stories.

EMOTIONAL FREEDOM TECHNIQUE EFT is a simple to use healing method with an 86% success rate for PTSD (Church et. al, 2013). If you are finding yourself unable to release or overcome persistent negative emotions, or having beliefs about yourself or others you would like to change, EFT is likely a good fit for you. It has been clinically studied and found highly effective for PTSD, phobias, and psychological ailments such as depression and anxiety. Once you learn the basics, you can even use EFT on your own. EFT involves memory recall while tapping on specific acupressure points of the body. If you are concerned about having to think or talk about an experience, don’t worry, there are techniques specifically designed to make sure the process feels safe and empowering to you. It is a client-led technique, so you are always in control. REPROGRAMMING THE SUBCONSCIOUS Hypnotherapy, HeartMath and EMDR This category consists of three different methods to choose from: Hypnotherapy, HeartMath, and/or EMDR. These methods reprogram or remodel your automatic patterns of thinking, acting, or feeling. Hypnotherapy involves getting the brain into a state of suggestibility to allow the practitioner to speak agreed-upon suggestions to your subconscious. This assists you to release what you don’t want and receive what you do want. HeartMath is based on 25 years of research and teaches you simple, practical techniques that can help you de-stress from challenging situations as well as build your resilience. The techniques you will learn will also help you to quickly get back on track in moments of stress. EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing. It is proven that the movement of our eyes is directly linked to how our brains translate and store our thoughts. By combining eye movement with talk therapy from a licensed EMDR therapist, traumas and overwhelm can be quickly released. LIFE COACHING With a Certified Life Coach A life coach is a versatile mentor whose goal is to assist you to clear a path to where you want to be. They may focus on what areas of your life are imbalanced and use various techniques to help you clarify your goals and release old habits that may be in your way. You gain new skills and behaviors to support your alignment with your dreams. Life coaches are also an excellent accountability partner to guide you into action. Ready to schedule your services?

For Immediate Release Contact: Jennifer Ellis at Jennifer@EFTUniverse.com New Website Brings No-Cost Solutions to Veterans with PTSD Petaluma, CA. – Sporting a completely revised website at StressSolution.org , the nonprofit Veterans Stress Solution is a no-cost service for veterans, active military, and their families, providing complimentary sessions using energy psychology, a therapeutic method supporting people with PTSD in reclaiming their health and their lives. The most common form of energy psychology is Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), also known as acupoint tapping or simply “tapping.” EFT is an evidence-based practice that combines acupressure (tapping on acupuncture points) with psychology’s exposure therapy (focusing on distressing memories) and cognitive behavior therapy (reframing) to halt the stress response and clear pain and upset. According to Stress Solution director Dr. Jan Colestro, the project has a growing international presence with global providers who offer their expertise in gratitude for the client’s service to their respective countries, as well as the sacrifices experienced by their families. With 45 years of nursing experience along with an open mind to current technologies, Colestro returned to school for a doctorate in nursing science. She says the new Stress Solution website is the outcome of years of work and funding by the National Institute for Integrative Healthcare (NIIH). “It is a pathway to unlocking a new future,” she says. “To help people get started, we have arranged for free one-on-one personalized therapies with professionals ready to help you design the you that you want to become.” The project’s ultimate vision is to create a shift on a mass scale, reducing the internal stress of military veterans and their families who have experienced traumatic incidents. “This shift will have benefits in many aspects of a person’s life: less disruption of their body’s natural homeostasis, improving their own physiologic balance as well as improving relationships with their significant others, co-workers, family members, and community. When they are in this improved state, they can think more clearly and connect to their future in a new way.” Research has shown that emerging methods such as mindfulness, stress reduction, and EFT are evidence-based practices for addressing both emotional trauma and physical symptoms. Considerable thought went into the planning of the website, a comforting and user-friendly visit for the audience. The team set up a system for clients to book an appointment with an expert of their choice, in the modality of their choice, on a date and time that works for both parties. Says Colestro, “Our intended audience is a group of proud and strong people. Their personal history is that of strength that has been challenged by a traumatic event. We wanted to be there so they could easily reach us and benefit from new information and these effective techniques. We designed a system that partners with the client and allows them to lead the way in a safe environment of highly skilled professionals.” Dr. Jan Colestro can be reached at www.StressSolution.org or Director@StressSolution.org .

EcoMeditations How It Works STEP BY STEP PROCESS Not to worry, at the beginning of the EcoMeditations, you will be guided through this process. Image: Dawson Church showing tapping points 1. Hold the intention that you are in a calm & peaceful state. Nothing matters except the gift of undisturbed time you are now giving yourself. Allow yourself to be fully present. 2. You will be guided to become aware of your breathing, then cross your hands over your heart. You then use your fingertips to tap lightly on the side of your hand. 3. As you tap, "I now release anything and everything that stands between me and inner peace." 4. Switch hands, tap again, "I now release anything in my mind, anything in my heart, anything in my body, that stands between me and inner peace." Stop tapping & relax your hands. You will be guided to do the following. Close your eyes and let your tongue be relaxed on the floor of your mouth. Feel (sense) the space inside your feet, hands, arms, torso, head... Picture the big empty space behind your eyes. If any thoughts arise during this meditation, simply let them go like clouds across the sky. Imagine Imagine your breath flowing in and out through your heart. 6 seconds in and 6 seconds out. Notice Notice how relaxed your tongue is on the floor of your mouth. Notice the big empty space behind your eyes. Feel Feel the beautiful loving energy in the center of your chest. Imagine Imagine a beam of energy connecting out from your body to a person or place that makes you feel wonderful. Breathe Breathe through your heart, 6 seconds in and 6 seconds out. Notice Notice the energy beam connecting your heart with theirs. Bring Gently bring the beam of your love energy back into your physical chest. Send Send a beam of that love energy to any part of your body that is uncomfortable, sick, or in pain. Feel it absorbing that love. Notice As you end the meditation, feel the space inside your body. Gently open your eyes and notice what is around you. Remember you can choose to feel this good. Click Here To Begin!
