Discussion with the North Carolina Society for Ethical Culture
Question: "What are the two or three most important ethical issues of our time and what can or should we, as individuals, do about these issues?"

Ethical Culture and the Triangle Vegetarian Society on September 12,

longer questions.
Larry Green "Stress Reduction Skills for Stressful Times"
14 March 2009
In stressful times, it is useful to know simple skills that can
dramatically change our feelings and outlook. As a teacher of Energy
Kinesiology, Larry Green regularly shares simple skills that people can use to
change their neurological response to life. Feeling stressed? The
Emotional Stress Release Technique is simple, quick and effective at
reducing the stress we feel. At this talk, you will learn how to use it
for yourself and others. Also, Cook's Hook-up is another simple way to
change our stress quickly and easily so we can be more relaxed. A simple
yoga breathing technique is also very easy and marvelous to use. Larry
will talk about different strategies for dealing with stress. You
probably won't believe how easy it is to feel less stressed, until you
have come to this talk.
