Ill digestion linked to Parasympathetic nervous stress?

While I can't relate to your digestive problems - some of my favorite ways to cope with stress is exercising and meditation. I was skeptical about meditation at first, but then someone explained it to me like this: Your brain is just like a computer and it is constantly taking in information. If a computer is never allowed to shut down and restart, it's functioning becomes a lot slower and strained. Meditation basically acts as that restart for your brain. This link shares a lot of good info on meditation for beginners, http://www.gaiam.com/discover/158/article/meditation-101-techniques-benefits-and-a-beginners-how-to.
@safetyshield @ntp01 @mvestuto @srobison @flip1949 @grandmajan @cherriann @johnbishop do any of you have any favorite ways of how to handle stress?

Sometimes not an easy task to handle stress. When I do feel a little stressed it's normally because I'm fretting about something not getting done or a situation I'm in. I look for one of my cats and we have a one way chat fest - they listen, they get a treat and I feel better.
johnbiship My cat is my antistresser for me too. well when he is not raising havic in my home.

Yes! I like that analogy. Thanks so much for the support. Dr Rollins at the Fort Worth Wellness Center described it one time in her Kundalini Yoga class that the body is an upside down fig tree (the brain the roots, the nerves the branches, and the fruit the stimulation and sensory aspects of life a human experiences) so if the fruit is sucking dry depleting the tree branches the root will run dry and at some point it dies.
