Invitation to the research project
Stress Management with ABSR Online Courses
Lead: |
_ |
Dr. med. H. Haas and T. Hundhammer, ABSR course instructors and practitioners. |
Aim: |
|
How does the therapeutic application of Rudolf Steiner's lecture "Overcoming Nervousness" through Activity-based Stress Reduction (ABSR) change stress levels and affect participant satisfaction? How does the performance of the course instructors influence the outcome? |
Research: |
|
The evaluation is carried out by the Institute for Complementary and Integrative Medicine IKIM at the University of Bern using four questionnaires at the beginning, in the middle, at the end and 8 weeks after the course. |
Theoretical basis
As early as 1912, Rudolf Steiner developed seven easy-to-use and highly effective exercises for stress management to activate health forces, provide balance and enable us to cope with the demands of life:
Seven amplifiers of stress factors |
playfully transformed and dissolved by: |
Forgetfulness |
Conscious misplacement of objects |
Jumpiness and anxiety |
Changing handwriting in a playful way |
Self-doubt and over-concern |
Thinking texts and circumstances in reverses order |
Restlessness and loss of control |
Changing habits in a playful way |
Dependency |
Temporarily refraining from small wishes |
Compulsion and indecision |
Practicing decision-making with the heart |
Circling or compulsive thoughts |
Refraining from criticism and self-criticism |
The practical exercises are supplemented with simple movement exercises that illustrate the topic, make it accessible to the senses and enhance the effect of the exercises.
