Overall I have found NSR to be very beneficial in reducing stress.
It really does seem to help with making life easier/less stressful.
However, since I had finals and I am on vacation, I haven't been meditating consistently for the last two weeks. Big mistake! I can feel the stress creeping back in. So if you start NSR, make sure to keep it up. I liken it to people who are on antidepressants etc, take their medication, and then go off it after a while because they feel "better." Then that's when things start to go wrong.
This is similar to if you start meditating and it doesn't feel as if anything is happening. Not true! I think David has posted before that stress release is different for each person. Some people feel something during meditation, others feel bored like I sometimes do. But it's actually working. I feel "blissful" after meditation. I think you should try it for a few weeks and see how it goes. If you find it helps you at first, then keep it up. In fact tomorrow, or perhaps tonight I will go back and start up my meditation sessions again and will try not to miss any more sessions.
Thanks to David and the others for providing this program for such a low cost.
Andy.
