Stress is a response to actual or perceived danger. It is a series of hormonal and chemical responses intended to get us moving and create memories that will help us make quick decisions about dangerous situations in the future. When the danger is real, this response is protective. When the danger is perceived, especially for long periods as in an economic recession threatening your job, the response is not beneficial. It is the response to perceived danger that we want to control or at least significantly lessen.
Meditation is usually thought of as something we do in the quiet of our home or in a special secluded place. It is mainly perceived to be an altered state of consciousness that takes years of practice to become proficient. This may in part be true but because of resistance to trying meditation few people from Western countries take advantage of the principles of meditation.
