    • INTRODUCTION: the stress as good stress or eustress and in cases An invincible, dynamic and blissful life realizing of failures we term the stress as bad stress or “simultaneous individual liberation and universal distress! However it must be remembered that what welfare” is SUPERLIVING and it is our eternal right, eustress is for one person can be distress for another privilege and also a golden opportunity! depending on the individual’s capacity to manage the stress. Let us understand how Total Stress Management [TSM] can help us to achieve However the specialty of TSM is that it enables SUPERLIVING! us to not merely to achieve trivial and ephemeral personal successes but realize individual liberation Stress is an interaction between any living organism and the environment. Thus, sensory stimulation and universal welfare. [perception], homeostatic change [feelings] and responses [behavior] together constitute stress and the TSM is like watering the roots of the life tree and emerging consciousness that refines the perceptions, is a process of its growth, blossoming and fruition. TSM feelings and responses in implicit manner in every living enables us to evolve our perspective, observation, being and explicit manner in human beings is Total analyzing, synthesizing, questioning, contemplating, Stress Management [TSM]. understanding, hypothesizing, memorizing etc. viz. perception, nervous, endocrine and metabolic Hence stress and TSM are present at all the times in every living being! Most of the times, they are changes taking place leading to ideas, plans, strength, subconscious and are present not only during wakeful freedom, pleasure, love, patience etc viz. feelings and state , but even during unconscious state, sleep, dreams physical, instinctual, emotional and intellectual actions and even in an embryo. This is why most of us are not i.e. behavior in our private, professional and public even aware of them and do not care for conscious study life. TSM thus enables us to orient ourselves and our of stress and TSM! efforts in every field towards realizing simultaneous Actually most of us are busy in excellent efforts individual liberation and universal welfare and bring to improve individual and social life in our respective about multiplication of our efficacy and fulfillment. areas of specialization and our efforts constitute TSM Thus through TSM we begin to realize but usually without conscious and holistic study, SUPERLIVING! TSM is the way and SUPERLIVING awareness and practice of stress and TSM [here after is the destination! But these are not water tight referred to as only TSM]. Hence even without TSM compartments! The ecstasy in SUPERLIVING is sometimes there are successes and happiness or dynamic and the dynamic process of TSM is failures and tragedies. In cases of successes we call ecstatic! (3) (4)

When injury, antigens, extraneous chemicals etc. in the they enter nervous system, they change the secretion blood. All these act on the different types of white of a variety of neurotransmitters, which are chemical blood cells [WBC], which in turn produce several substances acting on the various parts of brain.

The hypothalamus in turn secretes hormones, which are carried to the pituitary gland which is underneath the hypothalamus. The pituitary in turn secretes hormones which are released in the blood and reach to influence various endocrine glands. Adrenal gland located on the top of the kidneys, has the outer cortex and the inner medulla. Adrenal cortex secretes amongst other hormones, cortisol, which is mainly responsible for various bad effects of stress. (13) (14)
