General Motors just learned they spent more money on employee absen- teeism and benefits then they do on the steel for all their automobiles.'\' To that end, the couple is operating under a state grant to research managerial stress. Their Stress isn't always a harmful condi- tiomhowever, according tothe doctors. - \The ideal situation is when you can make it work for you,\ asserted Dr,. Ray. \Without stress, none of us would take risks, and we all need a certain amount of stimulation in life. Retired 'persons and homemakers often fit into that category. Some people are just the opposite though. Even when they think they're relaxing, all they are doing is building up more stress. It's not a matter of what you do to relax, but how you go about doing it. The doctors spent three years rese- arching the best methods of relaxa- tion. .

I follow my own advice.\\ They put a heavy empha- sis on breathing techniques, \to clean out the impurities in the system'\ and also practice clinical hypnosis, a form of deep relaxation. The American Stress and Fitness Natural Settings . .. Center also offers a course in Effective Couples Communication, a program that teaches basic communication Skills. \Many couples still are having the same fight after 20 years of marriage that they had the first year,\ said Dr. Ray. \There's nothing wrong with anger and occasionally fighting, but it hasto be constructive and helpful -to the situation.\ , The duo specialize in numerous Both doctors agree there is a need for their service in today's world. Lots of people want to get more out of life and really don't know how,\ said Dr. Ray. Many lead lives of quiet desperation, as the philosopher said, which takes away from their ability to live life to the fullest. Many feel a loss of meaning in their lives. We aim to assist these people have their body, mind, :and spirit work together for quality living.\ (Continued from page 7) such long days up near the Arctic she said.
