Reduce Threats

A Threat is a sensation received by our 5 senses, the Nervous system or the Autonomic system which is causing or may cause us pain - both emotional and physical pain.
A Threat can be a threat to our survival or our very existence, or it can be a Threat to our happiness.

As time has progressed, we have become, in the west at least, more creatures that respond to Threats to our happiness , but there are still many countries that have not managed to put systems in place to help people, so their Threats are still the old threats.

This is a link to our website suggesting methods that can be used to reduce threats, and observations of how it has helped

The playlist
Rather than find videos that simply reiterate what has been said in the descriptions for the methods, we have chosen some videos that capture something of the principle of each method or way of tackling the problem. In some cases they are songs, in other talks by various 'gurus' but each provides a useful perspective on this topic
