The Choice Between Chaos and Calm
How to Break Free from Stress and Reconnect with Your True Self
Stress doesn’t just make you tired or tense – it can cause what I call ‘spiritual amnesia.’ That’s when we forget our peace, our clarity, and the truth of who we are.
In this talk, I share how to recognize stress early, understand its impact on your body, and apply simple, science-backed tools to return to your center in minutes.
Key Takeaways:
- – Recognize the three main types of stress – physical, mental, and emotional/spiritual.
- – Understand what’s happening in your body during the fight-or-flight response.
- – Discover why catching stress early protects your health, relationships, and clarity.
- – Learn three practical tools to move from chaos to calm.
- – Experience a guided practice that helps you reconnect to your truth in minutes.
3 Tools to Shift from Chaos to Calm:
- – Reset Breath (Box Breathing): Inhale through the nose for 4, hold for 4, exhale through the mouth for 6.
- – Sensory Grounding: Name 5 things you see, 4 feel, 3 hear, 2 smell, 1 taste.
- – Heart-Brain Coherence: Breathe through your heart, generate gratitude or love, let it fill your whole body.
Remember: Calm isn’t something you find only on vacation or in perfect conditions. It’s a choice you can make – even in the middle of a storm.

About Marti Davis, MD (ret)
Retired physician turned Holistic Health Advocate. I have my MD, but I’ve also received certifications in Health and Wellness Coaching, Meditation Instruction, Yoga Teacher Training, Ayurveda Wellness Counselor, EFT, and PSYCH-K. I currently implement all of them for clients, depending on the client’s desire and the situation. I’m passionate about educating individuals about their innate ability to create their lives by identifying and rewriting the limiting beliefs that may keep them stuck in sickness, financial dependence, poor relationships, unfulfilling jobs, or a sense of spiritual separation. I get a little nervous because of my belief that this information is so empowering and needs to be shared. And, once I settle in, I really enjoy the process and the opportunity to dialogue with others that are interested in these topics.
