Natural Stress Relief
Achieving natural stress relief, managing one’s stress and anxiety without the use of medication but insteadthrough the use of meditation, is the process of observation and awareness of what is. It is the emptying of thought, of the content of one’s consciousness, and the elimination of all division and conflict between what is and what you want it to be. It is accepting yourself and your circumstances, with a vibrant new energy that can only come from the true meditative process.
We understand that it takes a very quiet and still mind to see things clearly with awareness and vitality. Managing stressthrough the use of meditation will lead to natural stress relief, but it requires a quiet mind that can look at what is, the fact of the thing, without prejudice, comparison, or judgment; just to accept what is, not to attempt to change it into something else. Because once we attempt to change it, we bring in thought, and immediately our perception is diminished. We then see and hear things in an obscure way, tainted by our past memories and experiences, by our mental impressions.
So then you certainly must appreciate how critical it is to see things clearly (in relationships) and psychologically (internally) and that the only way to accomplish this is by quieting your mind. This is a fact. Don’t run from it, don’t try to force it into happening. Just be with the reality, the fact of it, and it will happen. Your mind will become quiet.
Managing stress with natural stress relief requires that you must first bring about order in your life.
You can sit cross legged and practice deep breathing for the next 2,000 years, but if your life is in a state of disorder you will never see the truth. All of the meditation in the world will not help you. To take this journey you must be committed to improving your life and finding the truth. We all want natural stress relief, to reduce mental stress and mental anxiety, but in order to do this we must first get our personal and social lives in order.
Please realize that meditation is the most marvelous thing when done correctly. However, If done incorrectly, you have a marvelous escape, but with little significance, meaning, or effectiveness.
To obtain natural stress relief there must be order in your relationships, and that can only exist when there is no fear. Order is not put together by thought. When thought comes into play there is only disorder. With thought comes the recollection of all of your past memories and conditioning, and all of your unfulfilled desires, fears and suffering. These are the things that inevitably lead to your stress and the only way to find natural stress relief is to eliminate these things from your life.
The importance of meditation is in finding that silence, that subtle quiet mind that is free of thought.
Biologically, physically, and psychologically, to see anything clearly, requires a very quiet mind. To look at the trees, the ocean, the sky, and to appreciate their beauty, the mind must be very quiet.
To look at your life and see yourself and your relationships with complete mental clarity also requires an extremely quiet mind that can observe and watch and see things clearly without prejudice, comparison, imitation, or judgment, which all tend to lead to conflict, stress and anxiety.
It is so simple, yet we make things so complicated. You must see this fact – the reason of it, the beautiful logic of it – that the only way you can see something clearly and eliminate the causes of stress and anxiety is when your mind is quiet and clear.
You can not hear what someone is saying to you if you are talking to yourself all of the time. Your mind must be quiet to hear and see clearly. So the endless internal dialogue must stop! Mental silence is absolutely necessary to see and interpret the external world clearly.
When done correctly, through the use of proper yoga and meditation techniques you will manage stress and achieve natural stress relief, increase awareness, increase memory and concentration, increase confidence, and even develop intuition beyond your wildest dreams.
