Relaxing tensions in Life… (Part II)

Steps to take in order to relax tensions in lifeMostly, tensions emerge from the way your mind languages your experience. For example, a student runs several miles and enjoys running but when it is made a punishment, running creates tension. Where does the tension come from? It is through the interpretations in one’s mind. Observe a surfer… the stronger the waves, the more does he enjoy it. He decided that he is going to enjoy the waves while surfing. When waves are strong, he is totally present in the moment. There are no interfering thoughts in him. In such space something in him makes him very alive to the life around him. Learn to be in the present. Be aware of the present in total. There is joy being in the present. Do not get lost either in the past or future. Learn to live from the ‘higher self’ and not from the ‘lower self.’ The ‘higher self’ encourages you, as it is filled with positiveness. The ‘lower self’ is an interfering self. It discourages you. It acts more like an obstacle. Learn to relax your body. Learn to relax your mind. When thoughts emerge, see them as a wonder. See the beauty of your thoughts. Do not fight with them. See them like a play. Slowly you create a synergy with your thoughts. Whenever possible, be without thoughts. Learn the art of being empty. Do not verbalize an experience. Thus your mind relaxes.
