Meditation Is The Only Stress Management Activity |

Do you think that an individual is a
self-contained personality? It is proved beyond doubt that you use less
than 5% of the actual powerhouse that you are! The rest of the energy is
not utilized by a human being! You can activate through meditation, as
you reach the higher levels, brain chemicals that slow your aging
process and dramatically increase your functional life. Through
medication you can have the inner vision and mind-blowing experiences.
You may wonder, how meditation could be one of the stress
management activities! In fact, it is not just one of the stress
management activities. It is the only one! Other techniques are
kindergarten stuff before this ultimate tool of stress management.
Meditation kindles the light within.
Take this
example, and try to understand the benefits of meditation as a tool that
controls the stress. Suppose you enter a dark room and switch on the
tube light. Then, it is not necessary for you to inform or urge the
darkness to go away. The moment light arrives, darkness goes
automatically. Similarly, the moment the light experience takes hold on
you, the negative tendencies will fall apart, automatically. They move
out, without being told. Light and darkness can not stay at the same
place. Similarly, stress and peace of mind cannot walk together. Can two
persons walk together, except they be agreed?
What are the universally accepted negative tendencies of an individual?
Prominent among the galaxy of negative traits are, anger, fear, anxiety,
sadness and greed. These simple looking negativities, are deeply
entrenched within you, and you have to go their roots to remove them.
The positive qualities like creativity, improved focus and concentration
can meet the challenge of stress effectively.
Listening to
soothing music, and inspiring talks through video/audio cassettes, has
found a prominent place among the stress management activities.
In the final analysis, stress management is all about
understanding your mind. Engage it in a frank silent talk. It has the
habit of not listening to you and running its own way. You can check it
through meditation and begin to control it. In the end, I will assure
you, that it has no other option but to surrender at your feet!
I
will also caution you that it will do so, after lots of struggle and by
offering you stiff resistance, at every stage!
