Have you become a bit
over-stimulated and overwhelmed by the complicated fast-paced systems we are all
operating within? As you may realize, we are living in very exciting times that
can sometimes feel like a bit too much. The world and its consciousness are
changing faster than ever before and sometimes our minds have trouble navigating
these changes. You have a choice. You don't have to let chaotic feelings of
overwhelm rule your existence. You can learn how to let go, relax, and remain
receptive to what life has to offer you. You can choose to refocus your
energies on creating a more relaxed and enjoyable way of living that deeply
nourishes your body, mind, and soul. You can only reap all of the rich and
fulfilling rewards life has to offer you when you live life from a relaxed,
centered, and peaceful place.
"Stillness is the greatest
achievement one can have in life."
~Papaji
Overwhelm stems directly from
believing all of the constant messages the mind is sending you about what you
should be doing, or how you should be acting. If you listen to your mind going
off about all of the things it has to do and how everything is impossible and
hopeless, then you will definitely feel sensations of overwhelm seeping into
your mind-body. If you believe and see as truth the many ideas and thoughts
that your mind is constantly spinning like a fairy tail, you will feel lost and
chaotic. Thoughts are harmless in themselves. It is when you latch onto your
thoughts like a life preserver and believe that they are the true reality of
your existence, that suffering is created in your
world.
If you are constantly chasing
the illusions of your mind, you will simply end up tired, frustrated, and
overwhelmed. Your mind has been programmed to endlessly search, seek, and
pillage to find happiness, fulfillment, and abundance in the outer world. This
constant search will never satisfy. It will only bring overwhelm and
exhaustion. The only way that you will find the happiness and fulfillment that
your mind desperately seeks is recognizing that God-Source that is always here
now. When you connect with that peaceful stillness that is who you truly you,
you automatically feel a deep sense of fulfillment. This is when you will
naturally relax, and see the futility of striving so hard for outer
contentment. Here are two techniques that can help you completely relax, and be
at peace.
"While we think
that our circumstances are the cause of our frustration, the real source lies in
not being aware of our higher self." ~Pir Vilayat
Trusting the Perfection of the Now
Moment: What if this very moment was 100% perfect, and nothing had to be
done to survive or thrive? How would it feel to surrender to and trust fully
what was happening in each moment, instead of worrying so much about achieving
something in the next moment? Trusting the now moment allows your mind and
physical body to completely relax. If you truly know that the now moment is
perfect, and focus simply on what you are doing in each single second instead of
the future, you will naturally start to relax. It is impossible to feel
overwhelmed when you are completely present to the now, and see the perfection
of the now moment because overwhelm is a feeling generated by future thoughts.
So if you start to feel
overwhelmed by your life, simple stop and begin to practice the fine art of
trusting the perfection of each moment as it arises. The Universe knows what it
is doing. It is simply up to you to let go and trust yourself, and this Divine
cosmic play called life. When you let go and trust what is, magically thing
begin to happen. The Universe will start answering your requests because you
are in alignment with what is, instead of trying to change or improve what is.
If you wish to attract a miraculous experience in the next 24 hours, just
practice FEELING trust all through you body as you go through your day. It's
THAT simple! Just surrender to the now moment and know that you are a
manifesting machine 24 hours a day. Miraculous things will begin to magically
occur.
"The miracle is that as you
awaken, so too, does the whole Universe." ~Pir Vilayat
Consciously Relax Your
Body-Mind: Whenever you start to feel overwhelmed, the best thing to do
is to simply take a few deep breaths in. Most of us breathe in very shallow
ways because we are constantly being driven by all of the thoughts are mind is
throwing at us. Each time you take a deep breath, you relax your body-mind.
The more you breathe deeply, the more you naturally let go of feelings of
stress, and begin feeling more peaceful and centered about your life. A
relaxed body-mind is a receptive one that is open to receiving support and help
from the Universe. The more receptive your body-mind is, the easier it is for
you to navigate through your life. So take a moment, to check out your body
right now.
How relaxed and open are you
right now? See if you can let go of just a little bit more tension inside you
somewhere now. Maybe it's hiding in your neck, hands, shoulders, back, or face.
The body may resist relaxation at first, yet if you imagine that everyone you
love is looking at you with eyes of love, your body will eventually melt and let
go. The Universe is literally holding you in a warm cradle of love. It is
taking care of all of your needs. All you need to do is simple focus on
relaxing your body-mind so that you can receive all of this love and
support.
"There is no reaching the
Self. If it were to be reached, it would mean that the Self is not here and now,
but would be something to be gained. It would be impermanent. What is not
permanent is not worth striving for, so I say the Self cannot reached. You are
the Self. You are already That." ~Ramana
