'WHY YOU SHOULD BLESS YOUR STRESS'
Author - unknown
Although relaxation ought to be, um, relaxing, stress management has somehow become another pressing item on our to-do list. We're made to feel like failures if we can't balance ourselves. But stress is good. The discomfort of stress is a sign that you are tackling life's problems head-on. Stress improves productivity and performance --at work, at the gym --and your body will be stronger if you alternate periods of calm & excitement.
Once stress reaches a certain level, however, productivity goes down. Too much stress leads to sleep problems and irritability and can lead to a weakened immune system.
Your goal is not to completely avoid stress & lounge in your pj's all day. Not only is the couch potato life boring, it's a classic sign of depression.
Know this: Sometimes stress will get the better of you. A crucial aspect of stress management is self-acceptance --knowing that you are, for example, a stress eater. There may be days when you are so frustrated that you eat everything in the fridge. It happens. Do what you can to prevent these reactions. Meditation is great, or keeping a food or personal diary --connect with yourself and then move on.
THIS MONTH: Kundalini Meditation for you to try.
This meditation is a simple meditation and one of the first learned in this style. It is also very good for beginners in meditation because it offers not only 1 but 2 focus points to keep your mind from wondering. One is the mantra and the other the finger exercise.
The Mantra being used is Sa Ta Na Ma. The meaning of this Mantra is very simple.
1. Sa means Birth it represents the beginning, it also represents infinity.
2. Ta represents Life, both your own and all life as well.
3. Na represents Death or the end of something (your stress for example or doubts about God if you are more spiritually inclined) also it is about totality. Because death is the sum of everything it gives completion a view of the whole of something.
4. Ma represents rebirth or resurrection. When we thing of this we can also relate this to a change in our self or our surroundings.
SO LETS BEING:
While sitting in the basic 'indian style' sitting posture you will chant the above mantra while focusing your attention on this finger exercise: With your palms up and resting on your knees touch your thumb to the corresponding finger to the mantra. For Sa you will touch to the index finger, Ta to the middle finger, Na to the ring finger and Ma to the pinky finger.
To get the most out of your meditations you can do them twice everyday. The best practice for this meditation is one time in the early morning for about 5-10 minutes and again in the evening. After a week or so you will notice yourself being a lot more relaxed and being very slow to anger.
We have more information on Kundalini yoga on our site. As well as on many other styles of yoga.
Each month, readers & fans ask Christopher Allan questions pertaining to his understanding of mediumship, the afterlife, and experience of being psychic.
Q: Does the Other Side have a sense of humor? If so, what are some experiences you've had that showed their light side?
A: I believe that our personalities do not change much at all when we pass away. In fact, whatever positive personality traits we have here on Earth that really define who we are, if anything, magnify times 10. So if someone was known for their humor in life, the same would hold true in the afterlife.
When I reconnect families with loved ones in Spirit, it's a serious task for me to be a part of. However, Spirits often like to remind the family I'm reading about the happy times and those moments that bring a smile to any face.
Most recently, I met a woman who's son came through to her during our reading and told his mom about a video she had of him dancing in their family room. It was then, this grief stricken mother balled over in laughter with the new found understanding that her son was okay. So 'okay' as to let her know about this video that she had kept of her son from his childhood. Turns out when this boy was alive he would never let the family videotape anything "cute" of him. So this mom resorted to 'hiding' the family video camera & see what she could get of him before he got too old. One morning while thinking no one was around in the house, his favorite music videos came on and proceeded to mimic his favorite pop stars for a good 10 minutes in his pajamas.
Oh by the way, have you read about how Spirits show me 'MY LIFE EXPERIENCE' to get me to say what it is Spirit wants me to say. Let's just say, I could relate to this story. Blush...
The amazing thing was, when this son was alive, he never knew about this video. The week before this mom came to see me, she stumbled upon the video & popped it in the VCR. While reviewing this hidden footage, she cried & laughed the entire time. It reminded her just how 'special' her son was. I guess someone else was watching too.
Sometimes, our loved one's in Spirit want us to relive those moments to convey that it's okay to smile while we mourn. For this mom, even in grief, she learned laughter can still be the best medicine.
