THE GREAT STRESS BUSTER - ?

Stress is another name to modern day living, tensions at work place to way back home.
Everyday, each of us go through stress a number of times—mild or severe. Stress still remains the major affliction of life, making one feel lonely, lost, anxious, sense of betrayal, all in all life becomes a pain to survive.

Meditation brings down stress levels, improves balance and provides calmness to the mind.

Since its complete eradication is neither possible nor desirable, the best alternative could be that we can equip ourselves to manage stress positively.

Did we ever think how to energize ourselves and get hold of that precious weapon which is nothing a boaster and a great force? Stress not only affects our body it also affects our mind and spirit as well.

The Mind is a great tourist. It strays, hence always compared with a monkey!

When man finds all outward sources of solace dried up then he looks within, he tries to understand the nature of the 'self'. This kind of mental orientation helps realize one’s inner potential and achieve personal growth. Spirituality, or knowing one’s, `self`; is the real purpose of life, and one’s relationship with God, is rapidly catching the imaginations of modern men.

The knowledge of the self makes one experience and convince from the personal front about the insignificance from the point of permanency. There is change in outlook, positive approach, one is cheerful, absolutely spontaneous.

One learns to be more relaxed in life and view things with a positive approach. There is no hidden aggressions, temperaments which he now nourishes. He learns to accept the fact that even this will pass away and hence, there is nothing to be worried about. Pursuance of spirituality encourages one to empty all negative thoughts and distractions from one’s mind and helps one cultivate a passive attitude towards nagging life situations. Man now learns the passive attitude the essential factor in eliciting the Relaxation Response.

Various practices associated with the path of spirituality—meditation, breathing exercises, physical exercises (yoga kriyas/ yoga practices), and practice of positive thinking takes one physically and mentally better equipped to manage stress.

To put in a nutshell one develops tolerance towards others, willing to help,looks at this world as one family. We can put an end to the breaking up of families because of compatibility problems among couples.
