Meditation And Relaxation

What do you do to relax after a long, hectic day? Far too many of us consider it relaxation when we pour a glass of wine or pop a beer, then settle into the sofa for some quality time with the boob tube. That's not true relaxation at all. It's just escape.

Drinking, mindless viewing, compulsive eating and other self-destructive habits are simply tools we may use to dull our minds and keep negative feelings at bay. You can't think anything bad if you're not thinking at all. But repressing negative emotions won't make them go away. In fact, they're likely to come back stronger.

If you've ever tried any physical relaxation techniques, you know that the best way to relax a muscle is first to clench it. Your mind has a lot in common with that muscle. In order to remove negative emotions, first you have to confront them and deal with them without resentment.

Once you learn to accept and understand those emotions without reacting to them, that learned objectivity actually removes stress and tension. At the website for the Foundation of Human Understanding, you can download or purchase a guided meditation that will help you do just that. The "Be Still and Know" meditation practice was developed by Roy Masters almost 50 years ago. You can learn this technique in just 20 minutes a day, and reap all the mental and physical rewards of true relaxation.
