Relax, Rejuvenate and Strengthen Your Mind

From the recently released book by Robert Elias Najemy “DEALING WITH TESTING TIMES”

The mind like any other machine or instrument needs to be cared for, rested, tuned, and gradually improved. It is the instrument with which you perceive life, express yourself and create your life. When it is functioning well, you are able to think clearly, solve problems, be creative, and enjoy life.

The mind improving technique described below is a form of relaxation, positive visualization and meditation. If you have a history of emotional imbalance, consult your health professional before performing these relaxation procedures.

Deep relaxation can be done while sitting or lying down with your spine straight.

a. Focus on your breathing and mentally count so that the inhalation, retention and exhalation of your breath have the same duration. Do not force the breath. Do this for about five minutes (not more at first). With each inhalation imagine taking in peace and energy. With each exhalation allow all tension and tiredness to dissipate.

b. Now allow your attention to move through your body starting with the bottom of your feet and moving up towards the head, relaxing each part of the body as your attention passes through it. Allow all the muscles of your body from the soles of your feet to the top of your head to relax. This should not be an effort, but rather an allowing or letting go.

c. And finally, as you mentally count back from 10 to 1 allow your body and mind to relax ever more deeply with each number.

CDs and mp3 files with a variety of guided relaxations can be found at http://www.HolsticHarmony.com.

Once you have allowed your body and mind to relax you can then perform a combination of these and other mental exercises.

1. Visualize or feel a healing and rejuvenating light moving through your body creating health, peace and vitality in each and every part of your body. Then focus this healing light in specific parts of your body that need special help. If you do not see the light, simply imagine or feel that it is there.

2. Focus on positive thoughts and images concerning yourself, your life and your contact with the world around you. Imagine yourself, as you would like to be physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Your thoughts actually create your reality.

3. Always create feelings of self-acceptance, self-love and self-confidence. These are essential assets in dealing with people and life.

4. Focus on your perception of the Divine – with or without form. Feel your personal connection of love and gratitude with the Divine.

5. Ask a question to be answered by your inner self. State the question three times and then let it go and be silent. The answer might come during deep relaxation or some time later, perhaps in a dream, upon waking, while reading, or conversing with someone.

6. Leave time for your mind to just be empty. This time of emptiness is essential both in self-healing and also in your spiritual growth process.

Do this once or twice a day. Do not let your mind fool you into believing that there is no time. There is. Eliminate something else, which is offering you less in your life, and replace it with relaxation.

In 85% of cases, people feel wonderful. Do not be put off or afraid, however, if in the beginning you experience possible negative side effects after doing a relaxation. This is simply the release of suppressed tension that you have bottled up within you. The symptoms may be yawning, headaches, dizziness, a feeling of irritability, or the need to cry or laugh nervously. Or, you may feel nothing at all.

There are CDs and free mp3 files available at http://www.HolsticHarmony.com with guidance in the above mentioned methods.
