Simple ways to relax
“The Height Of Cultivation Runs Through Simplicity” – Bruce Lee.
After careful consideration opinions from readers and the state of my own physical and mental state I have concluded that it is called for that I post some simple ways to relax.
Most of us have come across the expression “God is a kid with an ant farm” and that may be considered because we have become like ants; we are highly capable, multi-developed, resourceful, creative, workaholic individuals going about our days thinking “how much we can do this day” instead of “how can I make more time for myself”.
If you have had days when you are stressed out, your head hurts, you have muscle and joint pain and you are feeling drained out of energy and unable to think, like I found myself to be almost everyday, which I am currently trying to work on and correct,you will find some of these suggestions helpful.
Change happens gradually
As you have noticed change happens harder than anything else because even though we all desire it, “enforcing the habit” is a lot more challenging than we might think.
From frequent reading on topics of this sort, and study of the body and mind and how this wonderful machine works, it has been scientifically proven that to change a habit you need to enforce it consecutively for 21 days. Why 21 days and not 10 or 20 or a whole month? Because it takes the brain 21 days to create new neural pathways, and gives neurons the time to re-route energy between the old roads to the new and to decide that the new established connections have higher effect and should be adopted permanently.
Some of the things that have a high impact on your health and level of energy:
- the food you eat
You may have heard the expression “we are what we eat” and that is true to the letter because the outer world is a reflection of the inner world; in other words the body absorbs nutrients from the food you give it and converts it into energy, energy that you need to go about your day and perform admirably in the tasks at hand.
So I would advise to eat only “live food” : fruit and vegetables. Why do I call it live food? Because careful analysis has shown that every vegetable or fruit eaten raw has still life force in it when you eat it.
Only a living organism can heal and give life to another living organism. Natural food, uncooked can heal you and increase the energy level, next to helping your body detox and remove chemicals, pesticides, food colorants, additives and so on, which exist in most of the food we buy from hypermarkets and stores instead of the market.
Best way is to grow it yourself so go get your own patch of tomatoes!
- the water you drink
“Water is the source of all life.”
The healthiest water to drink is from tap, or spring water. The springs must be tested previously so the water there isn’t contaminated with certain bacteria that may prove to be a risk hazard.
Also it is important to drink warm water. This is an Ayurvedic technique which leads to a healthy metabolism due to weight loss. The body uses an amount of energy for each organ and dedicated process. So drinking warm water, reduce the energy consumption that the body would use in warming the water to its own temperature which is usually between 36-37 degrees Celsius, and increases your energy level because your body absorbs the energy from the water and leads to weight loss cause it helps flush out the fat and cholesterol already deposited in your arteries, and veins even your internal organs, resulting in a healthier metabolism therefore a high energy output.
- Sunlight – it is vital to the development of vitamin D in the body so daily dozed exposure to sunlight is beneficial. Sunlight also kills some bacteria that live on the skin.
- Air – the vital part of life.
The quality of the air indoors is not the same as the quality of air outside. The oxygen quantity outside is considerably denser than the one inside so make sure to air out your homes 3-4 times a day. Also consider spending as much time possible outdoors in the garden if you have one. It is known that the color green relaxes the eyes and the mind.
- Salt in your bath water
The body is made-up of several “micro-elements” the most predominating one being Calcium, and the second one Magnesium and the list goes on.
What most people don’t realize is that among the most basic ones is Natrium, Iodine and Sulphur. These three detox the body on an energetic level. For example if you work with a computer, the computer emits an electromagnetic field and that field in time weakens your “aura” (the natural energy of your body) stealing energy from you and radiating you. You may have noticed computers and cellphones come with a SAR notice which explains the level of radiation per squared centimeter of skin.
Salt balances your energy level, depolarizing you. That’s why people go to the seaside every year. With salt in your bath tub you can have the seaside in your home. Look for marine salt, the unrefined type unlike your table iodised salt.
