Is Pandemic pressure killing you??
We are amidst a most traumatic situation caused by this pandemic, probably occurred never before. Uncertainties and negativity is dominant and is visible everywhere. Relaxing a mind is this situation is like saving ourselves from heat while sitting close to fire. It looks impossible…!!!! isn’t it???
But it is the need of the hour to find a valid, reliable and feasible solution to relax our minds during this crises. One has to understand the process, how mind relaxes and one has also to understand that all brains are different. That means, every brain will have its unique process, method or strategy of relaxation and therefore everyone has to adapt suitable strategy as per his own requirement. Second thing which we need to understand is that, the brain is a physical entity and mind is an energy entity. We call mind as मन, चेतना या प्राणस्वरूप. Mind remains in constant dynamic state means it is never steady. The dynamic state of mind depends upon the strength of mind. If mind is stronger, it will not be affected by uncertainties and negativity. But if the mind is unstable or weak, it will fall back to every situation, event or episode and become further weak. The connections of brains and immunity of the body therefore depends upon the strength of mind. Stronger the mind, stronger will be the brain and immunity, and weaker the mind, poorer will be the brain and immunity of the body.
I have tried to explain the relationship of brain and mind in a simple and subtle way. One has to weigh his/her own state of mind to develop his/her own strategy, method or relaxation. Each brain can be trained and its connections can be rewired. This is a time taking process but anyone looking to adapt such change has to begin it one day in his/her life-time. I would request you go through this article to understand relationship of your thoughts, mind, body chemistry and rewiring of brain.
Now moving forward, how to choose a suitable method for relaxation?
- Don’t indulge with situations, events, discourses either physically, mentally or emotionally which lead to thoughts of negativity.
- Use yoga, asan, aerobics, dance or any other technique to relax each part of the body.
- Adapt light diet which is easily digestible and increase fluid intake.
- Use meditative techniques to relax the mind. There are hundreds of techniques for meditation.
- Keep on using 1 to 4 as your mind relaxes and brain starts rewiring till you start realising the benefits of mind relaxation.
You have billions of live cells which make-up your body. A few million cells die every minute and a depression, anxiety, body chemistryfew million take birth every minute. The cells which die are more in numbers over those which take birth, and that is how you get aged. Cells die faster if you remain anxious, angry, aggressive, sad and depressed. So the million dollar solution is to retard the death of cells. “if your cells remain happy, they won’t die faster” and this is the solution of relaxation.
It looks difficult but it is not impossible.
