Resistance is Futile

I'm sure just about everyone out there has heard the term "resistance is futile". This doesn't just apply to war cries, but to our thoughts and emotions as well. Most of us try to avoid our "bad" feelings and emotions by methods such as running from them, stuffing them back down or repressing them, using drugs and/or alcohol, overeating, watching too much TV, etc. These methods hardly solve the problem at all in the long run. In fact, it could make the problem even worse. While we may temporarily feel better, these feelings won't just go away by magic, they need to be dealt with properly.

So what is the proper way to deal with these feelings? Well, let me start out by stating that some form of distraction such as exercising or anything else to distract you from your feelings is healthy in moderation. Sometimes you just need to get your mind on something else. However, there are many different methods for permanently letting go of that which is distressing you. I will discuss a few of these methods throughout the rest of this article.

First and foremost, you must accept that you are having these feelings. Now when I say accept these feelings, I don't mean accept them as who you are or how you act, nor am I talking about accepting that they are a burden for you that nothing can be done about. What I mean is just accepting the fact that you are having this particular feeling and just letting it be there without any judgment. Also, if you can, allow yourself to really dive into this feeling as much as possible and simply observe it, almost like you are an outside observer. Just simply let it be there and watch it with curiosity. And if the feeling begins to change, continue watching it with curiosity like you would while being deeply intrigued by a good movie. These feelings can't hurt you, they are only feelings. The resistance to these feelings is what causes most of the discomfort. Remind yourself of these two statements as you continue to just let it be.

By doing these methods, you open yourself up to letting the feelings go easier. Even just doing this a half hour a day will help you get a better feel for it. With time and practice, these feelings will have less of a cling, and you'll be able to let them go that much easier and allow releasing to become more of a part of your life. Your physical health will most likely improve as well since stuck emotions are now known to be a major cause of illness. These are a few of the many methods that can be applied to any feelings you have in order to improve any area of your life that you would like to improve.

The Lazy Man's Way To Meditate And Gain Faster Results Than Ever

Most people know that meditation can bring an expanded consciousness and make one feel more spiritual. While this is great in and of itself, it also has many practical uses regarding one's general health and well being. For instance, did you know that meditation reduces stress, blood pressure, heart disease, anxiety, increases mental abilities, focus, concentration, longevity, reverses aging, relieves emotional problems, and a host of other great benefits? It can even help one to overcome sickness and disease.

One of the major contributing factors to all physical disease, including cancer, begins with one's emotional and stress levels. While prescription drugs and surgery have saved the lives of many people, many doctors fail to take into consideration the root causes of the sickness. The drugs only treat the symptoms of the condition, not the whole cause of it. And without getting down to the root, it doesn't actually "cure" the illness, it merely treats it. There have been many case studies of people healing themselves by clearing away any emotional issues that are within. I'd still recommend going to your doctor for any illness, but also try a holostic approach to healing as well which includes meditation, yoga, accupuncture, natural herbs and supplements, etc. The supplements in and of themselves have healed many people of extreme cases of cancer, even after their primary medical doctor told them there was nothing else they could do and that they only had months to live.

So with all these great benefits of meditating, why isn't everyone doing it? Well for one thing, people are very busy these days and don't have time (or don't make time) to sit there and meditate. Plus it can take years and years to be able to reap the great benefits that meditation offers. I have been graced to find this technology known as binaural beats which induce deep states of meditation in your brain with little effort on my part. I used to be very anxious and depressed, but this technology has helped me to overcome this and I am generally much calmer and things don't stress me out as easily. I also feel healthier and more creative. All I do is listen to the soundtracks for a half hour to an hour each night before going to sleep (you can even fall asleep while listening and it still has a positive effect) and I feel more relaxed and calm while listening. And even better, the more you expose yourself to this, the more at ease you eventually become and permanent changes take place within you. The best part is that it doesn't take years upon years to notice the positive effects in your everyday living as it does with traditional meditation.
