Disengage the mind

 Disengage the mind 

🤣

Funny title, I concede…

And, an effort in vain, when we want to do it.

When we didn't even wish, boredom disengages the mind 😜

I don't know, but I can wonder, if the BP patients might find their alarming numbers getting it slightly lower when they are under a grip of severe boredom 😜 ( I am not blessed with high BP as yet, 😥…and therefore cannot experiment it by_myself without causing a needless_boredom on the readers reading this🙏)

I am neither blessed with boredom 😭, and it might be appropriate to call me a freak, on this_count😓

Now, you can guess why such freak blogs emit from me occassionally 😜👍

I underwent a guided meditation, in which one of the prescription is to CONSCIOUSLY create tension in just one part/limb of the body and then relax it 🤣 . I thoroughly enjoyed this exercise 👍 . My monkey_mind loved the process👍  create_tension, when people around are taking tablets, capsules , pills, drugs, medicines ( dunno, why each are different!) etc, to avoid_tension 😳

Monkey mind🙏

I decided to try it at office, in the midst of hectic busy work, while trying to locate errors in a maze of numbers ( figure work), being a Bank_clerk! I was surprised. I didn't have to ‘tense’ my face!😳 I could ‘notice’ the neck muscles and the head about it already tensed! So, relaxing it was the only ‘needed action’ 👍. I relaxed my neck and head CONSCIOUSLY. ( My practice at the guided meditations came_handy, 😜…having done it a few hundred times!!! ). 

The surprise was, the mind got disengaged from the stupid_needless_thought “I must locate the error!”.....  That's what I am doing,! Why then chant it like “I must find it, I must locate it”????  Now, my mind is better focused at ‘looking' for it. 

It worked 🙏 

I could locate( what I was looking for) a bit easier, maybe a little earlier too… but, for sure, I needed to spend lesser CALORIES 🤣.

Monkeys are fuel_efficient 😳

Any time ( at a zoo or elsewhere) I could observe, monkeys sit utterly relaxed. Their fingers and wrist just hang, unlike us who hold it stiff, all_the_time! We step on the accelerator and the brake simultaneously 😓, quite unawares. More fuel is required to move.  Monkey mind, I think I needn't feel embarrassed to concede. I relax, the next moment, I finish a muscular movement at any physical task. Only the ‘thought' needed a break, stepping onto ‘brake’ pedal, so that the fuel of my calories isn't getting wasted🙏

I don't know if it can work for others ( readers). But if it works, psychiatrists, pharma guys get a reason to curse_me 🤣. Illegitimate curses don't work on me👍🙏. And for my age now, physical assaults don't matter much👍

Try?

Whenever, we get a space of 3 seconds….

First second, focus on any part of our body ( facial muscles is the easiest, with eyes closed till we count 3)

Second second…. relax the part( face) CONSCIOUSLY 

Third second: forget the whole thing 😜 ( I know, this may sound ridiculously simple, but remember some wise guy's proverb : Simple isn't always easy😭).

Nothing to lose, except a little blood pressure 👍

Gains? Your most priceless gadgets, our own dear body, gets a bit of love & care, it had always deserved 🙏

Stupidly yours,

Postscript: once we get used to disengaging the  mind, we are armed with a power to get rid of garbage in our mind isn't it? ( Less luggage, more comfort — railways wrote it🙏)
