Intensely relaxed

 Intensely relaxed.


As briefly as i can, i have tried to place my experience of decades of physical aspect of my spiritual practices, as a key to growth and progress๐Ÿ™



The word “intense” at once triggers tension in us ๐Ÿ˜‚. That's because of the consequences of today's life situation we face routinely. Psychologically we are enslaved to combining tension with intensity, and have ended up with a disability in separating the two. Unless we become tensed-up we don't become intense. When we are relaxed, we are dull, inattentive and non-alert. 


Spiritual practices yield results in proportion to the level of intensity of our alertness, attentiveness and an utterly relaxed mind. Unless the mind is relaxed( calm and still) the organ brain and its obedient neuro_network is not going to obviate tension at physical levels. Even the subtlest tension opaque the subtle inner experience. No wonder, the most_relaxed posture in “yog” asanas is aptly named as “Corpse posture” ๐Ÿคฃ. A corpse offers no resistance at all, and therefore manages total relaxation ๐Ÿ˜œ. 


I need not attempt here to elaborate on the practices or the ‘practical tips/hints’ about how_to master this intense_relaxation. The functional form differs with each individual, simply because no two minds are alike๐Ÿ˜œ. We create an entire World of our own, with our mind which is unique in itself ๐Ÿ™‚.


A grasp of this concept, might help us to extract maximum yield out of all the practices we undertake on a spiritual path.



For those who are not yet ready for a spiritual quest, this concept, if tested and tried, will help maximize the results of their efforts invested in handling the Material aspect of life. ( Easiest example is, an utterly relaxed mind ensures peak performance of a sportsperson in the world_finals of his sport. Any tension in the mind reduces one's own capabilities proportionately. A sport loses its purpose with a tensed mind๐Ÿ˜œ. And a world_finals is a recipe for tensed mind ๐Ÿ™)
