Release

Mandalas “Release” Your body becomes armoured when you feel tense, anxious, or defensive. If you are hard on yourself, you may be critical of others, too. Releasing your body armouring can help you change your habitually harsh attitude to yourself and others.

One aim of meditation is to learn to give up a lifelong habit of trying to shape situations to suit yourself. This attitude is a real psychological limitation. Learning to let go of manipulation and control can be difficult and painful, however, as it challenges your long-standing self-image. Attempting to control produces physical tension.

This mandala encourages a soft belly, where you release accumulated tension in the lower abdomen. You may follow this meditation with personal power if you then want to build energy in the hara, or body’s power center.

Meditation on Release

1. Relax in a sitting position without dropping and breathe in and out for some minutes. Slow down your breathing and let each breath sink into your belly, so it rises and falls. Continue until you lose track of time.

2. Draw the air down into your abdomen, and hold your breath. Imagine a ball of light and heat, like a sun sitting in your belly. Let your belly absorb the warmth, softening and relaxing.  Encourage the warm rays of the sun to spread through your body and limbs and to diffuse outward, softening your whole being.

3. Let the sun illuminate a shimmering crescent moon, nestling inside the sun and sending a refreshing cool breeze out of your belly. Breathe in this cool breeze and soften your belly as the rays of the sun and moon entwine to fill your being.

Just Release! Clear, Balance and Heal!

” The Soul is on this Earth or it’s own delight.”

“The Soul is on this Earth or it’s own delight. Consider this amazing possibility: You incarnated on this earth just to experience the joy of being alive. Do you even know what gives you joy? Do something about that today.”

Guide Book additional Message: Sometimes the simplest wisdom is the hardest to acknowledge-like the fact that pleasure and joy can be beneficial to your health. When mystical poets such as Rumi and Kabir use objects of beauty and delight, like roses or wine, as metaphors for the Divine, they’re subtly linking the excitement of Earthly pleasures with Divine enjoyment. Recent medical research seems to agree that what pleases us-beautiful music, delicious food, and soothing aromas-can also improve our health and help us resist illness. Internalizing the world of natural beauty with the soul’s capacity of joy expressed in these sayings (the first two from the Sufi poet Rumi, the third from a Chinook prayer) helps us harmonize with the aesthetic balance and pleasure they provide. As the Christian mystic Meister Eckhart points out, things in themselves are never bad, only our propensity to become attached to them to the point whee we can’t easily let them go.

Cynthia`s Comments: I have realized myself when I get flowers, a complement, a new out fit, or a gift; just to name a few, I do feel better and I am happier. I remember that it was my birthday and I was feeling blue, they kids did not say anything in the morning, nor did my husband. But by mid afternoon, my daughter gave me some flowers, my husband also gave me flowers after he came home from work and friends called and I got a lot of Birthday wishes on my Facebook page. I noticed that through out the day from feeling blue in the morning to letting that feeling go and becoming more and more happier through out the day. I did not realize that I was loved and cared about that much. Just a simple pleasures can help with your health. Today is a really good day to start by just giving someone a single flower, take out your friend for lunch, or maybe even make them lunch, give your children a hug and let them know how much you love them and then give them a small amount of money just because or have something they always what and give it to them. It is a great day just to sit and have a glass of wine at the end of the day and just sit and breath deeply. I do believe that simple and big pleasure can help in the healing of the body, mind and soul. When we are happy, your vibrational energy changes and helps make the body, mind, and soul more in balance and when that happens the body, mind and soul heals in a wonderful way.

So go out today and have a simple pleasure and enjoy what your life has to offer you!

“Forgiveness means more to God than sacrifice”.

“Forgiveness means more to God than sacrifice.Forgive one person today. Open your heart to that person, and release unnecessary suffering from the past. Feel the peace that follows from this simple act”.

Guide Book additional Message: This insight ties together the Jewish tradition contained in the Hebrew Bible with the teaching of Jesus from the New Testament. In the book of the prophet Hosea (6:6), written during the last years of northern kingdom of Israel, God speaks directly: “For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings.” The message was clear: The old rituals of animal sacrifice to placate a vengeful God were to be replaced by an emphasis on compassion for one’s neighbor. When asked to name the most important commandment of the hundreds listed in the Torah, Jesus singled out two teaching that emphasize—Love of God and Love of neighbor. And when the Pharisees questioned why he would eat the “tax collectors and sinners, ” Jesus challenged them back by quoting Hosea: “Go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners” (Matt. 9:12-13). That transition in the Jewish and Christian traditions, from fear to love as a basis for relating to the Divine as well as to other human being, has become the starting point for most of today’s spiritual teachers. But their insights owe a lot to the teachers and prophets who preceded them.

“Happy is the one who attends to the needy”.

“Happy is the one who attends to the needy. How easily are you irritated by the needs of others? Give away some of your time today, but not in a therapeutic sense. Attending to the needy also includes surprise acts of kindness.”

Guide Book additional Message: The first saying, from Psalm 41 of the Hebrew Bible or Old Testament, offers an astute psychological insight that is recognized increasingly today. Absorption in our own troubles, or in our unending need for gratification, creates a negative momentum that can lead not only to narcissism, but to addictive and high-risk behavior as well. When we move the focus of out attention from ourselves to others, we also remove an enormous burden from out backs–the need to satisfy our unrealistically high expectations. As the Dalai Lama might put it, compassion is its own reward.

“The Divine dwells within you, and desires that you heal”.

“The Divine Dwells within you, and desires that you heal. Are you fully aware of that Presence? Call upon the power to the Divine to awaken Its healing force within you. Be grateful for this miracle.”

Guide Book additional Message: The Indian philosophy of Vedana holds that the supreme Self, the essence of each individual that is directly connected with God, is perfect in itself. If we simply allow it to manifest, we will maintain both spiritual and physical health. This sense of the Divine with in recalls. St. Paul’s statement:”I live now, not I, but Christ lives in me” (Galatians 2:20). The first of these two passages, from a modern-day interpreter of Ayurveda, sounds a similar theme: If the soul is already perfect (except for the fact that we don’t fully realize it), then so is the body. It has the power to heal itself if we get out of its way ans allow it to work naturally, rather than confusing it with medicines ans food additives. In extreme cases, of course, we may need to intervene with drastic measures. But the idea is to minimize the use of artificial healing agents so that traumatic illnesses are less likely to occur.

Stress and other emotional factors are believed to play a major role in low back pain, particularly chronic low back pain. Many people unconsciously tighten their back muscles when they are under stress, studies revealed.

Low back pain is used to describe a range of symptoms. Depending on the cause, low back pain may be dull, burning, or sharp. It may be felt at a single point or over a broad area.

It can come on gradually or suddenly and may occur with muscle spasms or stiffness.

Back pain can either be acute or chronic. Acute lasts for less than three months and most people gain relief after about 4 to 6 weeks of home treatment.

Chronic on the other hand lasts longer than three months.

Experts said stress causes tense muscles which are tight and feel “hard” to the touch.

People who are stressed often have neck, shoulder, and low back pain. This may be caused by constant tension in the muscle because of stress. Stress also affects rheumatoid arthritis.

Easy remedies:
For chronic back pains, simple home remedies will ease the pain. Applying ice for 5 to 15 minutes every two or three hours will do a lot of help. Taking a hot shower or using a heating pad or hot water bottle can do wonders for some.

Others opt the fast and easy relief from pain medicines like Tramadol. Taking Tramadol on a regular schedule usually works best instead of waiting until the pain is severe.  A number of online pharmacies including drugstoretm.com. carry Tramadol.

For the first day or two, rest in a comfortable position. Try lying on your side with a pillow between your knees. Or lie on your back on the floor with a pillow under your knees.

Medical experts advise patients to get back to their normal activities as soon as possible. Movement helps your muscles stay strong. Staying in bed for more than 1 or 2 days, they said, can actually make the problem worse.

Walking is the simplest and perhaps the best exercise for the lower back.

However, if symptoms are severe or pain does not stop even after two weeks of self care, it is best to consult a doctor. Stronger pain medicines and physical therapy may be necessary.
Strive to make your lives stress-free as stress is one of the main causes of back pains.

Cynthia’s Comments:

I agree that when you get back pain because of stress, you can use some easy remedies like ice, and heat; but it is important that you use them wisely and when it is deemed too. If you just got a sore back today then

use ice first for the first three days. There is always inflammation when that occurs after a injury. Then after that you can use cold and hot, usually 10 minutes each, twice to three times a day.  I do not agree that an easy relief is meditation, because it is like a bandage on a sore; it helps for now but it hurts more when you ripe off the bandage and the sore is still there. I would always try the natural way first; Ice, peppermint essential oil massage blend, self-massage, Trigger point self-massage,heat, and rest. There is also another natural way to help a sore back is breathing. Deep breathing for pain relief. It is very easy; settle your self and take a slow deep breath in and hold just for a second and the

n slow and very slowly breath out.  Do this deep breathing until the sharp pain is gone. If you have tried all of these natural healing remedies than I would try medication. Please read direction carefully when using any kind of medications. It is also very important that you never stop moving when you have any kind of back pain, unless the pain gets worse and worse go see your medical Doctor as soon as possible or go to the emergency. Always listen to what your body; it is trying to tell you something! Just remember there are no side effects in trying all natural first. To all of you with back pain, take the Natural Healing Journey first, You will be pleasantly surprised!

Here is a great book to help you with your back pain naturally:
