Meditation for Stress Management - 20 May 09

Swami ji & Michael

Last week one person who is working in a bank came for a healing session. His problem is that when he comes home in the evening he has difficulties to relax. He loves his family and wants to give them much love but because of this hectic and stressful life he often feels that his mind is more in his job even while he is at home. He feels aggressive sometimes and he is living in much pressure.

I said to him that he needed to learn how to switch off his mind. When you come home you should not bring business into the family. meditation is the best practice for this. And this problem is not only his problem, I had another client on the same day, who said the same thing. And he told that all his colleagues have the same problem.

We were talking about this and I told him that I also give this kind of stress-relief and stress management seminars. These seminars are for businesses and corporate people and maybe sometime he will join it. Because in this way you cannot give your family what they deserve and what you want to give them. This is a very common problem and I think meditation is a great technique to help.

Meditation could certainly help people clear their minds when they are stressed. But sometimes they may need someone to talk to about their issues at work and feelings they need to release. People often bring their work issues home because they seek relief in talking to their spouse about their stressful day. Though it's not good to bring the stress of work home, there should be a place and time where everyone can share their feelings and thoughts with someone...It would be nice.

I have experienced before that when I try to empty my mind it gets filled with a dread that I am missing something and that I should be doing something, even during vacations that I've prepared for and finished all my work for. the mind gets so tightly wound that it is hard to feel ok with allowing the cogs to stop turning for a little bit.

Words of Wisdom

  • Trust

    I trust you' is more valuable than 'I love you'.

    Source
  • Money

    Money does not make people rich or poor. Someone who has 1000 Dollars seems rich to someone who only has 100 Dollars whereas he seems poor to a millionaire. Numbers don’t make you rich. Some millionaires whom I consider poor and I have seen people who don’t have money but who, to me, are very rich people because of their big heart and generosity.

    Source
  • Prediction

    Human is just a puppet in a big play. You think you are in charge but there is something bigger than you. Nature, god, the universe, however you want to call it. Even if you know your body, you don’t have full control over it. Nobody knows when, what can happen. Nobody can predict anything.

    Source
  • Stress

    Be relaxed and have fewer expectations on yourself. Look forward Even to things that are important. If you are anxious you will only exhaust yourself with stress which doesn't make anything better.

    Source
  • Sects

    You belong to god, you belong to love. You don’t need to belong to anyone or anything which manipulates your mind and where you lose your freedom of being yourself.

    Source
  • Ego

    People act as though they were humble and in this acting they have a big ego of being the most humble persons of the world. They really think that nobody could be any humbler than they are!

    Source
  • Sects

    Sects create fear. Fear of life, fear of sins, fear of god. Believe in love, not in fear. There is no reason to be afraid. Love is God and God is love

    Source
  • Sex

    Love can exist without sex but sex has to be with love.

    Source
  • Happiness

    When you are happy you can make others happy! Like this you can spread happiness. Give something to others when you are satisfied yourself. That will increase your happiness even more.

    Source
  • Psychology

    It is a funny western idea that you need to have a bad mood, at least from time to time!

    Source
  • Happiness

    Making an effort to make your loved one happy makes you happy. This is love: you want to make your beloved happy.

    Source
  • Addiction

    If you only drink in company but don't want to, realize that this urge comes from outside. Why is the outside controlling you and brings you into a situation that you don’t want? Be strong in yourself.

    Source
  • Personal

    It is good to unfriend or block those who don’t have friendly feelings for you because each time they read any of your posts, they get more annoyed and angry. Save them from anger and bad feelings, don’t spoil their mood and day. Indeed, it is a good deed. :)

    Source
  • Scriptures

    Whenever a scripture of any religion recommends physical punishment, it was written by a man who enjoyed that women and children cannot resist and are physically weaker.

    Source
  • Self-Confidence

    Don’t be overprotective. Lack of self-esteem, indecision and also problems with getting into company of others are the consequences. Don’t overprotect, give freedom and let them make their experiences. They will shape the world of tomorrow, so don’t try to press them into your world. Let them free.

    Source
  • Religion

    Sadhu or Sanyasi means detached. Today's Sadhu ridiculously contradicts his title with his display of gold and wealth!

    Source
  • Religion

    You can turn Hinduism as you like, you can wish for whatever you want, heaven or liberation - it is flexible enough to grant you everything.

    Source
  • Scriptures

    Scriptures were written by normal men. It was their experience but your experience can be very different. With time everything changes. If your experience is different than from what the Bible or the Gita tells you, why don’t you believe in yourself? Why don’t you trust your experience?

    Source
  • Lie

    Don't lie just to please others!

    Source
  • Positivity

    There is always something good in everything.
