Relaxation Technique to Help Manage Stress, Anxiety and Anger

Feeling off-centred and knocked off your feet? 

Meditation can draw you closer to God and help to grow you spiritually. Just the act of being still and sitting in solitude can literally change your life.  As you sit and meditate, bring your attention and awareness to your breathing, your mantra or your mental picture.

Once you have mastered these techniques, use them frequently in your daily meditation and times of stress, anxiety, depression, or anger to release calmness into your being. Indulge your Mind, Body and Soul.

Just a word of caution, just as Satan tempted Jesus after he completed his 40 days of fasting and meditation in the wilderness, so will your own temptations and troubles increase after meditation.  The devil is constantly at war with peace.  He does not want you to have it.  Don't stop meditating or get concerned or worried.  Just know that it is the devil at work, and he has to do his job, and so do you. Don't let him win. Stay focused, motivated and determined.

Are you experiencing difficulties manifesting what you want? Constantly worrying about the direction your life is taking or whether you are making the right choices?  Do you feel confused about your purpose in life?  Are you moving forward with confidence?  Try these techniques to release doubts and fears:

Mindfulness Meditation:

Practice mindfulness meditation to bring your attention to the present moment. This can help you observe your thoughts and fears without judgment.

Focus on your breath or a specific point of attention, and when doubts or fears arise, acknowledge them without getting entangled in them. This practice can create a mental space between you and your anxious thoughts.

Positive Affirmations:

Use positive affirmations to challenge and replace negative thoughts. Create a list of empowering statements and repeat them regularly. For example, if you doubt your abilities, affirmations like "I am capable and strong" can gradually shift your mindset and build confidence.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Techniques:

Identify and challenge negative thought patterns through techniques commonly used in CBT. Question the evidence for your fears and doubts, consider alternative interpretations, and reframe negative thinking into more balanced and realistic perspectives.

Visualization:

Use guided visualization to imagine successful outcomes and positive scenarios. Envision yourself overcoming challenges and achieving your goals. This technique can help rewire your brain to focus on positive possibilities rather than dwelling on fears and doubts.

Action Planning:

Break down your goals into smaller, manageable tasks. Create a step-by-step action plan to achieve them.

By focusing on concrete actions, you can build a sense of accomplishment and reduce the overwhelming nature of larger goals. This can also provide evidence of your capabilities, counteracting doubts.

Remember that these techniques may not yield immediate results, and consistency is key. 

Also, know that as you meditate, you will encounter some ugliest about yourself. Unwanted thoughts will come and go.  Try not to focus on them; simply let them drift away or out of your mind.  Just find your center and focus on the light.  Focus your vision on your third eye—the spot between your two eyes, or the rise and fall of your belly. Close your two natural eyes and look within. Accept yourself entirely with patience and kindness. Struggling to let go of "unwanted" thoughts will make it worse—so make peace with your thoughts.

Taking a few moments of silence to reflect and meditate is calm, peaceful and relaxing.  They will soon become the most precious and beautiful part of your day.  Soon you will come to look forward to this time of tranquillity. Choose one of the techniques that you think you will benefit from the most, and practice it until you no longer need the videos as a guide.
