Soul Sustenance

Stress Management

There are some false beliefs about stress that we have acquired:

"Stress is something physical and some relaxation and a little rest will make it go away"

Truth: The reason this myth has so much power in the world is that we think we are only physical forms and that, if we relax our bodies, our minds will follow. But it actually happens the other way round - by relaxing the mind, the body follows suit. That's not to say we don't need to look after our bodies, we do, the body is our temple, our vehicle, our costume. Without it, we would not be able to talk to each other and create our life experience. So perhaps it's time to get wiser and cut down on the consumptions and activities that are aimed at the goal of relaxation.

The root cause of all stress can be found in the non-physical dimension of thoughts and feelings. Physical treatments, therapies and relaxation strategies may relieve some symptoms, but they cannot change the way you think. Your thinking is the cause. And behind your thoughts, your beliefs are a deeper cause.
