Another way to release tension.

- While I was doing some projects after fashion school, I found myself doing this a lot as I was completely lost many times and pressured with things. I often seek for tranquility and there were a lot of things in my head that I wasn’t aware of , which were all bottled up inside and got stuck in there. This is helpful for those who just got out in a relationship or currently in one but in an unsteady emotional state. I have recommended this to a few of my friends.  This is good if there are issues that you wish to solve with someone but you have no means to say it or face the person. Remember that this is not a tool for mental telepathy. This is just another way of reflection. I think that is why a lot of us has become stagnant because we never even bothered to calm down, think, and reflect with our life.  Keep in mind, that it is very important to connect with yourself.

To begin:

1. Clear your sorrounding.  A clean and orderly place gives a feeling of balance and looks easier on the eye because it’s not chaotic. It’s easier to think when a place is clean.

2. Set the mood. You can light a candle , incense or even put some oil essences. This will help you feel relax and aids you to calm down.

3. Put some music if you wish. Choose instrumental or something classical.

4. Make sure that you pick an area where no one can disturb you.

5. Put your phone on silent mode or turning it off is even better.

6. Sit in a position where you feel really comfortable. I usually do the Indian style position facing the candle and the incense so I can smell the scent in the air perfectly.

7. Take several deep breaths. Inhale and exhale. Inhale and exhale. Breathe slowly and deeply. Do this several times until you have completely calmed down. Feel the music and inhale the scented air.

8. Begin to think of the person you wish to talk to. Think and say everything you wish to by the use of your mind. Say everything that you wish to. Don’t stop and keep yourself from anything. We do not want baggage here. If you feel like crying, then cry all you want. Those tears will help you wash away all those pains that are stored within your being, your soul.

9. If you wish to do this as a way of relieving stress , then you must think of what you have done for the day. You can pray too as well if that would help. Sometimes when you simply pray without doing it properly, it doesn’t seem to ease you at all.

10. To end this , you might want to read an inspirational book.  Read poetry. For me I like  to read from pslams . I do it randomly. I read the first message that I see.

So take your time. No one is in a hurry here. Think, feel and transcend…
