2,200 years old timeless wisdom
"Those who understand the principles of wholesome living tame their minds and prevent them from straying. They do not force anything upon themselves or others, are happy & content, tranquil & quiet, and can live indefinitely. These are the ancient methods of self-maintenance." - From "Huangdi Neijing - The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Medicine"

Relax
Relaxation is one of the most complex phenomena. It is very rich and multidimensional. Just relax and let things be as they are, that is the meaning of meditation.
To learn about the value of relaxation, experience intense stress and tension: Tension means hurry, fear, doubt - a constant effort to protect, to be secure, to be safe, to prepare for the tomorrow now.
Relaxation is an art: like other arts, the more you practice the more proficient you become. The more relaxed you are physically, the easier it is to relax mentally. Gradually and gently, slow down every process. Don’t be in a hurry, don’t be in haste, don't seek, don't demand - relax. If you relax, things magically fall in place.
Total relaxation is the ultimate and possible. It brings the greatest joy, acceptance. Your life will have the quality of dance to it.
