Stressing on anything including meditation leads to stress

The solution that is offered becomes a stressor. For example, in any given day, thousands of people are stressed about not having done their meditation routine for the day. Why does one do meditation? To be stress free. But, is that the case here? No.

A human being is many layered

A human being has many bodies. The "physical" body just being one of them. The others are:

  • "pranic" body in which the air circulation happens,
  • "mental" body where inner chatter takes place,
  • "emotional" body that stores emotions,
  • "causal" body in which we rest when we are in deep sleep,
  • "joy" body where we experience joy once in a while in our lives and
  • "bliss" bidt that is untouched by any of the other layers.

The physical body stores patterns of tiredness; pranic body stores desires; mental body stores patterns such as judgement etc; and emotions such as fear and worry get stored in the emotional layer.
