You will be continuously carrying mild tension in your facial muscles, wrists, fingers, neck and back.
Your body is always ready for fight or flight!
Now we are going to take the tension to a peak.
When the tension has been taken to its peak, the only possibility that exists is to fall into relaxation!
When the body relaxes deeply, breath and mind also relax, and you spontaneously fall into meditation.
ACCESSING INFINITE ENERGY
ABOUT THE TECHNIQUE
The body can access three levels of energy.
First-level energy: This is the energy we use in our daily life – for walking, working and other day-to-day affairs. It is only a tiny percentage of the total energy available to us.
Second-level energy: This energy level is accessed only in emergencies. It comes up only when the first layer is exhausted. Other than sportsmen or people in risky professions like rescue operations, most of us never need to use this emergency energy.
Third-level energy: This layer is the energy of the cosmos. It is limitless. We access this layer only very rarely, if at all.
Normally, you always move your body only out of greed or fear. Even when you wake up in the morning, you get out of bed only when you suddenly remember something that has to be done that day! Either because of some desire that you want to fulfil, or out of some fear – maybe you remember your boss' face, or your wife's face!
As long as you act out of greed or fear, you have access only to the first two energy levels. When you act spontaneously, out of inspiration, pure creativity, you access the cosmic level. Because this is the level of infinite energy, you will be continuously fresh and energetic, no matter how much physical work you do.
The following technique is a way to exhaust the first two energy layers and put you directly in contact with the cosmic energy.
Step 1:
Move your body to the point of exhaustion. Just jump up and down, dance, run in circles and jump again until you are totally exhausted. After the first few minutes, your mind will start telling you to stop. Don't pay attention to your mind. These are just the first level samskaras of chronic fatigue opening up. Even if you feel that not a single step can be taken now, keep going! The mind will start screaming to you to stop, to relax. Don't relax! Trust the technique. Keep on throwing your body up and down, keep moving, keep going.
Step 2:
After a while, you will find that suddenly it has become easier! You are not feeling so tired. It means your second level energy has opened up. Your body is running on a new lease of energy. Keep on moving till you are comfortable with this new energy level.
Step 3:
When you are feeling comfortable, mentally relax from the technique. Don't relax from the movement, but relax from your intention to push your body. Just be natural in the movement, as if it is a game. Allow your body to move naturally.
Suddenly you will see that in the middle of all the movement, a still center is created inside you! You are no longer inside the movement, you are witnessing the movement. It is as if the body is moving spontaneously, and you are silent, undisturbed in the center of this current. The movement becomes relaxed and blissful. This is the third level of energy.
Step 4:
There will come a point when the body will relax to the ground without the help of the mind. Let it happen! Don't try to sit or lie down or fall in a proper position. Just drop down gently in a heap, as if the whole body is one and it is falling. When you fall in this way, you will feel for the first time your whole self, your whole being.
Close your eyes and remain this way as long as you wish.
