“It’s a Wrap”
This past week, I was honored to be sponsored by
Shaw Contract and Patcraft’s Healthcare teams,
to teach their customers in Houston, Texas.
This is the third city I have traveled to for Shaw,
to share the knowledge and technique of a
timeless meditation practice that is so essential
for resetting our daily lives.
What a pleasure it is to teach this simple, natural, technique,
that has been taught for thousands of years
to hundreds of thousands
around the world.
From India a week prior, I dropped my bag, did my laundry,
kept my meditation going each day and meditated as much
as I wanted on all legs of travel. The benefits are no jet lag,
clear head, happy demeanor and optimum adaptation energy.
All from one simple technique.
Meditation is so relevant in these days of overthinking, over
stimulation, clocking too many computer hours, overuse,
shifts in design practices and understaffing.
All of these lead to the dulling of our mind, our clarity and
the simple joy in living, that seems unreachable.
And results in a stressed-being parent and partner.
Any time you feel stressed, you’ll have a myriad of
body sensations.
We actually don’t store stress in the mind.
We store it in the body.
So stress is a reaction.
In the 1930’s, Hans Selye, an endocrinologist,
defined stress as a body abnormality or imbalance,
caused by an overload of experience.
When we get overloaded, we get stressed.
We all have a certain level of adaptation energy,
which acts like a bank balance.
It goes up and down each day and it determines
whether we get stressed or not.
The one thing that can mitigate this stress tendency is rest.
There’s a one-to-one relationship between the two.
The quickest and easiest way to rest and reset
is to sit two times a day
in Vedic meditation.
Then the magic begins. Pure Creative Intelligence.
Thank you Houston, for your time and energy!
