Translation Draft
Here we come to the post number 366. A number, 366. So many days he has a leap year... Interesting?!? But, let's get to work!
An important part of the process of relaxation through auditory methods is related to language (I have invested many days in making posts about the language of the conscious, the subconscious and the whole). So, even if it seems that I will come back, I will "discuss" them a little more in this preparatory "meeting" of relaxation.
The words we use and you will hear (on the audio recording you will make, from the person who assists you or those in your mind, depending on the technique / process you will practice) are labels given to the processes of deactivation from reality, and not reality itself. Any person who observes himself discovers that after walking a greater distance (or less, depending on his physical availability) he feels his legs "heavy as lead".
Like this perception, one can become aware of any form of fatigue after a certain effort, such as the case of the fatigue that precedes sleep that should be noticed by the one who trains to pilot the conscious deactivation of the bodies or shells of the vehicle we are using. And so we end up having the words at our fingertips that we're going to use as vectors or suggestions. Let's not forget that words are sound symbols to indicate the sensations, feelings and subjective images that we must evoke, visualize or remember/ remember.
So imagine the words you're going to hear as labels stuck to jars. And then, you realize that we are not interested at all in the labels on the jars, but what they describe, designate, what is actually, real in these jars (images, sensations, memories, feelings). An old Taoist saying, also repeated in Zen Buddhism, says that "one word is but the finger that shows the moon, and not the moon itself."
Therefore, during the training we must never force ourselves, the sensations and feelings of relaxation should not be obtained or maintained by coercion, forcing or fighting (because this is no longer relaxation). We must allow ourselves to "let go", to move naturally from one sensation to another, from one area to another, as if we were taking a quiet walk, as if we were seeing a movie. Even more, we must let the inner experiences come naturally. Let's wait for them to come by themselves, let's wait for them to happen. We need to try to represent our suggestive formulas (my right arm is increasingly difficult) in the form of sensations, either visual or auditory, for example, as a bright ad on a screen lit in the dark (about the technique of visual imagery I will give details in future posts) or as a painting, as a melody (which can also be listened to real, correlative to our efforts of "fixation", because these processes represent, in fact, a voluntary, premeditated construction of useful anchors), an exhortation (slogan) that is shouted, etc. (each after the maximum compatibility detected related to these procedures).
It is not about thinking about an idea but, effectively, about visualizing it, leaving us absorbed by the evoked (visualization) and the imaginative products corresponding to different suggestive forms / formulas, as when we contemplate the beauty of a landscape in amazement or as when we are absorbed in a reverie. Moreover, it is not the case to focus on a formula and strive to do everything right from the beginning because it will result only in a parasitic strain (likely to cause headaches due to the energetic disturbances and tensions it attracts) that damages the entire relaxation process.
It is preferable to wait comfortably for the installation of the sensations that we imagine even if we move away from the standard formulas (but, thus, we approach the formulas most compatible with what we are, following that, through evolution, through evolution, through the progress attracted by our perseverance in the sense of evolution, we will come to perceive the standard formulas as those that identify us or to use further than our formulas clearly superior to the standard ones) if we enrich thus the "visions or inner sensations" that feed the onset of "inner vision" and / or "inner hearing". And, if everything happens naturally, naturally and effortlessly (by itself), there is a process of rewriting the information existing at the level of our conscious and unconscious, a process technically called "of sowing" and of extending by itself the general state, which will lead to an "organic" generalization of the state of relaxation.
Jesus referred to this "congregation," or generalization, when he spoke of "the transformation into leaven of the mixture of flour and water," or when he was referring to Christian prayer (assimilable to other forms of prayer). He said that, in a prayer, the words many or repeated aimlessly, if they are not accompanied by affective, cognitive and somatic participation (alignment of attentions), by the experience of what we say, if we do not evoke the sensations that the words designate, everything has no purpose ("A prayer that is said from the tip of the tongue or with the voice of the thought is a sum of words in the wind; but it is only the prayer spoken from the bottom of the soul that reaches God").
Then, the words that are used in prayer suggest isolating, internalizing, or detaching from the phenomenal world, settling "in body and mind" (Luke: 12:31-40), devotion, surrender, abandonment of one's own ego to divinity, and focusing attention on what we do "now and here." "When you ask that you should not be the hypocrites who pray standing in the synagogues (churches, mosques or other places of worship, my note) and at the corners of the streets to be seen by men. Verily I say unto you, They have taken their reward. But you, when you pray, enter into your room, lock the door, and pray to your Father who is then with you alone; and your Father shall hear thee only, and shall reward thee."
Or, in other words, "When you pray, do not mutter words, like the heathen (those who do not really believe, who conform only to some rituals, my note) to whom it seems that if I say a lot of words they will be listened to! Do not be like them! For your Father knows what you need, before you ask him" (Matthew 6:5-7). The prayer "our father" appeals to words that evoke surrender before the divine, abandoning one's own interest, isolating from the outside world, forgiving one's fellows, reconciliation, gratitude, consciousness and watching.
The state in which the one who prays is located is similar to the paradoxical waking state, which we encounter in the mystical trance, in the occult isolation and in the hypnotic trance. In this state there is also a mother who, although apparently asleep and is not disturbed by any external noise, is still awakened by stopping the breathing of her baby (newborn). In the same paradoxical state is the passenger who falls asleep on the train, not being disturbed by the noises but who wakes up at each stop, to see if his train has reached its destination.
The paradoxical waking state is born, like hypnotic trance or mystical trance (enstaza, in Sanskrit "samadhi") by focusing all attention (in Sanskrit "dharana") on a unique stimulus or considered of unique importance at a given time. Jesus tells us of this very condition when he exhorts to watch: "And be as men who are waiting for their master to return from the wedding, to open them at once, when he comes and knocks on the door. So let you also be ready, for the Son of man will come in the hour when you do not think" (Luke: 12:31-40), in which the mind is suspended. So, if you have a concern (expectation, expectation, design in the future) apart from what you do "here and now", there will be your attention: "For where your treasure (attachment, identification, care) is, there is also your heart (care)."
In the relaxation training developed by J.H. Schultz, called "autogene training", verbal suggestions are used that suggest the installation of the feeling of heaviness in a segment of the body to trigger relaxation or decrease in strain or muscle tone (characteristic of the parasympathetic autonomic activity). In order to trigger vasodilation or relaxation of blood vessels, it is suggested the appearance of heat sensations in that area, towards the one that we focus our attention. So, if we stick to words or verbal labels (the label on the jar, previously suggested) we are prisoners in the left, analytical hemisphere.
But if we turn our attention to their meaning (the contents of the jar) we mobilize the visualization capacity, imagination, attention or experience of memories, experiences or sensory experiences that we have stored in memory and we also begin to function with the hemisphere that analogally processes information (the right hemisphere). Don't forget that our mind doesn't really make the difference between reality and the imaginary (as we have outlined in many previous posts)! The result of this mode of action makes us use more of the power of our brain, of our power. It is something similar to reading a thrilling book that follows a path for a Western reader (with a materialistic general orientation, logically forced, with the dominant activity of the left hemisphere) together with an oriental reader (with a general spiritual orientation, imaginatively forced, with the dominant activity of the right hemisphere).
The Westerner makes an initial effort to read and interpret words (left cerebral activity) and then visually translates what he has read (right cerebral activity) but with the stigma of constant analysis and confirmation of the predominant activity, with reference to the interpretative-logical one, if I may say so, more precisely the left hemisphere. The Oriental follows the same path but obviously goes over the barriers of logic leaving the imagination free due to the predominant functioning of the left hemisphere. So, in the first case, the Westerner often goes through a sum of words and retains only the critical efforts that limit the imagination, while the Oriental retains only what he processed the imagination.
Or, in both cases we are talking about man, the spatial placement being forced by the course of logic, by the predominant activity. That is why there are clear differences between the beliefs of the West and those of the East. But, that's not where I wanted to go. What needs to be understood from this is that uniting the way beliefs work is the key to unity, to real progress. Incidentally, this has been done intuitively, instinctively for some time now.
So, here are enough arguments to understand that, without the participation of both hemispheres, we listen in vain to the word "weight", or "heat" or we repeat unnecessarily verbal formulas such as "my right arm is increasingly heavier, like a lead, like a cloth soaked in water" or "my arm is getting warmer, more and more slack with heat". The training of relaxation, of deactivation, of putting in vascular relaxation, will give results much faster if we manage to remember what we felt when we inserted the right hand in a basin with warm water, or if we manage to mobilize our imagination to begin to perceive, to feel a sensation of warmth, of slackness and of heaviness in the designated area (it would not be a mistake to do this before these relaxing sessions, to have the current sensations until this is no longer necessary, i.e. to put your hand in warm water).
Research has shown that any thought that anticipates a movement of a segment of our body is preceded by an electrical signal sent to the area that will be activated, moved (EMG - electromyographic detection). So, no brain activity remains without a somatic response (and not only – the answers are possibly manifestable at any level of functionality of our organism, without taking into account the physiological level and, of course, the material one, in the true proper sense of the term – moreover, there are already studies that confirm the fact that this "ante-reaction" is all-present in the human functionality, as a whole, even asking the question of whether we or something else is doing this – but, these are what we have discussed in previous posts).
In this regard I can present an example of a simple experiment. It consists of placing an adult on the back on a horizontal plank, supporting in the middle on a support. After the horizontal balancing is achieved, the person is asked to make a simple mathematical calculation, something like (7+8*4/5= "how much"). Immediately it will be found that the blood, which mobilizes in the head area, causes the change of the center of gravity and the imbalance of the plank. If the person seated is asked to watch a screen on which an erotic movie is running, it will immediately be noticed that the writing will be unbalanced in the opposite direction. This proves that no concrete action is needed for our body to react and, at the same time, reinforces the statement that where our attention goes our energy goes (in the case of the experiment, blood and "efforts" to respond).
And now, the surprise... Through simple calculations, knowing the physiology of the human body (in our case the one related to the circulatory system) it can be determined whether we had to deal with a response reaction or with an anticipated reaction. And, as I said, surprise, the reaction of the body, in the totality of the cases subjected to the experiment, was an anticipatory one, the phenomenon of the "movement" of the center of gravity manifesting itself before the one that would have "benefited" from the real speed of response of our organism. But these are details that only interest you from the point of view in which you understand that everything happens before it manifests itself and, of course, to understand why you can act before something happens. Even when we imagine something, everything happens before we perceive, even imaginatively, those images... But, let's go back!
The body (muscle tone, blood circulation, respiratory rhythm, or any other functional landmark) is a mirroring or a kind of display screen, on which psycho-affective changes are projected. For example, every respiratory rhythm is a feedback, a display of the brain rhythms that we have entered or in which we find ourselves. In the case of this example, with the mother and the child, we are dealing with a communication language called tonic-functional, nonverbal language. It underlies the functioning of our entirety, as I have described in previous posts, it can be discovered by any man who observes himself (well, with some understanding that he can have or take it by going through the information, my previous posts – because this process of self-observation requires, in addition to relaxation, disconnection, detachment and attention, and presence, consciousness, knowledge and understanding – as we have seen). So, in order to achieve disconnection, detachment, deactivation or resting, it is useless to say or listen to the words (even in thought – although each word has its energy and there is some manifestation also through the "simple practice of their existence") without paying attention to what is behind them, to what they designate.
So, if we don't really get involved, through all that we are, if we turn our attention to subjective realities, which these verbal labels evoke (sensations, visualizations, feelings) when we pronounce out loud or in thought (or listen, in the case of auditory riding) words such as "I feel a feeling of heaviness in my feet as when I kept them underwater in a bathtub", "I feel slackness, surrender, abandonment", "I let go, I let go of my breath free", "I free myself, I forgive myself and I forgive myself, I reconcile with myself, I abandon myself to a state of contentment, of gratitude", "I enter an oasis of tranquility", "I feel the peace, calm and reconciliation", "I notice that I am no longer interested in anything from the outside", "I am a pure presence that follows the thoughts that come and go like clouds in the sky" it is obvious that we will do nothing but waste time, to amplify the existing /present "pressure" of the moment. If you can not remember any of these sensations (heaviness, slackness) exercises are practiced to raise awareness of the difference between tension and relaxation there is no point in wasting time "now".
The time comes when you will be defeated or you will want more than you live, and you will make the necessary efforts to understand, to feel, and then you will succeed (if the way through this dimension will allow you –for: "Only he who, with the will of the Lord, has the right to do so, will rejoice in the fruits of his labors")...
Thank you also for your patience today! I will fight with you and me tomorrow!
