No matter how much we like to believe otherwise, we all have our bad days, days where we just want to wallow in our aches and pains. I recently went through a couple of those days. As I look at what was happening, I now realize that I was resisting lessons that the universe was trying to send me. The more we resist, the more lessons continue.

Without going immediately into a rehash of the drama, I wanted to convince myself was to blame all my problems (it could not be that I created the problem by resisting what was happening, OH NO, I could not do that to myself, yah right), I found that the last few days have been an excellent reminder of a very important lesson, resistance is futile.

Stress is one of the most emotional, mental and physical health concerns of our society today. When we resist the things we create stress, stop the resistance, and we stop or reduce stress. An easy way to conceptualize this is to take your left hand and hold it up, palm facing right. Now take your right hand, shape it into a fist and push against the palm of left hand. Then with all your might push fist against the palm, but does not allow the palm to be pushed aside, just keep creating stronger and stronger force between the two hands. This force is an example of the strength of stress caused by resistance forces. Now just drop your left hand and you will notice that the fist moves without resistance and force stress is gone. Proceed as you read this article, give it a chance, it is an excellent lesson in virtue of the stress created by the opposition.

As I look back at my life I find that this lesson has come in many shapes, I'd like to share with you now. The first great lesson began when I was around 14 years old.

I, like many people have experienced stress in the form of addictive behavior in my family. My answer was to keep all the emotion of anger and bitterness that I created in response to the addictive behavior. As we all know that emotions are simply energy, and when I created more and more energy, and then suppressed, it needed some kind of business to be unleashed. (Energy does not just disappear, it can change form but it does not just disappear, so oppresses it does not make it go away). My energy began to express themselves through the physical manifestation of gall bladder problems. Finally when I turned 18 my gall bladder had been Extended, full of stones, and was no longer work. It had to be surgically removed. If only I had known more about the underlying causes of physical problems at the moment I have been able to prevent the need for surgical removal, as was I had no other choice then to have the diseased organ removed.

The Drs. remarked several times that it was unusual for a man of my young age to experience such a radical problem, and even back in those times (70's) before the body mind connection was so widely accepted as it is now, I was asked if I was experiencing a lot of stress at home. At the time I was not willing or able to admit that the source of stress or the fact that I had suppressed my stress if I had been able to open, I could have decreased the resistance and worked towards a healthy solution. Resistance is futile!

The next lesson that comes to mind a bit more dramatic and immediate, but due to the evolution of my ability to relax and not resist, and the result was far more positive.

A day before I turned twenty – five, I gave her consent to go on my first run. A young woman had asked me to go with her for several weeks and I finally gave in to her requests.

She leads me along a path that included jogging down the left side of an access road. Well I have to tell you that I do not hear very well in my right ear, and when I heard a car coming up from behind us, I thought it was on the left side of us, I pushed my companion into a ditch, and I jumped right and thought that this would give the car a path in between us. What actually happened is that I jumped right in the middle of a car doing forty miles an hour. I felt a bump and started to go under the car, but because of daily exercises of mediation / self-hypnosis during the past two years, I quickly realized that there was nothing I could do the situation so I needed just let go. The only thing I could do was to make sure that I did not go under the car, so I pushed back, went up over the hood of the car and stopped a moment as my right elbow in the windshield of the attacking vehicle. I remember looking over at my buddy, who now stood beside the road with his hands over his face screaming and I was reassuring to think that this would hurt when I land. The woman in the car slammed on the brakes and I was sent flying several yards through the air. I was absolutely correct when I hit the concrete of the road it started bad. Amazingly, I stayed awake through the whole experience, talking quietly with ambulance attendants, as they put me on a stretcher and took me to hospital. The only injury I suffered was a broken right shoulder and it came from the impact of my right elbow against the car windscreen. The Drs. and police agree that I should have been killed by the experience and that the only thing that saved my life was that I relaxed and did not resist.

These two examples have led me to understand the incredible power of our minds, and how a daily regiment of such practices as self-hypnosis, mindfulness or meditation can start the process of taking control of your mind and body, and exercise seems miracles.

Stress comes from our resistance against outside stimulation, so long as we continue to oppose that we continue to promote stress. Take for example the idea of fire-walkers, a fire walker has been trained to to relax the body and thereby negate any damage from the burning hot coal. The same goes for people who walk across beds of crushed glass, relaxation equals no resistance, no resistance equals less impact on what we once considered serious problems.

A daily regiment of self-hypnosis / mediation is the first step in learning to control your body mind connection. Information and / or instructions from a professional hypnotherapist, teacher or guide in the Personal Energy Mastery and / or Relaxation Therapy will show you how to strengthen, increase and expand your daily exercises. Just remember, resistance is futile!.
