The way that your body feels is a direct reflection of your state of being. It is an indicator of where your attention is, in every moment. If your body is feeling tight or contracted it is telling you that your attention is with the activity of the mind.

Bring your attention back to this moment and feel what is happening in the body. If there is any tension or contraction there, you can let it go right now. There is no need to hold onto it. Release the knot in your stomach, unclench your hands, and let your shoulders drop.

As you release the tension in your body, you will notice that your attention naturally comes to rest at the eyes, and the opportunity opens for you to connect to your true nature. Here you will find that you come to a place of natural rest and relaxation.

You can use the feeling in the body as a guide to your level of peace and relaxation. This can be done in any moment or situation. It is particularly powerful if you are aware that you are stressed or anxious about an event. Shifting your attention to the body and letting go of any tension only takes a moment, and the benefits are immediate.

If you feel yourself tense up again you can be assured that your attention has again wandered into the mind and you can use this as a cue to bring your attention back into this moment. The more you relax your body, the more you will find yourself at rest.

Nothing is more important, ever!

The more you practice this, the more evident the movement of your attention will become to you. As you become attuned to where your attention is in each moment and you consciously align to this moment, you will find more peace and relaxation in your daily life.
