Every tomorrow has two handles. We can take hold of it with the handle of anxiety or the handle of faith. ~Henry Ward Beecher
A stress free being is aware that he or she knows no destination other than Now. They experience no hesitation, procrastination or postponement of their life, ever! Why should there be? They love life too much, so their mind does not get in their way to cause any resistance. They have no stressful constriction of blood vessels caused by adrenaline rushes or fear or anger, they aren't trying to avoid an early death because they are too consumed with the loving, being playful and enjoying life fully. They are trusting the flow, connecting to their thoughts, emotions and physical body. They are tapped into the perpetual flow of bliss within themselves.
Stress free people have learned that stress is their number one signal from the body to STOP and LET GO! Any avoidance strategy to ignore this signal and keep going is a sign of future pain. They know this and want to transcend the mental prison of their ego's agenda. They've practiced the art of letting go and releasing stress for years and still consider themselves to be a student. They are always learning. They've truly come around to embracing their own innocence so that they can see and feel within their innermost core of their being is this pure "being" energy...the ecstasy everyone is seeking.
The stress free person also knows how to PLAY with people and takes them self less seriously. The entire Universe is their playground. If negative thoughts arise in the mind, they are invited in openly and experienced fully by their mind, emotional body and even welcomed physically. They resist NOTHING. If their previously stress-filled rigid ways of dealing with others come into form, they don't refuse certain "negative" thoughts and feelings, they see each thought in the bigger scheme. That they are just a rocky bank in the greater flow of the River of Life, that has many mysteries, and hidden dimensions to experience. There is no tension found in the stress free being ever because no judgment, resistance or avoidance can find its way in.
You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation. ~Plato
SECRET #1 - QUIET YOUR MIND
The meditative mind is divine mind. It is simply being here in the now. It has become so relaxed that it is actually laser focused, pointing towards mindfulness in the now. Every stress free being will tell you there is no better time than this one that is happening right now. Meditation is a way to quiet the mind so you can see that all experiences (negative and positive) are paths for the soul to discover this higher Universal Source. A quiet mind can hear their intuition clearly so they can establish deeper connections with everyone in the world, and manifest a much more peaceful experience of life. A quiet mind is much easier to live with than a busy mind.
"The quieter you become, the more you’re able to hear." ~Zen saying
SECRET #2 - CELEBRATE WHAT IS NOW
Our attachment to the past and future is what creates the GREATEST cause of stress in our lives. Since this moment is the only thing that is real, choose to be constantly celebrating what is happening now. If you are experiencing a problem, celebrate it! That problem will soon be a blessing in disguise. Life is actually a celebration of opposites. How could you know light without shadow, or depth without shallow-ness? We are in a state of perpetual ebb and flow of the tides. Celebration of this existence is what makes you a master of your life! Whatever it is that's happening in your life right now, there is some way you can celebrate it. There is always another door opening where one has closed. Now is that moment that is filled with amazing qualities life consists of. Just realizing this little secret will assist you greatly in choosing to see the miraculous instead of the mundane wherever you are.
We are either all masters in ego-disguises, or all egos with master-amnesia. ~Unknown
SECRET #3 - KNOW YOUR INFINITE NATURE
The Truth is that we are all eternal beings who will never die. We are souls in a body who will only change form. We will be reborn again if we want to or not. If we have enough awareness we can choose to experience anything when we die. The infinite quality of your own being is just like saying the Sun is warm. It is a grand understatement of who we really are. When you get the true enormity of who you are, everything will change. Once this very small piece of information remains sacred and the goal for your entire day, month, and year, you will awaken. The Universe will welcome you to back home to your true limitless self and playground.
Ecstasy is our very nature; not to be ecstatic is simply unnecessary. To be ecstatic is natural, spontaneous. It needs no effort to be ecstatic, it needs great effort to be miserable. That's why you look to tired, because misery is really hard work; to maintain it is really difficult, because you are doing something against nature. ~Osho
