2010 is known as the year of manifestation and it will be a fantastic year, one full of joy and change. So if there’s anything you want to change about the way you think, live, work or act this is a year to do it you’ve just got to make the choice and then take action.
There are a couple of things you can do today to help you relax.
There’s an Ancient Indian herb called ‘Tusli’ which can help us to stay calm and relaxed. Tulsi is the Sanskrit name for holy basil; it is an adaptogenic herb which is cherished in every Hindu house because it helps to attain a healthy body and soul.
It helps the body adapt to different stressors, whether environmental physical or emotional and it supports the respiratory system.
You can purchase Tusli tea in health stores and Woolworths or try to track down the herb itself to grow in your garden so you can make your own brew and also cook with it.
It will help your nervous system if you substitute one of your cups of coffee for this tea, particularly mid morning and in the afternoon.
There’s another ancient yoga technique which instantly calms the nerves, it is as simple as humming like a bee.
Humming creates a vibration in the body that is soothing and nurturing; it relieves tension; it removes anger, anxiety, and frustration; it reduces blood pressure and supports the respiratory system.
To perform this technique there are two options.
The first is to sit comfortably with your eyes closed (preferably) and focus on your breathing. Take a long breath through your nose … then as you breathe out hum gently, keeping your jaw relaxed and your mouth closed.
Hum on every exhalation, allowing the vibrations to spread to different areas of your face and body and after 12 complete breaths remain seated and feel the vibrations of peace.
The second technique – a variation on the first – can be performed ‘on the go’. Simply breathe in deeply through your nose and, as you breathe out, gently hum one single note (as a bee would) and keep going about your tasks. Perform this for as long as you feel you need to but at least 3 times.
Both techniques will help to instil a gentle peaceful feeling and your day will run more smoothly.
Take back your power and go forward with a peaceful, calm yet invigorating view on life.
