SECRETH SIL

Most people agree that they lack love. But why do we need peace of mind?



Love and tranquility are inseparable. Love is not the possession of another person. It is a state of harmony with the whole world and, above all, with oneself. It's the confidence that you're moving in the right direction. If we seek love, we find peace of mind, and if we seek peace, we find love.

First of all, peace is balance.
The number one task for martial arts practitioners is to maintain balance. When you start doing karate, you learn that strength depends on balance and a cold head. It is necessary to add emotions, and your song is sung.


Balance and peace of mind are the sources of our self-confidence. Calmness does not mean sleepiness! Calmness is about managing power, not confronting it. Calmness is the ability to see the full picture without focusing on the details.

If you want to protect yourself from all adversity, you chose the wrong planet.
Peace and confidence can only be found within yourself. In the surrounding world there is no stability, everything is in a state of eternal variability. How can we cope with the unpredictability of life? Just take it!

Tell yourself, “I like surprises.” It’s great to know that something unexpected can happen at any time.”

Make a decision: “No matter what happens, I can handle it.”

Make a deal with yourself: “If I get fired, I’ll find a freer job with a schedule.” If I get hit by a bus, I will no longer be here.””

It's not a joke. It's the truth of life. Earth is a dangerous place. People are born and die here. But that doesn’t mean you have to live like a cowardly rabbit.

How to achieve mental balance?
To find peace of mind, first of all, you need to change your worldview. And this can help the habit of giving yourself a rest every day.

People who achieve mental balance often perform certain rituals. Some pray, others meditate, some walk along the sea at dawn. Everyone finds their own way of relaxation. It helps us better understand ourselves and the world around us.

Life will be a struggle if we insist on it.
Modern Western civilization has taught us to constantly strain. I do not argue with the fact that “you cannot easily pull fish out of the pond.” But before we start doing anything, we have to stop fighting everything. We grew up believing in resistance. We tend to drive events and push people. We wear ourselves out, and there is more harm than good in that.

Why do you need relaxation?
Almost everything we do in life is a race for results. But deep relaxation, meditation, or prayer help us look at life in a new way. We expect that the future will give us many pleasant moments. However, our attention should still be focused on the present.

As we practice deep relaxation, we will begin to notice that some of the qualities acquired through exercise gradually become a habit and change our daily lives. We become more calm, we have intuition.

We all have an inner voice, but it is weak and barely discernible. When life gets too hectic and noisy, we stop hearing it. But once we mute the outside sounds, everything changes. Our intuition is always with us, but often we do not pay any attention to it.

A lot of people go through this cycle. From this we can conclude: “If you do not have time for relaxation, it is absolutely necessary for you.”

Meditation will save you more time than you spend on it. Make it a habit – adjust yourself as you tune a musical instrument. Twenty minutes every day, so that the strings of your soul sound clear and coherent. Wake up every morning with the intention of being calm and balanced. Some days you will be able to hold out until the evening, and sometimes just until breakfast. But if the preservation of peace of mind becomes the goal, gradually you will learn this art.

The forces of nature
Have you ever noticed that you can walk in the woods all day and feel the flow of energy? Or spend the morning in a mall and feel like you've been run over by a truck? Everything is vibrating, whether it’s grass, concrete, plastic or polyester. We're catching her. Gardens and forests have a healing vibration – they restore our energy.

Vibration of concrete malls is another type: they suck energy. The vibration of the cathedrals is directed upwards. In bars and clubs, you will leave the lion's share of your life force.

It doesn’t take a genius to understand that our health and attitude depend on the elusive energy of our environment. When we are full of energy, we easily manage to resist the diseases and bad moods of others. When energy is zero, we attract depression and disease.

Greetings, desert corner...

It is not a mere coincidence that cultures around the world have a tradition and a veneration of solitude. During the initiation period, both the American Indian and the African Bushman left their tribes, hid in the mountains or forests in order to understand their destiny.

The great Masters—Christ, Buddha, Magomed—were inspired by solitude, as were the millions of monks, mystics, and truth-seekers who followed in their footsteps. Each of us needs such a cherished place where phones do not ring, where there is no TV or Internet. Whether it be a bed in the bedroom, a corner on the balcony or a bench in the park – this is our territory for creativity and reflection.

It's one.
Since the seventeenth century, science has had the method of Sir Isaac Newton: If you want to understand something, smash it to pieces and study the fragments. If this does not add clarity, divide into even smaller parts.

Eventually you will get to the bottom of how the universe works. But is that true? Take Shakespeare's sonnet and divide it into nouns, prepositions and pronouns, then break the words into letters. Will you become more aware of the author’s intention? Break the Mona Lisa into strokes. What does that give you? Science works miracles, but at the same time it anatomizes. The mind breaks things apart. The heart puts them together.

Health and well-being come when we look at the world as a whole. This applies fully to our body, to our lives, and to all of humanity.
