Choose peace in all circumstances
As life progresses, many of us want to discover our peace in this crazy world. We look around at all the misfortune and injustice that happens, and we wish we could snap our fingers and make it all go away. However, in trying to find peace outside of ourselves, we will always be disappointed. Peace of heart comes from accepting life and learning to ride the waves.
If we all found peace within ourselves, life wouldn’t have so many pitfalls. But, if you think about it, the lack of peace comes from some imbalance within ourselves. So if we want a more peaceful world in general, we must conquer whatever beliefs we have that contradicts the truth we want to experience.
Eastern religions teach that we must have composure in all life circumstances not to let them control us. If you react to every situation that life throws at you, be it negative or positive, your emotional and mental state will remain unbalanced.
Sometimes our daily patterns don’t allow us enough time to be at peace. The stress and the hustle and bustle of everyday life make us breathe shallowly and keep us “closed”, physically tense. A little exercise helps to compensate for this, especially so-called mind-body practices, such as yoga.
Getting a massage is another good option. A massage is one of the best solutions for allowing yourself to stop everything that comes into your life and beautifully reach a calm feeling for the body and mind.
Massage and emotions:
The massage allows you to immerse yourself in a unique and peaceful environment while clearing your mind and thoughts. In addition to providing a calming sense to your nervous system, therapeutic massage helps relieve anxiety and reduces symptoms derived from stress. Specifically, these are some of the benefits that massage has for your emotions:
- Decrease angry feelings
- Reduces insomnia, as it improves sleep patterns
- Relieves mental stress levels as the nervous system calms down, producing a focus and balance effect
- Release repressed emotions
- Provides a relaxing and comforting mental health alternative
- Improve mood
- Generates confidence and a feeling of well-being
- Relieve emotional trauma through relaxation
- Promotes feelings of emotional well-being
- Increase awareness of the mind-body connection
- Improves self-image and self-esteem
- Satisfies the need for contact
- Reduces the feeling of isolation
- Relieves symptoms of PMS
Touch releases hormones that create a sense of emotional connection. In this way, massage can help calm the mind and improve mood and relieve physical pain.
Although more research is needed, scientists have found enough evidence to support the idea that massage therapy can provide mental health benefits. For example, various clinical trials suggest that massage therapy can help relieve depression.
