Float Into the Unknown

"Full body relaxation is the first step to emotional and

mental relaxation and is the beginning of the healing state."

Diane Stine

As we finally understand the importance of physical balance, nutrition, and normalized sleeping, we are ready to recognize equal importance towards mental health.  Relaxation is learned by the physical body, and then extends to our perceptions, visions, and ability to become totally calm.

The state of total relaxation with the body, mind and spirit, can be compared to our childhood experience of floating unafraid in water.  The ability to let go, to unclinch, to release all attachments creates the sense of freedom we so desperately seek.

To experience nothingness requires us to be in full relaxation mode.  It is not a matter of resting one appendage and not the other nor escaping into a singular demanding focus.  It is the ability to temporarily shed our physical suits, free our minds through deep breaths, and float into the unknown .
