This article talks about the science and the practice behind this sacred secret.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>Searching in the wrong place<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>\u201cHow to stop stressing\u201d has been a quest for human beings.  If one drops a key in one place and searches for it in another place, they will never succeed.  Modern methods to offer solutions to stop stress are similar to this.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>Stressing on anything including meditation leads\nto stress<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>The solution that is offered becomes a stressor.  For example, on any given day, thousands of people are stressed about not having done their meditation routine for the day.  Why does one do meditation?  To be stress-free.  But, is that the case here? No.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>A human being is many-layered<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>A\nhuman being has many bodies.  The \u201cphysical\u201d body just being one\nof them.  The others are:<\/p>\n\n\n<ul><li> \u201cpranic\u201d body in which the air circulation happens,  <\/li><li> \u201cmental\u201d body where inner chatter takes place,  <\/li><li> \u201cemotional\u201d body that stores emotions, <\/li><li> \u201ccausal\u201d body in which we rest when we are in deep sleep,  <\/li><li> \u201cjoy\u201d body where we experience joy once in a while in our lives and  <\/li><li> \u201cbliss\u201d body that is untouched by any of the other layers. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<p>The physical body stores patterns of tiredness; pranic body stores desires; mental body stores patterns such as judgment etc; and emotions such as fear and worry get stored in the emotional layer.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>The root of stress<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Stress is experienced in the waking state and is a function of lack of alignment between the physical, pranic, mental and emotional bodies.  No stress is experienced in deep sleep as these bodies are not experienced.  The secret to stress-free living is to align these four bodies in the waking state as it happens during the deep sleep state.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>What can help me align the different bodies?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>The technique that can help to align the different bodies is to find out and be clear about the \u201ctechnical information\u201d for each day to day action in life.  For example, take the action of brushing one\u2019s teeth.  \u201cTechnical information\u201d for this action is found out by asking questions such as \u201cWhy is brushing my teeth important?\u201d, \u201cWhat will happen if I don\u2019t brush my teeth?\u201d.  Answers could be that this impacts my health, and bad breath will cause discomfort to me and people around me.  This shows that \u201chealth\u201d and \u201crelationships\u201d are important concerns in life.  Being clear that brushing teeth fulfills the concerns of health and relationships will help settle the physical body, other desires will not show up, the mental body will not ask \u201cwhy are you doing this?\u201d, and there is no reason to have worry about doing that task at that point in time.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>Choicelessness is the key<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Having \u201ctechnical information\u201d about every task that is done in a day or required to be performed in a day, creates the inner space of \u201cchoicelessness\u201d.  This is where \u201cfree will\u201d operates.  Any action done from the space of \u201cchoicelessness\u201d even if it is as simple as moving a hand is a technique for stress-free living.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Find\nout \u201ctechnical information\u201d in your own life for:<\/p>\n\n\n<ol><li>\nBrushing\n\tteeth\n\t<\/li><li>\nTaking\n\tbath\n\t<\/li><li>\nHaving\n\tfood\n\t<\/li><li>\nLying\n\tdown\n\t<\/li><li>\nGoing\n\tto sleep\n<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n<p>Do these tasks from a choiceless space.  Slowly, increase the set of tasks for which you are clear about \u201ctechnical information\u201d and live stress-free through the day.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Celebrate\nlife!
