Warm regards to you at this time of year, when holidays are upon
us and thelight of day and night is moving toward the extreme in
both the northern andsouthern hemispheres. At this time of year it
is not uncommon to find oneselfexperiencing more stress. For some
it is the stress of much joy. For others it isanother kind of
stress. The following can be useful to all.
These practices can take as short as 5 minutes or up to 30
minutes. Keep inmind that when the body, mind and heart are in
tune, life goes more smoothlyand has more joy.
First Practice Mystic Relaxation:1-Tense your body very tight
and then relax it, one part and then another part,starting at your
feet, then the legs, then the hands and then the arms, then
thelower trunk of the body, then the upper trunk, then the neck,
then the face andhead until you have tensed each part of the body
as tight as you can and thenlet go, relaxing that part of the
body.When the whole body is relaxed rest a minute in the
experience.
2-Pick a thought use an essential quality like love or beauty,
or peace. Putyour mind on this thought/quality and hold it there,
holding it tight, and then
hold tighter on this thought/quality, until the feeling
associated with thethought begins to arise or until it is enough.
Then relax the mind and let thebrain relax.Rest a minute in this
experience.

3-Listen to music, remember a song, or remember or do a dance
that bringsyou to ecstasy. If you do not have music that brings you
to ecstasy, remember afeeling in nature or imagine a scene in
nature that brings you peace or ecstasy.(Send an e-mail to the
office if you are unable to do this

Rest a minute in this experience.
Second Practice:In Yoga, in Chinese medicine, and in Sufi
practice one of the most fundamentaland yet powerful breaths, when
done correctly, can be a source of renewedenergy, relaxation, and a
feeling of deep centering.
1-Put your hands and your attention on your lower belly. Breathe
in your noseand out your mouth in a gentle and easy breath.
2-Let the mind relax, let the mind rest, and allow the breath to
find its way to
the belly. This may take patience. Do not use the mind, but
rather allow thebreath flow to the belly. If this is difficult to
do, then the first three daysimagine that the breath goes easily to
the lower belly. Then the fourth day putyour attention on the
belly, knowing that the breath is moving there. Continueto do this
each day.
3-Feel that you are breathing in freshness and that, somehow,
the breathleaving your body is carrying away anything that is ready
to go. Let thatfreshness build your inner battery a battery of
freshness/life.
Do this practice for a few breaths no more than 3-5 minutes.
If you begin both of these practices today, and do them each
day, your holidayseason may bring something new into your life.
A Buddhist Prayer:With the thought of peace let me contemplate
the world, and let that peaceextend to the four horizons.With the
thought of peace increasing beyond measure let me contemplate
theUniverse, and let that peace extend throughout the whole
Universe up to itsconfines.
This prayer can also be done with the thought of love, and
joy.
May you notice in your life, emerging peace, expressions of
love, andabounding joy.Warm Regards to you,Devi
