Summary: The mind naturally holds onto energies. It uses emotions to unconsciously sustain tension and fear as a basic survival mechanism. It is doing this to keep us at the ready, to protect us from harm in the short term. This has been an evolutionarily successful strategy. But over time, this tension or fear can result in ill health and harmful negativity in our life. Evolution selected for more genes produced over happier, more contented minds. Fortunately, the mind and the body can also let go. It’s just that sometimes it takes a little coaxing, a little bit of brain hacking. ‘Cognitive dissonance’ is just such a technique. The mind can’t hold on to two opposite ideas or instructions simultaneously. This is why in this meditation we instruct it in these opposites. Try it and experience your tension melt away. Like a gentle massage back and forth on knotted muscles, this guided meditation will help release the tension in your emotional and physical self.<br><hr><p style="color: grey; font-size: 0.75em;"> See <a style="color: grey;" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://acast.com/privacy">acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>
