RELATIVE MODALITY

MODALS OF CONSCIOUSNESS

RELAX - REBUILD

The challenges of life, and the reach to enhance or expand consciousness ask us to endure hardship and grow in ways that are difficult and possibly painful. We cannot easily control our situation from all angles, and are subject to dissatisfaction on many levels. How we reach into our consciousness and push forward is a difference of worlds, for ourselves and for others.

There are many methods to relax and ease suffering. There are many ways to build consciousness. Contemplation, consideration, meditation - acts of good will - making new decisions instead of exacerbating old problems...

The way we control ourselves, or let ourselves flow freely determines much about our energy, choices, problems and even attitudes about everything.

MAKE CHANGE - MAKE PROGRESS

The world we know is painted by the interaction of many ways of existence, many interactions, levels of awareness, and problems being solved at every turn.

We will cover some methods to ease some difficulties here. Relative Modality and the connected site www.CosmicTome.com are here to alleviate problems, and to help newcomers to the path of recognition and contemplation get a massive head start - a start that has never existed before.

We'll add additional tools, but for now, we'll begin with some links to some very profound relaxing music for your easement and perhaps meditation.

Thought-Bridge / Easy Dog

Human life occurs at many levels - awareness, goals, stresses. These pile up and layer on our organs and nervous system at a complexity that can be difficult to sort out separate, or pause.

Finding a way to create periods of true, deeper rest is the only defense against being bound in stress, especially when stressful times are abound, including problems with health.

We are an animal body, and life is very complex and this creates tensions of mind and body. Even when resting, even when sleeping, our body holds the most active tensions we feel in daily life. Sometimes we can go to sleep and wake up and not feel revived - not just groggy, but truly unrepaired. That's often the waking energy meeting the bound parts of the body - they are not ready to wake up because they are still bound in yesterday's tension.

Creating windows of time where we treat the body in a more simplistic manor helps. Think of how different your state of mind is than your pet dog's. You are aware of a thousand things, dozens of relationships, a long detailed past, a complex present, and a huge trajectory of the future. All of that is stored in the body in various tensions.

While we can talk about the whole body, that is not useful for this exercise. Also, while many meditations try to guide you to stillness of mind, and relaxation of parts of the body, this will not do.

The Thought-Bridge
The mind runs through nerve channels that are spread all over the body, but the most direct pathway runs from our thinking thoughts to a chain of tension that exists:
1. Inside the chest
2. Up the throat
3. To the back of the tongue
4. The area of the jaw
5. The cheeks, below the eyes

We could also say the temples and back of neck, where the skull meets the spine, but these are residual second factors to the chain, and would be dealt with in a different way. The "Thought-Bridge" is a set of subtle muscular/nerve surfaces that carry a slight tension when we are using our brains in an active way. That activity peaks in these states of mind: work, stress, rapid thinking, active focus (such as work, driving, video games, teaching, writing). The question you will answer for yourself is this... does our thought tense the parts residually, or by requirment? You will likely find that with proper relaxation, you will find it 'hard' to think at all. The tensions then, were required for the mind to run, race, or overwork itself! Let's discuss the relaxation next.

So, the Thought-Bridge binds a little in high intensity use of the mind. We carry that slight stress always, if we live in active mental states. If we are very active, such as in stressful times, overwork, or bad health that forces extra resources to push through barriers - then the Thought-Bridge is extra tense and will not fully relax with rest or sleep. Those muscles and nerves can, and will, get tired. It can lead to poor sleep and rest, or health problems. Just think of how much easier the pet dog's life is than yours. Think of how easy things were as a kid, compared to now. You are likely holding substantial ongoing stress in the body that is not very natural. The body arranges patterns of reaction to deal with these stresses. Binding the Thought-Bridge is a way of facing stress more readily.

So, that area of the body must be unwound INTENTIONALLY. You can't just lay there and try to be peaceful. What must happen: those areas must be felt within, one by one, and sort of... pushed... into relaxation. The areas are bound, just like a tired bicep or leg after weeks of excessive use without proper rest.

It is actually very simple to do, it is only a matter of figuring out how to
- 'force' a body part into rest (calmly)
- then allowing that part to be free from that force
- then feeling that part sort of... balloon into simple freedom of tension and use. Like a happy dog who's tail is wagging, who is laying in the sun, and who feels freedom and peace, free from all those attachments that bog a human down.

So, the list of parts again - move from #1 down the list. By the end of the list, when the simple technique is working, you will experience a REAL state of thoughtlessness. You will probably find that this tightened Thought-Bridge is the reason you could never meditate well before. You will probably find that when the bridge is released - you could even fall asleep far faster than normal. When you wake up, those areas of tension will be in far greater relief than if you fell asleep with these parts bound up!

1. Inside the chest
2. Up the throat
3. To the back of the tongue
4. The area of the jaw
5. The cheeks, below the eyes

Remember that life has many challenges, and that it's only fair to act the body to face those challenges for a reasonable amount of time - namely, for as long, each day, as will allow the body to recover properly over time. By pushing ourselves 15 hours a day in constant motion, goal accomplishment and running around, it can lead to health problems. No matter the circumstance, you and those around you will benefit if you you know how to rest openly, and how to find equilibrium of the body, and the mind when possible. Allow yourself that freedom, before you go to sleep, when you must rest during the day, or as it's needed to replenish who and what you are!

EXAMINING & UPLIFTING THE SPIRIT

The quest for universal understanding, is by nature, lodged within the universal equation itself. Some people are more aligned to pursue this question to the furthest reaches. This can be a condition that is puzzling, prosperous, or secluded from ordinary life, which presents a challenge.

Seeking balance internally comes from many things - trying to achieve good health, maintain positive outlooks, or peaceful dealings with the struggles of life.

Much of life is a puzzle to be explored. There is much room for us to help others, or to learn about ourselves. We must live a life, and accept our changing natures, and bring to ourselves the challanges that keep us feeling alive - and the changes that will help us feel that reality is worth living through.

Maintaining personal integrity and the reach for heightened experiences of mind and body is a pursuit of a greater nature, in the evolution of consciousness that has driven humankind to higher states every passing age. Together, those who seek to develop and extend empathy, wisdom, and self improvement are the salt of the earth.
