Relaxation is a Healthy, Soothing Feeling

Relaxation is a special feeling. There is no other way to express it. This feeling is not something you can turn off and on at will. It is something that must be built up in the conscious and the subconscious mind, something you build up in every one of the billions of cells in your body, in your entire nervous system, in your vital organs and in your muscles. There have been times – yes, many times – whenyou have correctly let your feelings direct your life.
Haven’t you said to yourself more than once, “I have a feeling I should not go on that trip as I planned to do?” Let’s say it was to be a plane trip. So you listened to the inner voice of your feelings and did not go. Then something came up in your life that made you glad you didn’t go. You relied upon your feelings. We have often said, “I have a feeling that person doesn’t like me.” Sure enough, we find that person trying to undermine our character to others. Or, someone hurts you dreadfully and you say to them, “You have hurt my feelings.” You feel the hurt deep inside. Yes, we do have feelings and we do feel things. Relaxation is a feeling. Your feelings allow your nerves to relax. Your feelings can banish stress, strain and tensions to bring calm, inner peace and serenity. Feeling is the life force within you that is always working for you. All it needs is a chance. It is astonishing how fewpeople get their physical, mental and emotional debris out of the way and let feeling work for them. Everyone knows what it is to feel miserable . . . just as everyone knows how it feels to be tired, exhausted, weak, sad or depressed. All people know what pain feels like. Our feelings do not deceive us. We all know how we feel when we get up in the morning. We know how we feel during the day. Feeling is a vital part of our lives! If we feel nervous, weak, tired and miserable we produced those feelings with our incorrect daily living habits. Feeling follows the law of cause and effect. Every effect in life is produced by a cause. You get out of life just what you put into it. It is one of the great and inflexible laws of life. Most people are plagued with stress, strains and tensions. These conditions do not just appear out of a blue sky! They are motivated by a cause. Relaxation is a feeling produced by one’s actions, attitude and environment. If you follow a defined program of building Nerve Force, you can produce the feeling of complete relaxation! However, you must earn this feeling. There is no use trying to get it with a cigarette, cup of coffee, tea, cola or an alcoholic drink.
