There are two types of people. This is just roughly classifying. 
 The first type is a very intense person. The second one is a laid back relaxed person. But relaxation is not something that comes naturally; when you are an adult; working away on your business to save it or promote it, whatever the case may be.

So I like to talk about how to relax other than going to Yoga classes, taking a bath, getting a massage.

 Relaxation is things you do in the daily process of your life.

Relaxation has to be built in your daily process of life. 
<h2>7 Tips to Relax in the Middle of Afternoon: </h2>
 (1) Get Away

Be able to close your books. Turn off your intensity. Turn off your computer or put it in a sleep mode and get away. Get away from the busy hustle and bustle of the day.

(2) Take a walk

Go for a walk even for 5 or 10 minutes.

 Go into your car if you are in an office environment. Just meditate in your car for 5 to 10 minutes. Or simply chill out. Where no one is coming to disturb you.

(4) Mini Exercises for Energy Flow (Qigong)

 Learn to do few little exercises in your home office where you don’t have much space.

(5) Fingers and Toes:

Finger exercises:

<ul>
<li>Take hold of each finger one at a time with the opposite hand.</li>
<li>Gently twist clock and counter clockwise several time.</li>
<li>Ten gently bend each finger backward.</li>
</ul>

Toe exercises:
<ul>
<li>Take hold of toes with one hand and rotate the entire foot around the ankle.</li>
<li>Take each toe at a time and twist clock and counter clockwise and bend down and up.</li>
<li>Repeat with each toe.</li>
<li>Switch to the other foot. </li>
</ul>
(6) Dynamic Breathing:

<a href=”http://www.abundanceishere.com/learn-to-meditate-zen-yoga-breathing-and-sitting-position-part-1/” target=”_blank”> Deep Abdominal Hara breathing</a>:
 Hara is the lower abdominal area. This is one of the central Zen teaching. It’s considered to be one of the vital energy center known as a chakra. 
 Standing still or while walking:
 Breathe in the shoulders relaxed…
 Let the air fill in to the lower abdomen (Hara)

Exhale through the mouth slightly fore forcefully, contracting the abdominal muscles
 Ideally 4 counts to inhale; 4 counts to hold and 8 counts to exhale.
 As you exhale say gently “ha…ha…”

(7) Resting Your Brain:

 Change your awareness. 
 Even personal development exercises sometimes become too busy in the brain.
 Your awareness must merge with the Universal energy and the Universal Intelligence. 
 Allow your consciousness to merge with the Super Consciousness of the Universe. The intelligence of the Universe.

Zen Yoga is for everyone. You don’t have to be so flexible. You don’t have to be a cool, hip Yoga student, carrying around a Yoga mat.

In big cities, more men attend Yoga classes. In suburban areas, men are still a small minority. Just remember that tips shown here are chore aspects of Yoga and Zen practices.

Relaxation isn’t just about your body or “less thinking.” It’s about your life style and how you spend time. It’s how to eliminate all types of stress and admit where you are not succeeding.

<h2>Balance in Areas of Your Life: </h2>
Ultimately Zen, Yoga and any mind-body training is about achieving a balance in your life.

This is strictly my own observation and not necessarily a widely accepted opinion. In my experience I encountered many people who are very serious about wholistic approaches and spiritual pursuit in their lives. They are very patient and tolerant of pain and struggles. It appears to me a large percentage of them do not prioritize about their financial security. This is a broad generalization but the statistics in America prove that as affluent as America is made out to be, so many people are struggling with jobs they hate, and worried about their financial security. 
<h2>Stress Caused in financial Area: </h2>
When looking at 6 areas of their lives, definitely their financial area do not score high on the Life Pie Chart.

In this Era of Internet Revolution, tens of thousands of people have started to escape the rat race of being slaves to the jobs they hate and high interest debits.

Meet thousands of people who <a href=”http://online.abundanceishere.com” target=”_blank”>discovered a Simple Business model/ system online</a> who manged to live relaxed and abundant lives.

To Your Happiness and Peace,
