Three Quick Tips for Calm

Notice if you are clenching your jaw. For the next five minutes, allow the muscles in your jaw to relax. Notice 10 times throughout the day if your jaw has become clenched and tight. Less tension here makes you feel less stressed. (Part of the Tantra Open Body path)

Place a finger in the middle of your eyebrows. Lower your head slightly so your chin is close to your chest. Close your eyes, and focus your eyes on your finger tip for one minute. It's fine if your eyelids flutter. This breaks the pattern of stressful thoughts and creates calm. (Part of the Path of Wisdom)

Take your cell phone. Change the welcome display to “Calm NOW” or “Breathe!” or “Super Calm NOW!” This will be a constant reminder to practice creating calm. (Part of the Path of Remembering)

The Calm Commuter

Take a breath in. Close your eyes. Count to three. Exhale for the count of three. Ensure there is no pause between your in-breath and out-breath. This circular breathing increases the amount of energy you feel.

Scanning the Body

Focus on the following muscle groups:

-   The small muscles around your eyes

-     Muscles in your forehead

-      Your abdominal muscles

The more you relax your physical body, the calm you have. Relax these muscles – you may want to gently massage around your eyes and forehead. Check these areas every ten minutes for the next hour and ensure they are relaxed. This will enable you to work with less effort.
