Many times, there's an excess of movement, of activities, of tension, or of...you know, just things happening.
And the meditation helps you to untangle yourself, at least in that moment, of all this and then it's like a "fwoooo"
Like a certain collapse, sometimes, because...
You let go of all that pressure, right?
And then the idea is...to little by little...
This is good at first, right, it can help.
But little by little is good to notice if this keeps always happening.
If this always happens, it means that something in your routine, your everyday life, is pressuring you too much...
And that is going to be an escape, it'll give you a momentary relaxation...and then after, it'll all come back to how it was.
And we never go that deep into it. The meditation...
ends up being just a way to relax.
And the idea is that...
At the end of the day, after we have a good balance in our daily lives...
And by balance I don't mean like, "everything is perfect in my life" and all that, because this...
This doesn't really happens, let's be real.
"The world is going to become perfect so I can be in peace" this...doesn't happen like that...
So...by balance I mean, you in relation to everything else.
In regards of what you need in order to feel enough balance.
The idea is for meditation to make you very...alert.
It's not an agitated kind of "alert", right...but it's like...
That's even a confusion that happens often...
with the sensation of meditating and the sensation of something that is tamasic.
Tamase would be Inertia. So sometimes people think like...
Sometimes they either sleep during meditation, or don't think of anything because they're kinda like...dumbed out.
And think they're meditating. When in truth...not really.
Because the extremes, sometimes they're similar, right? For someone who isn't that attentive...
The "stop" of Inertia and the "stop" of meditation, they...
have similarities, but their results are extremely different.
The Inertia's "stop"...once it ends, everything is still the same.
The meditation's "stop", once it ends...you use that to change your life towards the direction that you want.
So yeah, they have very very different qualities, Tamas and Sattva.
But there are some characteristics that make us...
sometimes get confused.
So it's just for us to investigate this...if this relaxing thing, or being as if...
if you had disconnected entirely, and then you're having a hard time reconnecting to start your day...
What is causing this, and what can be done so this doesn't keep happening indefinitely.
