Can I free myself from Stress in the Here and Now?

Question: I want to heal myself and I believe stress causes ailments and lack of stress leads to healing. In the face of stress, healing is difficult, if not impossible. If not impeded, the "body"(Spiritual, mental / emotional, and physical - the hologram, if you will) is totally capable of healing itself - this is what it is meant to do. I went through a lot of problems and recently I have manifested an inguinal hernia. I believe the Aetiology was a huge amount of STRESS, which is true with most ailments. How do you see this?
[Etiology', also 'Aetiology' = the study of the cause of disease.]

BeiYin: Yes, 'stress' seems to explain every thing lately! So it looks like that all of the problems you went through, weren't yet enough. On top of this you got an hernia! Do you think that you need to find some inspiration and a key, so that you can understand for what all your suffering might be good!? You haven't had the thought that maybe the creation of a split between that what you call 'hologram' and yourself might be the reason why stress happens? Can it be that the image you have of yourself is causing reactions when you are confronted with daily reality and these reactions are causing 'stress' because you are not aware of your background?

Comment: Stress is the result of mind activity and resultant emotions, stress is resistance to what is - avoiding / not accepting fully the content of this present moment.

BeiYin: OK, I see that obviously you know something and I see where you are coming from, - because recently a so called 'friend' in MySpace invited me to join the 'friends of E. Tolle' with the recommendation to read: "A NEW EARTH". - I wrote back that I'm not interested and that I can explain why not, - if being ask.

Comment: Yes, I'm interested to hear why this is so... I enjoyed Eckard Tolle's books,- I read 'New Earth' and 'Power of Now'... I don't remember them now, but I do remember enjoying them at the time.

BeiYin: To accept the 'present moment' it needs something more. The realization of this state of consciousness only can be the result of a *growing process* and can not happen just by establishing a new concept on top of the ones that are already part of ones personality. The new sophisticated concept of 'being in the now', mainly creates a new aspect of a fake reality within the fake reality of peoples normal life.

Comment: The result is 'Action' as opposed to just simply AWARENESS in each moment.

BeiYin: Yes, that is the *truth* when realized in ones existence, but as a concept it is fake and it will only create 'action' within a fake reality. That satisfies ones personality, but is nothing else than a sophisticated new trap, within all the traps in this society and it is the usual that it attracts a lot of followers. They can adept an attractive new concept and don't need to change much of their already established properties.

Comment: I believe stress causes ailments and lack of stress leads to healing. If I can accept to live in the 'present moment' then I will not have any stress and then I will be healed.

BeiYin: Indeed, stress causes more than 'ailment', it causes disease and destruction as a result of not going to the root. The 'body' how you call it, is the individual entity, that is separated from the whole by being identified with ones 'personality' that is built by all the concepts and beliefs established and stored in ones 'data base'. So creating a self image and with this confronting daily reality, that will not fit into ones expectations how things should be and so causing 'stress'. Now it is the easiest and that is the usual in this society and the state of development of most individuals, that the fault is given to something, mostly outside of oneself, so now it is the 'stress' that is the reason for nearly every thing. Not even asking for the real reason and the background of all...
To be identified with a 'hologram', that indeed is the highest possible and not only this, it is also the most dangerous trap, rising ones personality into the highest spheres the mind can imagine!
That's nearly as good as being saved by an old fashion strong belief system!

Comment: I listened to your SRE (Stress Release Exercise) and have started doing it. With all have said about stress how could I not do the SRE? The SRE seems to me to be an exercise in being PRESENT. Learning to be present is our primary reason to be here as humans. Our lack of presence is the main reason behind human (individual, family, local, national, global) difficulties.

BeiYin: Congratulation that you started the exercise! Just do it as a routine without expecting any thing or giving a specific meaning into it. Twice a day for twenty minutes, that's all. You can see it as a simple relaxation exercise. If there is showing up any kind of difficulty, then tell me about it and I will check it and correct it if necessary.
Yes, SRE is an exercise to learn to be 'present', but before this can be realized, practising the SRE creates the basic condition to be *aware* and this is only fully possible when ones unconscious background is cleared up and this can happen when we are self responsible and aware dealing with our daily life. Out of this, when relating and responding to daily happenings and encounters, comes our learning, growing and healing. You are right when saying that only a stress free condition can allow this, but it must not be totally free of stress, because stress is caused by our reactions and we need our reactions, to become aware of these and so clear them up, when we understand why we are reacting. Not any more giving the fault to the outside, but being aware that we have caused them by our concepts, beliefs and our self image, then we can decide if we want to hold on or let go of these worn out programs. To achieve this state, that gives the base to be aware of oneself in those until now unconscious parts, we are practising the SRE.

Comment: By learning to be present, we can heal our ailments - In healing our ailments, we are learning to be present.

BeiYin: When going consciously into our healing process, seeing our disease as a challenge and so responding in an active way, using our energy creatively, without wasting our strength in resistance or when these are showing up, being aware of it and continuing, then we are connected with our inner guidance as *intuition* and every moment of our existence is a valuable stepping stone towards our growing and healing as a *whole being*...
