Why do we have difficulty relaxing? — YouTube from the CEC Library

The question addressed refers to breathing and to the relaxation of the physical body, elements that are essential for disabling that body and allowing the migration of the consciousness into the astral body. The difficulty in relaxing the physical body is mainly related to fear. We carry fears of various origins throughout our lives, influenced by the world we live in. In order to achieve relaxation, it is necessary to be in a very peaceful environment, without external threats.

Any threat prevents relaxation, generating tension. Tension is harmful both for astral projection and for everyday life; therefore, it is important to learn to deal with threats and with the resulting tension. Being in a peaceful place, with a low level of noise, is crucial, because noise is a form of aggression. Threats such as people entering the environment, shouting, arguing, or the noise of cars cause apprehension and, consequently, tension.

In addition, everyday life, with its affective, social, and professional demands, accumulates tensions. In order to relax, it is necessary to reverse that accumulation, which takes time. For that reason, it is essential to seek a healthy life in order to achieve the maximum relaxation possible. The difficulties in relaxing are rooted in our fears—both unconscious and conscious—and in daily experiences. We should reflect on how to improve our conditions in order to carry out astral projections more effectively.
