Controlling Stress the natural way

5 min readMay 2, 2023

If you have a method where you have to be conscious of being more resilient to stress, then it becomes an effort and methods, especially in spirituality, it doesn’t work. I understand meditation is a method, but it is an exploratory tool to experience your mind spaces and not one to sit down every day thinking magic is going to happen. It can give you a clear mind and somewhat improve memory, but a good night’s sleep can do that for you. Then when you see what really is meditation, as it is going to “sleep” while you are still awake — it is exactly this when you look at the brain-operating frequencies of what it means when you fall asleep at night — brain frequencies drop from about awake 40Hz to below 4Hz and its sleep time. The brain just shuts down below 4Hz — This is exactly what happens during meditation. You get meditative rest like “sleep” while you are still awake, surely memory is going to be better for a while, and you feel rested.

But the purpose of meditation is exploratory. Knowing your mind spaces and how the different mind-spaces think. Why? So knowing how the different realms of you work on the brain and mind then, you can do things with its arrangements, reset the brain-mind and have control over the thinking process, change the pattern of thinking, or find a centre in the brain-mind to rest it in stillness, when there is nothing to do. Rather than stay in the frontline verbal thinking brain, which is chaotic and silently chit-chatting all the time with psychological thinking, which is a waste of energy.
