The word 'Stress' has a lot of reasons behind it. When a person says he is stressed out, he means he cannot keep a proper state of mind, rather it is difficult to keep a balanced state of mind. Being a computer profressional myself, working on the computer the whole day becomes very stressful physically as well as mentally for the back as well as the eyes. So, whenever I feel stressed out
after the day's work, I come home and sit down for meditation for sometime.
After meditation, I feel very very fresh and feel all the strain of the whole day go way, so much that I feel am ready for any other task now.
Following is an attempt to understand our real inner -self and how understanding of that helps us keep the balance of mind and thus handle Stress.
The subtle system -

The subtle system represented above is closely linked to our nervous system, which it keeps in balance. Indeed, we can detect the subtle system functioning within us due to the presence of a cool breeze, a prickling sensation or sometimes heat on particular parts of our hands or on top of our heads. Only the Kundalini has the power to awaken the subtle system, which can actually be felt on your hands.
This is the essence of SahajYoga, as founded by Shri
Mataji Nirmala Devi in 1970 and has since Spread all around the world.
Thus, once this mechanism is awakened and gradually mastered by practising Sahaja Yoga, it becomes a marvellous instrument in developing the personality which we so look forward to becoming, and thus handle stress and become a very balanced person.
