Welcome

To a more enlightened route to relaxation.

It’s a fast, frenetic, crazy, stressful world!

These seem to be the opening sentiments of so many books, seminars and modern day gurus, as they advise us on how to calm down, chill out and concentrate on what’s important. But is it true? Is the world now a crazy, stressful place on it’s way to hell in a hand basket? Some think it is, as their life is increasingly filled with tension, anxiety and insecurity, triggered by almost everything they see. While others, regardless of what is happening around them, seem to be able to remain peaceful, positive, and powerfully focussed on living their life to the full. Why the difference? Why do some people come out in a cold sweet and react negatively to the smallest of situations, while others are able to remain cool and in control of themselves in the face of disaster, or even provocation. The answer is perception. How you perceive the world defines the meaning you give to the world at any particular moment. And the meaning you give to the events in the world of your home or office will be what shapes your thoughts and feelings, either stressfully or relaxedly! In other words, it’s not the other person, or the deadline, or the disaster which makes you feel tense or taught, it’s not the ten o’clock news filled with murder and mayhem which makes you feel powerless and hopeless, it’s your perception. In other words, no person and no situation can unrelax you without your permission. In other words, all stress, anxiety, tension, worry, anger, fear and depression is self created.

For most people this is an extremely difficult idea to accept, and for more than most it can seem almost impossible to practice. And yet, if we do not grasp it’s truth we may find ourselves living our entire lives as slaves to people and circumstances, and not ever see that our own freedom, our own power to choose our own destiny, was only one insight away.

Welcome to relax7.com where our purpose in life is to influence (with your permission) your perceptions about yourself, other people and the world, in such a way that you are able to free yourself from any and every kind of stress, tension and anxiety. We are here to help you to reach the point where nothing can ‘phase’ you, where you are fully involved in the world, and yet one step back from the world, slightly detached, and yet intimately connected, so that you can choose how you will ascribe meaning, generate right feelings and consciously create the way you respond.

This is obviously unachievable in a few paragraphs, even a whole book, or a visit to your local guru. This ‘inner work’ takes time, patience and a little perseverance. Freedom from all suffering and sorrow is the aim. Enlightenment, meditation and visualisation are the methods. And continuous learning is the process. Are you ready? Or are you happy being unhappy? Amazingly, most people have somehow learned to be content with their discontent, comfortable being uncomfortable, and often wake up to this inner contradiction late in life. It is a learned and deeply held belief that life was not meant to be a bowl of cherries, that life was meant to be a journey through persecution and pain.

Throughout the website, you will find some thoughtful ideas (Room 1) on how you can check and challenge some of those deeply held beliefs, recalibrate your perception, and learn to live with a little more calm and clarity. You will find visualisation (Room 2) and meditation exercises (Room 7) to help you relax, focus your mind and create a more positive mental energy. And then there are two or three questions for your personal journal (Room 3), designed to challenge and encourage you, as you do the inner work of increasing your own self awareness and personal enlightenment.

And if you do find some personal benefit from any of those ingredients, there are a number of other resources (Room 6) which can take you deeper.

Once again, a warm welcome from all of us here, I hope you enjoy your visit, and return each day as part of your own journey towards a life filled with success... without stress!
