Just hearing this word (Relax!) , makes me relax. A dear friend of mine likes to say this. He is right. Today as I read this post on Paulo Coelho’s blog, I am reminded of patience and of the need to relax, to just flow. Once again, in my Spiritual Path it is necessary to have patience and relax to allow yourself to go SLOWly. Here is the post:
O monge Shuan sempre alertava aos discípulos para a importância do estudo de filosofia ancestral.
Um deles, conhecido pela sua força de vontade, anotava todos os ensinamentos de Shuan, e passava o resto do dia refletindo sobre os pensadores antigos.
Depois de um ano de estudos o discípulo adoeceu, mas continuou frequentando as aulas.
“Mesmo doente, continuarei estudando. Estou atrás da sabedoria e não há tempo a perder”, disse ele ao mestre.
Shuan indagou:
“Como você sabe que a sabedoria está na sua frente, e que é preciso estar sempre correndo atrás dela? Talvez ela esteja caminhando atrás de você, querendo alcançá-lo, e de alguma maneira você não está deixando. Relaxar e deixar os pensamentos fluírem, também é uma maneira de atingir a sabedoria”.

Translation:
The monk Shuan always alerted his disciples to the importance of studying ancestry philosophy. One of them, known by his willpower, would write down all of Shuan’s teachings and spend the rest of the day reflecting about the ancient thinkers. After a year of studies the disciple got sick, but he continued going to classes. “Even sick, I will continue studying. I am going after wisdom and there is no time to waste”, said him to the master.
Shuan asked:
“How do you know that wisdom is in front of you and that it is necessary to be always running after it? Maybe it is walking behind you, trying to reach you, and somehow you are not allowing it. Relaxing and letting thoughts flow is also a way of reaching wisdom”.
SO, RELAX!!! Wisdom is trying to reach you. Be open and allow it!
How can you relax today? How can you relax right now?
