Guest guest Posted June 20, 2004 Report Share Posted June 20, 2004 Has anyone been doing specific work on managing peace of mind during periods of stressful change, upheaval, chaotic surroundings, etc? I know some people by nature have less problem than others, or the chaos works with their desires so they establish a rhythm and feel they are progressing in life. The householder life! This is what I am talking about, but even for the sadhu, there must be times when life requires great changes and the usual schedule of devotions is upended ... I saw part of an otherwise not-so-great movie a couple nights ago ... in it a guy was telling how his boot camp sergeant would push the cadets long and hard so they would "learn to think effectively when exhausted." This was so they could survive in the jungle. Is there anything to this in anyone's experience, consciously working to developing the presence of mind to stay focused and calm, even when the environment and body are showing signs of going "kaput" ? steve c.
