2. Relaxation, Tension and Stress I. Why Important Knowing how to handle stress is a necessary part of inner peace. One can never be happy if under chronic tension. Life becomes a problem.
3. II. What are stress and tension? STRESS is chronic tension. Normally after we tense our muscles, we should be able to relax them again after the cause of tension passes. But when the tenseness becomes unduly prolonged, then it becomes a stress problem. Like a spring that is stretched all the time, it no longer returns to its original shape, and is no longer effective. Observe cat when relaxed -- soft. When tense -- arched and stiff back. Imagine if the cat normally walks with arched back all the time -- that's stress or chronic tension. This cat is neurotic.
