What does it mean to be stuck in your head?  

It basically means you are thinking or analyzing far more than you are experiencing.  It’s when you add analysis on top of every experience, which creates distance between you and the pleasure of that experience.  

Over thinking things can result in pre-mature ejaculation, loss of erection or simply not having pleasure in daily life.

It’s also when you are doing one thing (like having sex) but thinking about another (like problems at work).  

    In the first episode of the show nip/tuck, there is the perfect example of this when the main character, Shawn, is having sex with his wife.  She is laying there bored out of her mind while he is thrusting in and out. 

All the while the viewer hears his thoughts of “I’m gonna fire the gardener, the hedges in the front are lopsided, looks like he trimmed them drunk.”  Then his wife asks him, “Are you finished honey?”  He finishes up then meekly says “yes” and she pats him on the back and they both turn over and he goes to sleep.

Dr. Maoshing Ni explains the importance of mind-body communication in his book, Secrets of Self-healing,

“People generally either engage in mental activity and are oblivious to their bodies, or they engage in physical activity but their minds are wandering and not aware of what the body is doing.  In this way the body and mind, which are essentially one inseparable system, are split.

When this split is created and the body and mind do not function as one unit, the ability to realize our full potential is greatly impaired.  Nerve synapses atrophy from lack of use and vast areas of he brain lie dormant. 

Input from the external environment is inaccurately or incompletely transmitted to the brain, which in turn relays faulty messages as a response.  As a result, the nervous system doesn’t fully develop and the awareness of reality, both internal and external, is distorted.” -Dr. Maoshing Ni, Secrets of Self-Healing

How can we get out of our head?

The mind will keep thinking and thinking with no end. 

Often times it will go drudging up into the past or future, which can trigger subtle fears, resentments, or regrets which then leads to having an unhappy feeling in your day to day life and not knowing the reason. 

A healthy way to deal with it is to simply observe it, allow it to do its thing, and keep releasing the need to continue with any of its stories.

You are not your thoughts or your mind.

Your mind will still continue with the fears, doubts, and criticisms but they will not have as great of a pull on you when you allow them to just flow through you. 

Most of your thoughts are quite meaningless, and, research has shown that something like 90% of the thoughts you have today are the same thoughts you had yesterday.

Perhaps make it an intention to become fully present at any given time by focusing on the moment in front of you.

Try the conscious exercise we did earlier with your nose but this time do it while you are eating one of your favorite foods, checking out nature, or getting physical with a woman.

Meditation Exercise

To really improve your presence, try meditating once in a while.  Meditation isn’t hard; you just sit in a quiet place, close your eyes and focus on your breathing.  

The intention is to clear your mind of all thoughts and just “be to be”.  When you connect to spirit, your consciousness will feel like its expanding.  You may also feel a deep sense of relaxation, and with more practice, sudden bursts of bliss.

Meditation isn’t some magical thing, it’s actually very practical.  Ask any professional athlete this question: “How important is self talk and being in the moment while you’re playing?”  He will probably tell you that becoming good at self talk and being present is what makes the difference between the amateurs and the professionals.

It’s that crucial.

    Well that’s all meditation is!  Talking to yourself and being present.

    Scientific research is coming out that proves meditation actually allows cells to function more efficiently.  If you are interested in listening to an amazing lecture on this topic, check out Bruce Lipton’s Videos below:

 

He is a cellular biologist who became “spiritual” because of his breakthrough research and realizations.

    One of the profound things he mentioned from his findings is the fact that cells can only be in one of two modes: Growth or Protection.  When a cell is in protection, it is not growing.  When it is in growth, it is working to heal and grow itself.  

    When we are stressed, worried, or otherwise stuck in our head, we are sending all our cells into protection mode which literally stops them from growing!  Meditation (thoughtlessness) allows your cells to go back into growth mode, which allows them to become more efficient at healing and growing your body.

Here is an easy way to clear our mind and meditate:

1)    Sit in a comfortable position or chair with your spine straight
2)    Place your hands on your thighs resting with your palms up
3)    Touch your tongue to the roof of your mouth and hold it there
4)    Inhale deeply and silently repeat the mantra “Sat”
5)    Exhale with the mantra “Nam”

So when you are breathing it will go like this (very slowly):  “ssssssaaaaaaaaaaattttttt…nnnnnaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmm”

    Seriously, try it right now for 30 seconds.  

Go ahead, review the 5 steps above, stop reading and give it a try.
