RUBBER BAND

During meditation, you can focus on your body by using a meditation stool or bench. This helps your body to sit in an easy and concentrated way, which will prevent you from dozing off while contemplating God’s Word (see Key 23 for making such a bench yourself).

Sitting down occasionally in a concentrated position is not enough, however. When you lead a busy life, your body has to deal with stress regularly. Both positive and negative stress stir a process in your body that releases adrenaline, endorphins, and cortisol. Cortisol slows down the construction and maintenance of our body. It also inhibits the formation of antibodies. Your physical resistance is then decreased and most of your energy is mobilized to respond to ever-changing circumstances. Stress is not unhealthy as long as a period of recovery follows. If that period of recovery and slowing down is absent, you will destroy your muscle tissue. If you stretch a rubber band for too long, it will eventually lose its elasticity. With some rest, an occasional day at a spa, regular exercise, and good nutritional habits, you ensure that your rubber band does not snap and retains its flexibility.
