How You Can Obtain The Runners Large At Will

By Rob Maraby

So what exactly is a runner's high? In this post I want to briefly discuss what getting this phenomenon means. For many people it simply happens by accident. The usual occurrence happens as follows- you are in a race or are running in a long run and your legs and body feel like they just won't stop and you are feeling as light as a further and with endless energy.

Other elements that identify this condition include having the feeling that you simply are invincible and that your legs won't stop and that you simply can work for miles without obtaining tired. In short individuals say the runner's high is quite like obtaining an orgasm and there is bliss and joy. With the runners high you really blissful, happy and joyful. The Runners high may be equated to a Zen like state or Zen run. This is a state where your work seems to be effortless. It frequently feels like you might be soaring via the air and you happen to be just one with the wind and environment. The runners high come with a deep measure of exhilaration. In brief it has been described as being intense as an orgasm.

The runners high for most people tends to happen after thirty to forty minutes of continuous running. It is rarely found in the beginning of a run.

It ought to be noted that most people equate the runners high as a physiological phenomenon and as such it can't be duplicated. This is why some days you seem to get it and other days it truly is impossible to achieve. The runner's high is not physiological but rather it is a mental phenomenon. In reality this high is truly the result of the complete absence of the ego and the mind. At that point in time, time itself is forgotten and as time ceases there is the total absence in the self or ego.

Self forgetfulness removes the limitation of the mind and so there is no runner just running and the run. This is why you don't feel tired with this high. This is so because without the runner (the ego) the run and running also cease to be. You are in a Zen like mode.

So how does one achieve the runners high? It really is merely attained by quieting the mind, ego and your thoughts. There are multiple ways of quieting the mind, one of the most well known is chanting, chanting is not the way to go because to chant you need the ego or the mind and this ego or mind is what stops the runners high from manifesting itself. The runners high can only be achieved when are running in the moment and now. At that moment there are no objectives and no mind to obtain those objectives.

Getting the runners high goes even deeper that this, because once you overlook the ego and mind , the "you" who wants to accomplish this run and get the runners high is also forgotten and also the run, the runner and running become one.

Some people use meditation to assist accomplishes this state but it truly is incorrect. Meditation requires the presence of the doer or the ego to perform meditation and this doer or ego prevents the occurrence of self forgetfulness.

In short if you forget yourself, you will be able to achieve the runners high at will, almost effortlessly. There will be no goal to achieve in your run and before you know it, you will be running with the wind and the run running and the runner will become one.
