TAKE TIME TO MEDITATE
AND PROCESS LIFE
Brock actually taught me this. He has a photographic memory
that takes in everything and ever since he was little he needed to walk around
thinking and meditating to process everything in his brain.
We are bombarded with media, advertisements, news, music,
TV, information, internet, people, places, things….
Our brain feels like we do when we have mounds and mounds of
laundry and dishes not knowing where to start to organize and clean.
Our brain needs time to process the bits of information and
organize it into useful/not useful, righteous/unrighteous, categories, etc…
We need to give it time to organize what we have already
uploaded…this can be done while uploads are still coming in…but runs much slower…
If we take a few moments each day to stop, deeply relax,
think/meditate…then our uploads can be processed much faster, easier, more
accurately…then we will feel calmer and more grounded. We will be able to think
clearly.
This is a better feeling than the way we feel explained as:
• Running
around like a chicken with its head cut off
• Flying by
the seat of my pants
• Too
stressed out to think
• Space
cadet
• Air head
• Speak
before thinking
• Frustrated
all the time
• Etc…
DEFINITION: The term meditation refers to a broad variety of
practices (much like the term sports) that includes techniques designed to
promote relaxation, build internal energy (chi, ki, prana, etc.) and develop
compassion,[3] love, patience, generosity and forgiveness. A particularly
ambitious form of meditation aims at effortlessly sustained single-pointed
concentration[4] single-pointed analysis,[5] meant to enable its practitioner
to enjoy an indestructible sense of well-being while engaging in any life
activity.
Meditation often involves an internal effort to
self-regulate the mind in some way. Meditation can help clear the mind and ease
many health issues, such as high blood pressure[6] , depression, and anxiety to
name a few (Yoga Journal). It may be done sitting, or in an active way, for
instance Buddhist monks involve awareness in their day-to-day activities as a
form of mind-training. Prayer beads or other ritual objects are commonly used
during meditation in order to keep track of or remind the practitioner about
some aspect of the training. Meditation may involve generating an emotional
state for the purpose of analyzing that state — such as anger, hatred, etc. —
or cultivating particular mental response to various phenomena, such as
compassion. The term "meditation" can refer to the state itself, as
well as to practices or techniques employed to cultivate the state.[7] In
brief, there are dozens of specific styles of meditation practice;[8] the word
meditation may carry different meanings in different contexts. Meditation has
been practiced since antiquity as a component of numerous religious traditions
and beliefs.
