If you feel worn out or even tired inside, you are likely asking yourself how you can access untapped energy. The mind is always thinking, doing, believing. Its like a dog between your ears that never stops barking. What happens as the mind and movement of thought freezes?
Stand still like a statue. Feel how the joy and delight increases in stillness. Recall how it feels to keep your body inactive. Watch. Pretend you are a tree. Appreciate mimes you see in passing busking on the street. Stillness allows energy to build up and recharge. Keep the mind perfectly still a few minutes. Tiredness dissipates. It only exists as you think about it.
Get to know how it feels to be in the present moment. You do not have to describe it. The path is where no traveller is seen. As the mind rests, "you" disappear. The mind recharges its superpower. It loses interest in the past. Allowing stillness to be a focus boosts your energy. As the mind strengthens itself, it regenerates its own energy, sees past problems. You think clearly without making mistakes. Revelations emerge. Notice which 'inner knowings' you are now ready to hear.
When you are at peace with yourself, you are easier to live with and its easier to live with yourself. In many cases, physical, emotional, social problems appear to arise based on stress. This happens when the mind is overactive, tired, brittle. When it is soft, nothing bothers you. What do you notice as you open to more stillness in daily life? What does the experience feel like? How does this affect you?
“There is a point where in the mystery of existence contradictions meet; where movement is not all movement and stillness is not all stillness; where the idea and the form, the within and the without, are united; where infinite becomes finite, yet not.” -Rabindranath Tagore
