Still your mind:
Energy loss
-
It really is quite remarkable when we begin to
consider the vast amounts of energy we consume
needlessly. Large amounts of energy are used to
sustain our delusions, fantasies and various levels of
unawareness.
When we are centered and remaining in the
moment as much as possible, then our energy
flows smoothly from one moment to the next.
When we are able to approach each moment from
our center (our source), the appropriate response
to the actions of others and events around us will
occur quite naturally. This skill will sharpen
through the continued use of the meditation
techniques.
When we choose (and it is a choice) to leave
the safe haven of the present moment and
become caught up in our thoughts, imaginings
and fantasies, our naturally flowing energy
now is diverted. In order to maintain these illusions,
our mind will construct elaborate schemes and
rationalizations to justify our behavior.
For example, you feel slighted or treated unfairly
by someone, and the image of the event gets
replayed in your mind until resentment builds. Now
your imagination begins to envision and create
scenarios like "next time I see him/her I'm going to
tell them..." and "if they respond in this manner then
I'll respond with....".
On and on, the multiple possibilities of various
confrontations and interactions that may or may not
even occur are visualized, analyzed, and replayed.
The energy that would normally flow naturally and
allow you to rely on your immediate intuitive
abilities becomes blocked. That energy is now
required to sustain this continued layer of fantasy
between your true self and the other individual.
Furthermore, feelings of guilt may arise upon being
aware of these resentments and these guilty feelings
further tax your psyche and require yet more energy
to keep you from spiraling out of control.
These false layers block true, direct communication
between individuals and can become habitual patterns.
You may unconsciously extend these feelings towards
other individuals you encounter in the future. To illustrate
this point consider the following example.
Lets say the individual with whom the current
resentment involves, happens to have a reddish
beard. Three years later you happen to be
introduced to a stranger with a reddish beard and
immediately you feel a sense of uneasiness. All the
while you are completely unaware as to the basis of
this feeling. Be careful to note what you assume are
merely "first impressions" may possibly be
impressions from a previous experience dating back
days, months or even years!
To prevent the unnecessary depletion of your vital life
energy, try to commit to remaining centered in the
present moment. This will prevent the bottling up and
misuse of the very life force that will propel you from
moment to moment with ease.
