Most people are so wrapped up in the illusion of constant doing that they forget the power of simply BEING. So, why do most people always need to be on the go? What is so essential about getting things done that you never take moments to silence and enjoy the peace of conscious connection with your true spiritual self?
Believe this: no matter what items you place on your “To-Do List,” they will still be there waiting if you take a few minutes to enjoy the power of simply Being. It’s the space between thought and action that holds the power of the Universe. The mind’s clutter diminishes the power of the Universe if you are constantly going and doing. When we sit in silence, we open up to higher self-awareness, and solutions come bubbling up as if by magic. This eliminates stress; therefore, your physical body is rewarded with health.
Constant thinking is often overvalued and can hinder progress in life. If you are one of the many people who expend their energy worrying and constantly thinking about problems, consider that there may be a better way to attain solutions to life’s challenges. Many of the most successful people in history learned the power of Being early on in their careers. In his book “Think and Grow Rich,” Napoleon Hill, still considered one of the most influential self-improvement works of all time, interviewed pre-selected millionaires to discover a common thread linking their success. It took Napoleon Hill twenty years to complete his book, in which he describes the formula for becoming a success not only in business but, overall, in life itself.
While conducting his research, one of the most exciting insights Napoleon Hill discovered was a process that an American industrialist used to help himself become a multimillionaire – it was to sit and be still. He called this process “Sitting for Ideas,” where he would sit in a small room with nothing more than a desk, a chair, a tablet, and a pencil. He would sit in solitude, waiting for ideas to come. In reality, what he was experiencing was a rudimentary form of meditation. Freeing the mind of thought and allowing the Universe to bring awareness to challenges provides solutions. This American industrialist recognized that there was a greater power than himself, which could provide solutions to many of the business challenges he faced daily.
Therefore, the next time you feel a challenge in your life far beyond your control, perhaps it would be worthwhile to explore the power of BEING by sitting still in meditative silence. As your energy vibration increases, so does the power of solutions.
