The waking life is one of stimulation and action. Our brain calculates organic equations with such ease that we don't even think about it. The cerebrum is the thinking part of our brain, and it allows us to preform our everyday functions such as moving, remembering and thinking. We are essentially thinking machines and we are very good at it. But a problem arises when we need to rest but the brain wont slow down.
The mind may have trouble resting because thought stimulation is addictive. The cerebrum is made to think, but it must be controlled or we will be controlled by runaway thought. Many thoughts are ‘busy thoughts,' or ones that exist only for simulation. We get 'worked up' when we are active and being social, and sometimes it is hard to come down from that.
The best way to counter rogue thoughts to relax the mind. While we relax our brains defrag - the data is organized and we can better examine and make sense of our experiences. During the day all kinds of thoughts mat cross the mind: different scenarios; remnants of the past; a repeating song; tomorrows agenda; our next purchase; inner dialogue. It can be hard to turn off all this thinking. But, when it is time, allow these busy thoughts to manifest, escape, and dissolve. If we listen carefully to our individual silent center, all useless thought will vanish and we will be left with our higher self. Only then can we effortlessly discover any solution and over come any self doubt.
Focus on releasing the mind. Ignore the busy thoughts. Come to peace and allow the mind to rest. Like a moving car, you don’t want to stop it suddenly... but slowly. The best solutions are always simple and fluid.
Let all mental stimulates go to space. Feel the water settle. Answers come from listening.
