Take Time to Meditate and Process Life


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.
