Alan Watts said that 'the easiest way to get into the meditative state is to '๐๐ข๐ ๐ก ๐๐๐ ๐ก๐๐.'
But for most of us, that's easier said than done.
Because to ๐๐ข๐ ๐ก ๐๐๐ ๐ก๐๐ means to ๐๐ข๐ ๐ก ๐๐๐ ๐ก๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐กโ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐.
And these days, we are constantly tempted to keep doing and doing and doing.
We have long, infinitely growing To-Do Lists.
We have feeds filled with addicting distractions.
We have bills to pay and families to take care of.
We have to keep ๐๐๐๐๐ more to stay ahead of things, right?
Well, no, in fact that's wrong.
Doing ๐๐๐ ๐ is the key to doing more.
More quality, that is.
And one of the best ways to quiet the noise and actually hear what's important is to practice ...
... listening.
Here's the thing about Sounds:
Sounds, whether external or internal, are a bit like ocean waves.
They will never stop flowing.
They come and go, in and out of our perception, at their pace - not ours.
We cannot control what sounds are happening.
Thus, forcing yourself to stop, even if just for a few minutes, and listen to the sounds around you - without ๐๐๐๐๐ anything about them - is great practice.
You'll quickly find that all sounds recede ... even repetitive thoughts, if you sit long enough.
So, what happens when you get better at listening to sounds?
You improve your perception of reality, you raise your awareness, and you become better at distinguishing the signal from the noise.
That and, your taking good mental care of yourself with a healthy daily pause.
Give it a try.
You don't have to ๐๐ anything ... except ๐๐๐ ๐ก๐๐.
