Blogs > Within and Inside

This blog is one about symbiosis. Its purpose is to help those out there going through hard times to find solace within. Through the act of questioning our society’s issues and dilemmas, as well as comparing large scale problems to personal ones, we can find a better understanding as who we truly are and how we truly operate. Once we have a firm understanding to this inner dimension our problems will seem less problematic.   This is, perhaps, the grandest of all goals.

Sustaining Stillness

As I said in a previous blog, I am going to provide a few examples/reminders of how you can incorporate stillness in your very busy life. First, let me tell you that stillness can entered even while in the midst of an activity. The stillness I am referring to is inner stillness; a sort of stillness often overlooked and underappreciated. So what I am about to suggest are ways that fit into your everyday life.

  1. Pay attention to your breathing. This will automatically calm you down and slow down the random/useless thoughts that are causing much of the stress in your life. You can do this while:
    1. Driving.
    2. Working. (Whether while behind the desk or out and about)
    3. Sitting on your couch watching television or
    4. Any time. You are always breathing so you can always pay attention to it.
  2. Feel within your body. Within that wondrous biomechanical object you live through is a flow of energy. Everything from blood to electromagnetism is surging through you and you can feel it. For times and locations to feel see above. If you are having troubles feeling the flow within see below:
    1. Feel anything within, either a slight buzz in your fingertips or a faint pulsating pump on your toes, there is something there to feel.
    2. Ask yourself: How can I know my body is there without looking or touching it?
    3. Imagine what it would feel like if a wave of energy jolted throughout your bones?
    4. Once you do feel something, let that feeling travel from your head to your toes.
