Action and Stillness

Action needs to be balanced with Stillness.  Action focuses your life and moves it forward.  It has a purpose and is vital for growth.  

Stillness gives you the space to download, regroup and set/reset your goals. It is the time to connect with your Higher Self, time to ask for guidance, time to dream, time to open yourself to new ideas and approaches.

This has been a very physically busy week for me, with not a lot of time for stillness.  Invariably, I was so tired today that I took some time to rest.  Though I couldn't sleep, I did end up in this state of stillness, where I was able to come up with new action steps and new ideas.  And I also rested.  I feel refreshed.

I was not thinking non stop.  I laid down, closed my eyes and made my mind go blank.  It just felt that after a while ideas came into this space of stillness.  I had wanted to sleep, but instead this happened, which is fine too.  :)  In a way the process of falling to sleep is similar to meditating.
