For a set of scales to balance it has to have equal weights on opposite sides. Likewise, in our lives that we must have equal weight on opposite sides.
How do we balance Motion? With lack of motion.
The closest we can come to lack of motion with our 'perpetual motion machine' bodies and our constantly busy minds is to be still for at least some part of the day.
I read a book recently called 'Talk and Grow Rich' in which the author, Ron Holland, devotes the first two chapters to what he calls S.S.S. - Silence, Stillness and Solitude.
S.S.S. is a method of meditation - an answer to stress, a way to tap into our natural creativity and to hand over our problems to the subconscious mind - the master mind.
The technique is simple but not easy. According to Holland, you find a place where you won't be disturbed and you empty your mind. Try not to think of anything. If you do this for half an hour a day, you will find your life will change.
By using this technique, you will generate more good ideas, what Ron Holland calls 'Eurekas'. Your health will improve and you will have more peace of mind. You will also be more energized.
Great men such as Thomas Edison and Leonardo Da Vinci used techniques such as this to power their genius.
Meditation is a Natural Energy Booster.
'Clear Your Mind' is the first book in my series, 'Allow Yourself...You Deserve It'. In this volume, I talk about how, we pick up thoughts and opinions from others throughout our lives, and many of these thoughts are negative. The mind has a habit of replaying these as we go about our daily lives. The noisy mind interferes with our enjoyment of life and our creativity.
So while you are getting into action every day, and making sure you tap into the Natural Energy Booster of being in motion, also pay some attention to the other side of the balance by making time to be still and to clear your mind of any thoughts.
As the poet Cary said:
Strive not to banish pain and doubt,
In pleasure's noisy din.
The peace thou seekest from without
Is only found within.
Live with Energy
