Thriving and Awakening Tip

In Survival Mode the mind is quite busy rehashing the past, anticipating the future, or judging the moment. As we use Thriving Tools, the mind becomes calmer and clearer.

When the mind becomes calmer there is frequently a sense of emptiness that can initially be quite disturbing. It’s common to avoid this emptiness by occupying the mind with TV, social media, and the like.

In Awakening Mode, the more we ground, meditate, and learn to support ourselves, emptiness becomes more comfortable and even inviting. We begin to experience emptiness as the source of everything. Every life form, invention, piece of music, etc. came from emptiness.

Learning to be comfortable with the emptiness allows us to flow with the creative life forces emerging through us.
