When we’re stressed and don’t have a consistent meditation practice, it’s like we’re floating on the surface of the conscious ocean.
We only have access to top line information – only what we need to survive.
Stress restricts what our conscious filter lets in so we won’t get overwhelmed.
But as we meditate and move towards stillness inside – towards the Being state – we expand our consciousness and can handle more information.
By slowing down and de-exciting our nervous systems, we allow our minds and bodies to regain their full potential.
In Maharishi’s words, the whole ocean of mind becomes capable of being conscious.
Why stick to the rivers and the lakes that you’re used to when there is a whole ocean of consciousness available!
All you have to do is close your eyes and take a dive 💦
