advice Ideas

[Pattern]

You get the best ideas in silence. Try going to sleep earlier than normal and just stay up for 3 hours thinking. The results will be incredible, maybe even life changing

That's some good advice Daniel, and something that I do as often as possible. Sometimes people get so busy doing things (I am very guilty of this) that they just don't take time set aside and just think. Our minds are wonderful things and when they are given a chance, can do great things.

I try to do this as often as possible, but lately have not had the time to even think. When I have, it has given me some outlooks on things or solved problems that otherwise would have not been realized.

Anyway, great advice and I hope some of our members and even some visitors can benefit from it.

Often when I have a problem I can't seem to solve, I just take a nap and the solution reveals itself. I have had some of my best ideas from nap time.

Funny that you should say that. I have never been the type to be able to take a nap during the middle of the day. However, last week I was having an issue with one of my sites and I just couldn't think straight enough to figure it out.

I took a nap for about an hour or so and after the nap I was able to figure it out. Sometimes the mind just needs a break to function it's best!

I would love to go to bed early and get up early in the morning, but most of the times I end up staying up really late, trying to finish as many things as I can. The real silence I can find only during the night. However, I cannot sleep late in the morning and to tell you the truth, I sleep only like 5 hours per 24 hrs. Maybe it's a habit, I don't know what it is, but I hope I'll be able to continue like this in years to come.

Actually the opposite in meditation you try not to think about anything

Actually the opposite in meditation you try not to think about anything

The usual MEDITATION is always on the +ve aspect, the FEELING OF THE SELF. Blank medidation would just put you to sleep and is grossly negative. You don't want to become a stone, right?

Meditation on "an idea" is also done here in India, where you concentrate your brain energy on nothing but a single object, thus unifying your existence with idea of that object. This reveals to you all about that object.

Daniel, if you have slightest of interest in real meditation, you should know this man and his teachings:

He was firmly established in the Self.
