Have you ever seen a leopard or some other kind of predatory cat laying silently in a tree, often for hours on end, mindfully waiting for its prey👀?
It's fascinating how living organisms possess the capability to slip into near hibernation at will. Animals do this naturally and unconsciously, particularly for survival, hiding, hibernation or hunting, but humans have a superpower of being able to consciously, at any moment, enter into a state of pure and relaxed focus.
We simply have to tap into our primal, ancestral ability to do so, which can be oh-so-difficult in our modern, busy, distracted existence.
This practice of doing nothing, when practiced regularly, can also serve as a “reboot” for the nervous system. So sit. Think of nothing. Ponder nothing. Do nothing. Eyes closed, embrace pure darkness and nothingness🙏🏼.
