Day 43: Do nothing, let all be
Welcome to 43/365 short, daily meditations for a more mindful, relaxed, and connected life.
No rest, no reward. The best way to relax? Let it all drop, do nothing, and let yourself be.
1. What To Do:
Set a timer for 5 minutes. Take a couple of deep breaths.
Do nothing. Don’t think, let thoughts arise. Do feel, let feelings arise. Don’t breathe, let breath arise.
Continue until the timer goes off.
2. Why to do it:
When you do nothing, you let all else be done. You vacate the role of the self as the center of experience, and rest back as what you see, smell, touch, think, and feel.
This takes no effort, no control, and no preparation.
It’s available every single second of every day.
With time, you can do nothing while doing something. You simply let it be done.
The practice of this non-practice is what we do here.
