Quietude - A need for Meditation

We live in an unrelenting Anxiety Culture; it’s a symptom that a lot of people seem to suffer from. Most never really learn to deal with it, and a few others trot down to the doctors for a bit of help. Unfortunately for them they are never the doctor is generally suffering from the anxiety of seeing all his patients. The mind rolls ever onwards with its internal noise of half-crazed random thoughts. Anxiety is a symptom of this noise, but only when we associate to closely with our thoughts.

I wrote at the beginning of the year - how I discovered that these same random thoughts carry on throughout our sleep-time. They are there, not because we generate them, but because they are a product of our environment. Sometimes this means we just need a little quietude. These thoughts are rattling around inside our sub-conscious, and our wakeful mind is resting on them like a heavy granite slab keeping them pinned down. The noise needs a chance to express itself, hence it rears its head in the form of symbolical thought - either in your waking life, or in your dreams. And in many cases, both.

You can give these symbolical thoughts a better chance to express themselves, if you allow yourself some quietude. Meditation is great for this, and in particular I always recommend binaural beats. The Holo-Sync binaural beat technology specializes in releasing much of this suppressed gunk, and it is indeed very effective.

Another interesting aspect of this, is that once your mind becomes more ‘in-tune’ with your sub-conscious thoughts, it opens up increased possibilities for lucid dreaming. This is a reflection of our waking state - where we are often in a dream-like autopilot condition. The push for wakefulness in our thinking and actions is very much about being lucid, we just need to be aware of the noise that is constantly in our minds - and begin to work with it rather than keep on suppressing it.
