Do Nothing

This morning I woke up around 6:30am EST. When I realized I was in a waking state, my mind decided to send a few survival based thoughts into my awareness. These thoughts sent a jolt of fear through me. I began thinking "I have to call my debt collectors before they call me. I have to continue to apply to every job that I possibly can.". I started to feel a familiar perceived desperation of "needing" to control my external reality.
As these thoughts came into my awareness, I felt a gentle guidance. This guidance was to take part in my last group Quantum Navigation session. I shut off my thoughts, booted up my computer and accessed the recording of this session. Prior to beginning the meditation, I asked for help. I requested that my Higher Self and Guides provide me guidance about how I am supposed to approach my material life as well as the fear I have around interacting with debt collectors.
With my intentions for this meditation made clear, I settled in. Our teacher, Ronald Holt, began to guide us through the meditation, I had a number of thoughts continuing to interrupt my meditative flow. I ignored them and focused on what I set out to do, which was to be thoughtless. Once my mind was more clear a message that our teacher communicated became emphasized. The message was to "Do Nothing". I felt right away this message was why I was guided by my Higher Self to revisit this particular Quantum Navigation session.
After resonating with this message, I fell deeper into the meditation. Deeper into thoughtless-ness. However, I felt my mind starting to coordinate it's next onslaught of survival fear based thoughts. Then the thoughts started to flood in. I did pretty good with letting them go but that wasn't the point of this onslaught. I believe I was being pressured to ask myself an unfiltered question from my heart, which was:
"Why is my mind consumed with thoughts of survival fear and ways to control my external reality? I know better then to live this way. I am tired of this.".
That question, along with the statements which followed, came so naturally during the meditation. It was and was not a revelation. I say "was not" as I have awareness of why my mind has these types of thoughts. They are based on the thought patterns, habits and belief systems from my life. However, this time around this question was expressed from a deeper layer of myself. Even though I may have awareness of "why" I asked the question, that doesn't mean I am living the "answer". This morning's meditation helped with continuing that journey of self-realization and self-empowerment.
For the remainder of the meditation I was relaxed. I asked my Higher Self questions that were unrelated to survival fears, questions that were fun. One question of which was centered around Central City, Colorado. I'm not sure why I specifically mention that in this blog post but it felt right even if I don't provide you any context haha
After this Quantum Navigation session I was at peace. The message to "Do Nothing" was exactly what I needed. In doing nothing amongst the chaos of my external life, I am given a familiar gift with added depth. Faith. To have Faith in the unknown, not to fear the unknown.
As I normally do after any meditation experience, I pull two cards. This first card was the Galactic Heritage Card | 37: Single-Minded Focus - Orion - Past. What resonated with me immediately in the card was the following statement:
"This card suggests that you should choose to focus your energy wisely. Choose to remove focus from negative self talk and use your ability instead for spiritual evolution".
I recent weeks I have invested so much of my energy and attention into my survival fears. I'm exhausted of it so I am choosing another, yet familiar, path. I have the ability, and opportunity, at this time in my life to put my full focus into my creative pursuits. To create, network with like-hearted people and focus on myself spiritual practices. Next I pulled the "Going with the Flow" card from the Osho Zen Tarot deck. Here is part of that card's message:
"Every moment in life we have a choice whether to enter life's waters and float, or to try to swim upstream. When this card appears in a reading it is an indication that you are able to float now, trusting that life will support you in your relaxation and take you exactly where it wants you to go. Allow this feeling of trust and relaxation to grow more and more; everything is happening exactly as it should."
This was perfect and validated the messages that I have received today. I just need to float down the river peacefully and experience life as it comes to me while making the effort to follow my heart. After the meditation, Joy and I went for a long walk. It's Spring and the birds are out singing. Nature is blooming more each day so it was a beautiful walk.
So what is my plan for today? I am going to write my next podcast episode. I may also spend some time networking with like-hearted people over social media to see what comes out of that. I may even begin working with Artificial Intelligence on re-designing my logo. I'll just see where the day takes me.
Thank you for reading and have a great present moment!
Matt
