Train your conscious and subconscious mind for greater mental health.
A pool of fresh water is special. It’s akin to our consciousness. If you observe closely, you may notice tiny waves or ripples in the water. These ripples are subtle, akin to the surface of your consciousness, the part you are aware of.
When it interacts with the world around you, such as through thoughts, sounds, speech, physical activities, or stress, it creates ripples. These surface ripples are what you’re commonly aware of.
Meditation helps to still these ripples. It’s entirely possible for your brain to become totally still and unmoving. When the surface of the brain quiets and becomes still, we can begin to see and feel what lies beneath. Without this stillness, we wouldn’t know there’s much more beneath our consciousness apart from what we can perceive on the surface.
