Clearing Your Cluttered Mind


Are you a brain scientist?  I know I’m not.  Even if I were a brain scientist, I would want to occasionally take a break and relax.  Allow my brain to find a few calm, quiet moments.

Your brain, a small part of your body mass directs a lot of your bodily functions.  It’s connected alright to your spinal cord and directs your nervous system.  Geesh, it’s a powerhouse.  How many electrical generators would it take to power your brain? 

Your body just naturally supports your brain.  What do you feed it?  Inputs like omegas, protein, and veggies help your brain. How do you train it?  How do you calm and relax it?

It thinks almost 20,000, 30,000 even 40,000 thoughts a day.  Doesn’t it deserve a break, a vacation, a peaceful siesta?  You could give your brain a break, vacation, siesta every day through meditation.  Each minute that you meditate creates a more peaceful minute the next minute and it builds upon each thought you release. 

 Pow.  It could improve your creativity.  When all the cluttered thoughts, worries, stressors, are set free you could find in that inner silence that has developed, the mysteries of your creativity or some other treasure you weren’t expecting.  Unexpected solutions to problems may appear.  A blank slate can be filled again with clearer thoughts.
