Hi Anita,
I often find myself busy, and on the move, on saturdays too. I have always taken healing work very seriously. Too seriously.
I am trying to relax more, and lighten up.
I often do my self work first, active, and meditation, then I feel optimum for helping someone else, being in the 'zone'.
I have seen through Master Lin's teachings, that one can enter the 'emptiness' , literally, in a second. As you get familiar with what that means, the emptiness, it 'is' right there to plug into. For me, I take that emptiness as being void, or, a focused directed thought, in regards to healing work. A space one enters with a singular purpose. Extended time in that focused intention, finds me going in and out of a void, or seeing my focused intention, then at points, just leaving somewhere...drifting in and out of that visualization. I am finding that the conscious focused activity seems to carry on, with, or with out me, as I come and go.
The 'space' that this happens in, has a familiar feeling to it. I agree with you, in the sense that you can connect there, on the move. In your case, your body still kept doing the treadmill, as you entered that 'space' and saw those smiling faces. I am learning, that as the list grows of all the needs to address, that my former elongated prep work and approach, is not always practical. It has its time and place, but, one can be effective addressing more things without me 'needing' all that.
A few wks ago, I just sat down for ten minutes on a saturday, and found it was very much, worth it. I felt it 'connected' and happened... The more one takes on, in terms of this growing list of healing work, if this is your choosing, is that one tends to be prayerful, during much of the day.
I have read and been taught, from more than one good source, that every completed 'positive' thought counts in helping the big picture balance. Also, that all thoughts are recorded in eternity. This tells me how powerful a single thought can be, especially if it is purposeful and has focused intention.
love,
gallen
