Returning to the Emptiness is kind of the opposite of what it seems to imply. The Universe is filled with energy and you are simply returning to the energy of the universe. In order to feel and appreciate this connection you must slow the mind down.
As you slow the mind down your power goes up
your stress goes away, you have insights and creativity, problems solve themselfs,etc.
The old saying of the Conscious Mind is only the tip of the iceberg, 90% is underwater and cannot be seen. In slowing down and connecting to the emptiness you also allow your sub conscious mind ( the rest of the iceberg) to move with you so you are one complete being. You can feel the rest of the Iceberg.
When you operate at a conscious level considered Beta you disconnect from most of your power.
In doing Qigong Exercises slowly and feeling them you allow your whole mind to catch up with you. It will "Defrag" you and make you a calm and complete person.
Feeling is the key to accessing this returning to Emptiness. Once you have this feeling, then your faith kicks in, you know it is there.
In working with people, maybe you can see why having them return to the Emptiness slows the mind down and the whole iceberg surfaces to work on.
