A stillness practice can cultivate a huge amount of energy.
From stillness, we have the most potential. Potential to move, share, connect, love.
When we are intoxicated with inputs and “doings,” our potential drops. We are already engaged.
From stillness, we can pivot and move.
So, the question is, when you return from retreat, or finish up a meditation, what are you going to DO with that potential, or that compassion that is cultivated?
Some people believe meditation is for themselves, for their relaxation, or to reduce their stress or improve “recovery.”
This is part of it, but by no means the whole.
It is for others, for the connection.
