Emotional turmoil begins with an initial perception of a sight, sound, or thought, which leads to a feeling of discomfort. When you feel that initial tug, remain steady, relax into the energy you feel, stay with the experience, let the energy move through you without getting stuck.
There is a universal energy that permeates all things. This energy is always available to you at any time that you need it. We call it by many names, but it is nameless and is indescribable. It has been there forever and will always be there, everything originates from it.
The mind is desperate to fix the river in place. Possessed by ideas of the past, preoccupied with images of the future, it overlooks the plain truth of the present moment. Dissolve your mind, let it be quiet, and find peace and clarity in the present moment.
If you want to act on something, first, you must have a clear understanding of it. If it is a problem that you don’t understand fully you can just act on the parts you are clear on, thus reducing the problem a little at a time until the parts that are not clear are all that are left.
