This lesson points out that accessing the wisdom of our subconscious often requires us to relax and take a break from "thinking."
And I know it's true--I have experienced it over and over and over in my life. When something is lost, sometimes I have to stop looking for it. That's when I find it. When I'm trying to think of a solution, I find the answer when I take a break and do something else.
The great thing is that this lesson not only points out that this happens, but teaches that we should seek more opportunities to communicate with our subconscious--that was the kicker for me. I have always been somewhat of a busybody--looking down my nose at people who I considered lazy. And, of course, that need to always be doing and juggling, is part of what landed me in the hospital.
But the more we consciously do things that access the wisdom of our subconscious, the more enlightened, wise, and knowledgeable we will be.
For years I would beat myself up whenever I took a nap in the afternoon. What a waste of time! There was so much I could be doing instead! No wonder I'm so behind in everything!!!! I kept setting goals that involved NOT taking a nap during the day--and even wrote in this blog about my "promise to myself" that for one week I would go without taking a nap.
But then I realized that there are times when a nap is NECESSARY for me--especially when I have a problem I am trying to sort through. Those moments right before I fall asleep are precious. It's like the twilight--not quite day, not quite night--a golden time of communication between both sides of my brain. And the great thing is that I can tap into that at ANY time.
One of the great things about Beyond Freedom and my association with the community is that they have given me permission to enjoy life. They have taught me that not only is it OK to relax, but it's actually beneficial.
Wow. What a great place to be. :o)
