What an idea, non-doing. And as I keep reflecting on it, and if you have also at any point in your life taken that bigger pause, or have contemplated, or have felt this massive spacious shift emanating from your core, or dove into a wider ocean of emptiness which is as sacred as stilling oneself mindfully. Non-doing is filling your heart’s cup with rest and body with ease. An affirmation of harmony. It doesn't mean we are unproductive, unyielding or of no use. It is rather more into recognizing our inner compass of quietude, as in it lies an innate ability of letting go and be ever present, being mindfully productive. It is a path of least to no-resistance which continues until our last breath as a flow of unperturbed energy.


The very human quality to bring in fear, incessant chatter and noise into a still, quiet self which needs nothing, yet presence is an unaware mental aptitude. Cultivating a non-doing attitude is supportive and evolutionary in today's world.


How much are we available to ourselves at a specific moment? And how are we embodying the notion of flow state is of value and a creative force that drives us towards bettering our lives and states of living. When we are non-rushing, not knowing and non-grasping, there's less pressure on our autonomic nervous realities, hence we are intimately tending to our inner garden of serenity and pausing. Where living is like catering to meaningful, natural and agreeable resources. Treading the path of non-doing or effortlessness is a way into recognizing deeper complexes of our psyche and soma. The art of not forcing, can be uniquely fathomed in such a pacey world right now, where it's all about numbers, results and tangibility or constantly looking outwards to be gratified. Non-doing is like a back seat dweller. By bringing it to a conscious abiding, befriending or practicing it, our stress responses of an ever performing anxious self-starts dissolving by degrees. Coming back home to ourselves, to our heart’s amity, forming new neural pathways of simply being, breathing or pausing, is an everyday ritual. Non-doing is also reframing our life stories and those of our lineages. We start to feel, hear, heal and sense ourselves fully. Non-doing is a rewiring. When I say going back to Self, or coming back home, or acknowledging the heart. All these spaces and shifts are aiming toward a gentle return, and internal repairing of who we are in a collected calm world.
