Why Dynamic Meditation Is Essential For Every Entrepreneur

Why New Meditators Feel Frustrated (And What to Do Instead)

When starting a new meditation ritual it’s not uncommon to feel more confused than relaxed. Many busy business owners find their mind is racing around an unfamiliar void, searching for control and context. They wonder, “What exactly am I supposed to “DO” when I connect with the present moment?”

For others, their first few meditations are emotionally charged. Especially if suppressed fear and anxiety starts to surface from their chest. 

Many jump to the conclusion “it’s not for me” while others might turn towards guided visualizations. They don’t realize the cognitive dissonance is a good sign. It generally clears in a few moments… and that different types of meditation yield different results.

They might ease into it better with targeted dynamic practices, such as chanting or tapping. Or larger physical movements such as ji gam, tai chi, qigong, taoist yoga, sun salutations, vibration stress release, or ecstatic dance. Even something as simple as toe tapping to recharge your meridian energy can serve as an accessible entry point into dynamic practice.

A Well-Rounded Meditation Ritual Includes Many Styles

What may not resonate so well with you at one stage, may transform your life down the road.

We can get so much more from meditation than simply mindfulness based stress reduction. Inhaling and exhaling to release stress is a great regulation technique, but it does not create lasting change. If you’re looking for practical next steps, these 3 strategies to release stress and restore flow complement dynamic practice by giving you a concrete starting framework.

On the other hand, dynamic meditative techniques have the power to recalibrate your body mind and spirit back to zero..  Freeing your mind for more proactive activity. See: Release Stress With Water Up/ Fire Down Energy Condition.

Since the purpose of meditation varies, it is important to develop a toolkit of techniques to serve you well in any situation. For example, when you need to quickly return to center between meetings or before a high-stakes call, you can get grounded fast with belly drumming, a surprisingly accessible technique that works through sound and vibration to reset your energy in minutes.

• Guided visualizations are valuable when you are goal setting and want to visualize what success looks like. (see: Portals To Clarity)
• Guided meditations work well to help you uncover answers to the important questions in life. The ones that change your outlook, but would never occur to you during daily life.

Neither method gives you the executive ability to manage your brain and your energy well, because they are passive.

Passive meditation including transcendental meditations don’t widen your range of motion. Neither do they cultivate the attributes of presence, objectivity, focus, memory, resilience and heightened intuition, so vital to entrepreneurial success. If you find passive practices leaving you stuck in mental loops, explore this meditation for negative thoughts as a targeted first step toward more active mental mastery.

So while guided meditations and visualizations are beneficial in the right context. (I use them with my students for resolving the important questions in life, goal setting, and conflict resolution. )…

They are NOT going to:

• Get you off the rotating hamster wheel of stress, and when entrepreneur stress keeps you awake at night, passive techniques simply don’t have the power to break the cycle.
• Equip you to negotiate effectively
• Improve challenging relationships.
• Train your brain to a toned and agile state of awareness
• Provide the timely insights that will quickly give you the edge in your market.

Especially when compared to dynamic meditation practices. Dynamic meditations are very different from guided visualizations and meditations, and they produce dramatically different results. When overwhelm strikes mid-day, for example, dynamic meditation for overwhelm relief can restore your balance and clarity far faster than any passive technique.

Every Entrepreneur Is Already on a Self-Mastery Journey

If you are ready to make that journey of self mastery intentional, explore this self mastery system for entrepreneurs that maps out the progression step by step.

Creating a business and value to others out of thin air. Adapting their character and capacity to align with its success. This is the Tao of creating clarity from chaos—finding your footing and forward direction even when the path ahead is uncertain. Ideally, our achievements enrich us as we offer our products or services. Providing us with abundance, happiness and fulfilment in return.

Dynamic meditations are essential to self mastery. They are based on principles of energy which integrate body, mind and spirit. If you want to experience this firsthand, try this 10-minute dynamic Qi-energy meridian practice to feel the difference immediately. These meditation practices ground us in the here and now, and reign us back in when the mind wanders. As you pay attention to your movements, you learn to MOVE energy, empowering and releasing at will. They purify and empower us from the inside out. They are instruments for self-empowerment and done right, they produce resilience, wisdom and higher intuition.

You can achieve the freedom of time, money and impact you started your business for in the first place. Instead of having to choose between your personal life and small businesses success. This is the shift that matters most—learning how to shift from survive to thrive so your energy fuels growth rather than just keeping you afloat.

How to Channel Your Energy for Peak Performance

Energy exists in three forms:

• Light
• Sound, and
• Vibration

Energy travels in waves. In our case, brain waves send energy (and messages) through energy lines that network through our body, called meridians.

Our body sends energy and messages back to the brain as well, creating a symbiotic relationship of information and experience.

Through the meridian network, we use our body to train our brain, and our brain to train our body, with energy being the bridge (the carrier of information). Not unlike a telephone line, sending and receiving messages. Practices like 5 Elements Qigong to energize your meridian system offer a structured way to put this principle into direct practice.

You send a message, observe the response, tweaking as you go, until the lines are communicating clearly. Building integrity. Releasing tension, kinks and static.

Mastering the ability to harness your mind and direct your energy, will raise your performance in every aspect of your life. See: How To Activate Your Energy System For High Performance

Providing you with an edge in business, abundant energy through the day, and enriching your relationships. Applying energy management principles for daily flow ensures these gains translate into sustained momentum rather than short bursts of peak performance.

We call masters of energy, “Adepts”.

Adepts achieve great results with less effort, moving with a relaxed concentration, and economy of motion. 

My “Human Energetics” and “SMART Entrepreneur Empowerment System”  (SMART = Self Mastery through Action, Resilience & Transformation), use many forms of static and dynamic meditation.

Each style has a specific benefit. They:

• Revitalize every cell in your brain and your body, deep into the marrow of your bones.
• Widen your range of motion and build resilience. Empowering you to create success in life and business. This is the essence of balancing strength and flexibility under stress. Building the capacity to hold your ground and adapt simultaneously.
• Build an unshakeable foundation; physically, emotionally and mentally.
• Keep you connected to your values, enriching your relationships and leadership skills
• Bring clarity, focus and simplicity, for decisive action and momentum.
• Provide the ultimate form of holistic conditioning, from the inside out, starting with the core.

This is essential for entrepreneurs because we are on a path of constant change. It’s usually a fear of change that keeps us stuck or playing smaller than we intended. Releasing that fear is itself a practice, one that Metal Element meridian work for letting go addresses directly through the lungs and the body’s natural capacity to release what no longer serves you.

Successful Entrepreneurs Think Like Tao Adepts

I say this because we need to move with an economy of motion, mastering our health, mind, time, and energy.

We need to be mindful, adaptable and responsive. To be engaged with our families, claim our space in our markets and set clear boundaries. We also need good instincts, clear minds and strong communication skills to be impactful. Developing adaptability through strength and flexibility is what allows you to hold your ground and remain responsive at the same time.

If you haven’t yet, I hope I’ve inspired you to start exploring more dynamic meditations. Ideally assigning them first place in your daily self connection ritual. To get started right away, the dynamic energy meditation video training walks you through the practice step by step so you can experience the difference from day one. We have to make sure we master ourselves and our businesses, so we don’t get trapped working too hard to experience the rewards.
