The OM principle

I have been thinking lately about, what I call, "The OM principle".

It works like this:
The O in OM stands for -"Observation". As my art teacher told me ,"We look but do we really see?" When with other adults or children do we observe and really listen? Do we listen to our pets? When on a walk are we mindful? When in a store or at work are we there taking in what is happening around us? Are we there? Yes, I know, I'm working on it.
But as I see it, it shouldn't be a struggle.

Than when we need an "answer" to something we don't let our brains think it out, but rather use the M in OM:
M stands for -"Meditate". We become quite, letting our brains and our bodies rest. When we are in this state of rest our mind, which is as big as the universe, can give us the answer. I've tried it it works. OM.
