Ideas are already present in our atmosphere.
I’ve noticed that when I meditate, sit back & think, there’s a flow of thoughts and ideas.
Usually my best ideas, thoughts & plans have have came out of just meditation. When mobile & other distractions are away.
When busy, the idea flow slows down.
When the mind is relaxed, that’s where you get best thinking results.
An overly simulated mind, acts as a barrier in thinking process.
