The right kind of emptiness is easy to achieve. Start with stillness and silence. Empty yourself of everything you find there. That is all there is to it. Now, you are as empty as the space between breaths. Be there, emptying yourself of everything that interferes with the creative space between thoughts/ images/ memories/ fears/ emotions/ etc. Be conscious only of your breathing. Breathe in. Breathe out. Count to 5 in sync with your heartbeat. Breathe in. Breathe out. Count to 5... In the emptiness, stillness and silence. Open, waiting, breathing, counting, open, waiting... For realization, awareness, enlightenment, illumination, seeing, hearing, understanding, knowing, being... Then do what needs to be done. This is the way to the way all the way.
