Hi Vimal,
Felt to respond to this, I am also currently tackling inertia and inactivity. Feelings of not seeing a way to put my skills and abilities into practice. I trust my story will somehow reflect to you.
For me the biggest hurdle is the logical mind overriding input, I am currently looking at myself to catch me in the act and observe what's going on, this requires not judging myself for using the logical mind and not wanting it to be diminished or to go away. Earlier today I went out to practice being guided by the inner pull from higher mind. Lower mind was already working on where to go and what to do but I sort of glossed over it and made a point to just observe and when I noticed it taking hold to then let go and place attention back on feeling the movement of energy through all chakras.
Leaving my house, outside was a piece of candy packaging that caught my attention so I picked it up. The only readable part was relating to the flavour and was '(te) krachtig!' which translates to (too) powerful! speaking to me of the probability of overriding from both sides, i.e concentrating on higher mind could just as easily lead to a disconnect from the lower chakras as the other way around. After that, lower mind kept on piecing together 'what else does it mean? How does this tell me where to go I should keep an eye out for this and make sure to prevent that...' but I caught myself pretty fast and went with the feeling sense that I had the information I needed and move on. Only then I noticed the piece was dark blue and purple, which I considered a good sign.
I could tangibly feel the energy stream down on of three possible directions I could go, it made no sense to go elsewhere. I was on my bicycle, there were corners where I simply let myself 'fall' in a particalur direction (or went forward if it did not happen) also a moment where I felt nothing, but then a purple car driving in the direction of a dark blue piece of machinery clicked into the same feeling of energy.
Drove around for maybe twenty minutes following a route that made no logical sense without wanting to get anywhere or experience anything got me on a bicycle path through the trees following a canal, there was a bench and I decided to sit down, when lower mind was going 'oh wait are you exhausted no you're not also this isn't how you should handle that what are you doing don't sit down you're freewheeling keep moving' but again I caught myself and placed attention back on the energy moving through the chakras and there was a very strong 'I'm gonna &$%& sit down whether I like it or not'. Enjoying the small piece of nature that was present.
Less than five minutes later a man I had never met approached the bench on his bicycle in a manner that looked as if we had agreed to meet there and we had a very interesting conversation about the universe. He is a quite unique soul and I am very grateful that we met. It has strengthened my resolve and getting just one step closer makes any feelings of inertia irrelevant, as something has been achieved today. The energy was not consistent today but it doesn't have to. If change is the only constant, why look for consistent energy? :)
