The topic for today is Here and Now.
It’s about the perfect stillness, peace, and silence at the center of all being.
Reminder: Silence is not the absence of noise, although that helps. It's not in a particular location, although
It’s something inside – and available all the time in all places
A friend told me her favorite place to practice the Silence is at airports – everyone caught up, late, rushing, and multiple announcements competing for attention.
She walks, mindfully, slowly, serenely, unhurriedly taking conscious note of any tendency her body has to tense up and comes back to the quiet presence within.
Reminded me that we can’t always have the perfect outer environment and that ought not to always stand in the way of inner peace.
What knocks you off your Center?
I was having a conversation with a friend whom I love.
And as she was talking I realized,
I hadn’t heard the last five sentences
I was anxiously going over a distressing situation that had happened
While I was reviewing multiple possible outcomes
And I missed the beautiful things she was saying.
Instead I was using my mind for negative visualizations.
Which has the effect of kicking my brain into fight/flight mode
Releasing stress hormones into my body
Elevating anxiety, loss of focus, reduction in motivation
My blessings to you,What knocks you off your Center?
And what do you do to get back?
