"The principle we are working with today is STILLNESS. It is accomplished through the act of meditation, which is stilling of the physical/conscious mind to all external stimuli. Continuous, contemplative thought given to truth. A steady effort of the mind to know and hear the voice of God from within the being. The act of 'not doing' in an attempt to expand the awareness of 'being'. When we quiet the conscious mind to hear the Divine presence."
After reading today's commentary, I realize that there is no excuse for not meditating daily like I'm supposed to be doing. Instead I make up excuses for not taking 10-15 minutes each day to connect with myself. I need to bring my body, mind, and spirit into harmony. Everything in my life so far has been unbalanced causing great chaos. I am going to nourish my well-being completely from now on.
The key phrases I want to remember and work with today are:
"You floated around in the darkness of the womb for nine months and turned out okay. Is it so difficult to return to that state for five, ten, or fifteen minutes a day? Is it not worth a try?"
"MEDITATION is not hard. MEDITATION is necessary."
"In stillness there is knowing."
I was not able to meditate today because I was so tired and my head was hurting so much that I couldn't focus at all. I kept drifting away - either to sleep or in thought.
When I am able to meditate I feel rejuvenated and centered. I feel calm and in control. I feel PEACE. I can tell that my mind, body, and spirit have communed harmoniously.
I believe MEDITATION is necessary because it is very important to know your body. It is important to listen to our spirit and heed to what it tells us to do. Taking the time to become familiar with every nook and cranny and all the inner workings of ourselves is essential to healing and understanding.
