Being Still

Everyday, let the silence fall, so far that you are completely quiet.  Choose a quiet, clean place in your home, close your eyes and be still.  If thoughts arise, let them pass by like clouds in the sky.  Watch out your slow silent breathing.  Carry this silence amidst the noise and haste of this world.  Your restful presence will soothe all those around you. Being still creates the space so you can disconnect from the outside world and turn your energies and awareness inwards.  It gives your mind and body the opportunity to rest and digest the day so far. Silence helps to settle and calm your nervous system. “The aim of  stillness is simple.  To pay more attention to your inside world rather than your outside world”  Carole Fogarty
