Stillness… Calm…

Hey all,

     Today, I’m posting a post on stillness, and calm, which I read in a blog called Want Peace? This post struck me as quite meaningfull, and full of useful philosophy!




We each have a different pace, a
different energy level that we run on. And there are many phases in our
lives that vary from hectic to calm.

If
life tends to get away from us for a long period of time, we may be
running on empty. Or we may be keeping up with such a tight schedule
that we don’t know where the months have gone or what our goals were in
the first place.

At
times, if I don’t stay aware of what I’m doing, I can fill my schedule
to the rim, because I have the time and the effort. But nowhere is it
written that I HAVE to. In those times when my pace is too hectic, I
rarely have feelings of being grounded and centered. That’s when I need
to remember, that in order to maintain some sense of balance, I need to
have moments of quiet and moments of absolute stillness.

In
stillness we have opportunities to listen to ourselves…even if we
have nothing important to say. Those moments give us a chance to get
realigned and refocused. We may have epiphanies. We may simply need to
rest. Without realizing it, we respond to our own heartbeat and
breathing. We know ourselves the best. This gives us the chance to just
be with ourselves.

If
a moment of stillness makes us uncomfortable, edgy, or impatient…we
can ask ourselves what might be behind that. The answer may be
enlightening. For some of us, it may not work at all. But at least we
can try it a few times to see if anything changes.

And the moment does not need to be long. Even one minute can be beneficial.

    Ladies and Gentlemen, a quite moment of peace… Lets be still, and make the air reverberate with our stillness… Lets make peace…
