Extreme Quiet
If you have been around noise all day—people complaining,
crowds in stores or bars, or the ratcheting noise of a factory, you may need
some extreme quiet. Sometimes it feels impossible to find that one place where
everything and everybody disappears so that your body and mind can get that much
needed rest and peace. This is where meditation helps.
The cognitive, deductive mind is working the moment you wake
up and realizes that you are in your bed, in your home, and have to get out of
the bed to proceed with your day. The whir of the proposed day goes through
your head: I’ve got to rush through my shower to make it to work on time; I’ll
pick up coffee at Starbucks to give me a rush of energy; I’ve got to get the
kids to their game, the pool, school; I have so many home projects that need
completing…
We tend to move into the deductive mind without even
thinking about spirituality and the possibility of adding a spiritual
connection to this myriad of things to accomplish. But when you stop and take a
few moments for meditation or prayer, or read some kind of inspiring message,
pray for the day to be led by angels, ask that you be a conduit for good, ask
for grace in your dealing with all of the people you may touch, but most importantly—pray
that you may be a vehicle for Spirit’s good throughout the day.
Just taking the time to consider opening your spirit self
will allow the frantic energy of the day to subside exponentially. When I miss
my spiritual time, it feels as if every part of the day is a struggle. When I
take the time to meditate—even if it is just 2 minutes—my entire day changes
course. It’s as if God and angels move before me and help me get through some
of the most difficult times. I find myself in many more synchronistic moments
where spirit leads me to people and things that are purposeful and help me grow
as an individual.
I find that I am more compassionate as well. Just one moment
makes all of this connectedness and beauty happen. Can you imagine if you took
more than a few minutes and actually dedicated 30-60 minutes a day to quiet and
meditation what would happen to your day and to your body and mind?
Another action you can do is to dedicate some of your day to
creating art, practicing an instrument, walking in a garden or around a lake or
wooded area. All of these things, quiet the mind and body and allow for us to
connect with our soul, which is the place where our spirit and God’s spirit are
operating in tandem.
Namaste.
