BE STILL MY SOUL
Thought Adjuster: “As you ready yourself for your morning Stillness time, the thought came to your mind that for any serious ‘meditation rookie’, it is important to select the most favorable time to engage in the Stillness Practice.
Early morning, upon arising, is one of these wonderful windows of opportunity, as after a good night's sleep, your mind is refreshed and still disconnected from the mental chatter that resumes as it reconnects with its ongoing ‘storyline’ and its many challenges.
Indeed, Stillness is more prevalent and more readily accessible to you at the onset of the day. Most people are still asleep, and, therefore, the mass consciousness in your community is quieter.
An evening Stillness Practice provides a positive closure for your day. It helps you purge your mind of its busyness and overloads, and preps you for quality sleep.
By setting the conscious intentions to be guided while you lie unconscious, you authorize Spirit to step in ‘while you sleep on it.’ This, in turn, contributes to a better frame of mind upon your awakening and to ongoing spiritual enlightenment.
The Stillness practice is multi-purpose: Not only does it establish a connection with Spirit and your Teachers and Guides, but it also helps you maintain a state of inner peace that contributes greatly to your overall well-being. It acts as an emergency brake you can activate whenever your human vehicle risks spinning out of control due to stress overload.
By persevering, you will quickly become more confident and proficient in your daily practice. What may have initially required some effort on your part to subjugate your inner restlessness will soon become second nature. Ultimately, it will be your first nature, and you will wander through your days equipped to swiftly deal with their many pop-up challenges while remaining cool and collected.
This is the most convincing testimony you can offer to your siblings who have not yet come to taste the many blessings waiting to be bestowed upon them if they only were willing to give it a try.”
