“We’re fascinated by the words–but where we meet is in the silence behind them.”
~Ram Dass~
Prayer is talking to the Divine. Meditation is listening to the Divine. Be still. Explore the depths of your own inner silence you meet the silence of the Universe.
Become a conscious listener. Choose to be fully present with life… still, silent and alert. Many people around you may find this uncomfortable because they are used to being bombarded with energy, noise and information, some actually reveling in the chaos. Seek out those who resonate with your stillness or spend some time alone.
Active listening opens a portal to higher realms of information. The insights and wisdom you receive will help you navigate through life. Compassion and understanding are the side effects of conscious listening. Choose to bring an open heart to your meeting place. In this space of awareness, you’ll discover an alternative viewpoint, garner understanding of others’ challenges or fears and have a greater opportunity to move into love.
