“When you arise in the morning think of what a privilege it is to be alive, to think, to enjoy, to love.”
~Marcus Aurelius~
Stillness is the doorway through which one can access inner wisdom. Choosing to begin each day with consistent practice – gratitude, meditation, prayer, yoga, writing, etc. – generates a movement of energy that will allow you to tap into that same peacefulness more easily whenever needed.
When facing a challenge, see if you can observe any reactivity or defensiveness that arises. These ego-driven surface tensions are meant to distract you from the lesson or healing that is at hand. Live deeply and enter the realm of infinite possibilities contained within the Now. This moment is the point of power and transformation and your state of consciousness absolutely matters.
Live in communion with life. Become one with the experiences that come your way and walk the path with humility. Look deeply into the eyes of another – a loved one, a child, a friend or simply hug a tree and realize that the love is returned. The sacred works through all forms, calling you home. In stillness we can experience the fullness of life. Bring that sacred energy into the present moment.
