I am stillness

Day 25 – STILLNESS

Today, let’s realize that no matter how bad things seem to be going in our personal lives, we can always rediscover love, security, and peace of mind.

  1. I sense and feel peace. My insides are calm and I feel a closeness to my creator with a sense of being and bringing more love into this world with less judgement and resentment. I feel a want and a need to be more light and less darkness.

  2. It’s quiet and cold. I can hear my dog snoring and the cars driving on the freeway that’s next to my backyard. I can feel how calm my mind is. No busy thoughts. I can tap into my inner child or my inner voice to sense what it is I need but I try not to go there now as I’m kind of afraid to hear things I don’t want to hear since my inner voice is quite critical of myself.

  3. Right now I am in a noisy motel room and I can hear children laughing, street traffic, doors slamming and people going up and down the stairs. It is hardly stillness around me, even though I am still.

  4. I just took the time to try and go within without a guided meditation successfully for the first time in my life. I was aiming for 5 minutes… and opened my eyes 30 minutes later. It was incredible. I don’t know if I have words really to write about everything I saw, sense or felt (or that it will even make any sense), but I can try. I was hyper aware. At first I was really focused on my breath, when my mind would come busting in to let me know that I’m hungry, or I want some tea, or I should really start reading this book for a paper I need to finish tomorrow, I just went right back to focusing on my breath. That happened a few times but eventually it slowed down and time seemed to as well. It was strange because I was conscious and aware the whole entire time, but it was a different type of consciousness. I know it from meditation, but I’ve never lead myself into “stillness” on my own. I then sort of let myself guide myself. I could hear everything going on around me, I could sense love and support, and I just felt at peace, rested, content.

  5. I feel the pains in my body. I feel my heart, reliability circulating blood circulating where it best serves. The popping air pockets between the spaces while breathing into those areas and relax with structure. Just the same, I hear the cracks of this old house as it moves with a gust of wind. Everything around, alive and breathing. I see the deep imprint of photons on my retinas. I feel my cells talking to one and other, letting each other know they’re doing a great job. I feel peace. I am peace. I feel at home in the stillness.
