So many of you complain that you cannot quiet the mind. You wish to sit in the silence, and for this we applaud you. There is no greater way to know your true nature and to commune with your Source. But it is true—you cannot go within and sense your oneness with God whilst the ego is chattering away, trying so very hard to enforce its false sense of separation.
How to overcome this? Quite simple. Begin each period of meditation by chattering away from your heart and soul. You do call this “prayer.” Take a few breaths upon sitting with eyes closed, then spend as much time as you need talking to God and your guides and your angels. Share your desires and fears, of course, but most importantly, express your gratitude. Chatter on and on, asking for what you would like to have in your life, and giving thanks that it is on its way.
This period of focused, connected “chatter” will set the stage for the quiet period to follow. In this time of prayer you have made your connection with Your Maker. Now in communion, sit for a moment—or many moments—and simply “be.”
Can you think of a better way to spend your time?
Talk with the spirit world. Let the thoughts flow. Guides and angels are omnipresent and listening. Most of all, speak words of gratitude for the guidance we receive each and every moment of the day. And the quiet calm will follow...
ReplyDeleteMay we each experience the joy of communion today as we sit in silence "and simply "be"...
I've read so much about meditation and such, and yet have never seen this advice before! Amazing. I'll have to give it a try and see how I can incorporate it with my students. With such a variety of spiritual beliefs it can be a challenge, but it's a great way to incorporate my desire for them to get to know their guides and recognize the presence of the divine in their lives. Thanks!
