It takes a sensitive ear
to tune in to the
silence of the heart,
but it is there in each one of us.
The Daily Om
Nurturing Body, Mind, & Spirit
There was an earlier time when I believed enlightenment could only be experienced in a mountain monastery or in the presence of a spiritual guru. After years of seeking, I slowly discovered enlightenment residing inside of myself.
Resources are wonderful ... books, lectures, trainings, mystical experiences ... but you can save a lot of money and time if you simply go within as you already have everything you need. You just need to quiet your mind and listen.
Simply light a candle sitting comfortably in a chair. Let your mind be distracted by observing the dance of the flame. Breathe deeply and slowly while your heart opens spreading love throughout your body. Feel the calm melting away thoughts and fears. It is within this created space where silence resides. Your body relaxes into this solitude and you can hear your heart speak ... maybe without words, or with color and images, senses or feelings, or a strong impression.
It is best to have no expectations and to keep an open mind. Results may not be noticed for several hours. If you fall asleep during the process, your heart still speaks as your spirit listens.
Try to maintain an awareness afterwards in order to recognize the synchronicity this experience provides
