Stillness ...

"In the midst of movement and chaos, keep stillness inside of you."

Deepak Chopra

When we are still, it doesn't mean we are giving up or disinterested in life. Quietude can breed fresh perceptions with deep understanding. If we choose to pause in the midst of chaos, we are not caught up in the negative collective energies permeating our body, mind and spirit.

The month of December calls us to engage with the process of completion. Closure is beneficial prior to the end of the new year. Disengaging can bring feelings of relief or sadness. When we remain persistent, however, clarity begins to return.  A fresh sense of hope can generate new thoughts of possibility.

Soak in the peace experienced within silence rather than the tempo of the maddening crowd. Discern parts of the self that if released, expansion for new creations would prevail. Explore aspects needing to be polished and applied. Feel a sense of excitement as a new image of the self begins to unfold, nurtured in stillness.
