Today I want to invite you to be still

.

.

Thomas Merton says “So perhaps

I have an obligation to preserve the

stillness, the silence, the poverty, the

virginal point of pure nothingness

which is at the Center of all other loves.”

.

.

It’s a pretty strong statement but you

just might find that the more you

practice silence and stillness the

more you will be drawn to it.

.

.

I don’t know about you, but in spite

of my best efforts my mind and my

body are anything but still most of

the time. My mind especially, is

almost always racing.

.

.

At the same time, as Merton says

stillness, silence, poverty, and the

virginal point of nothingness already

exist in some mysterious way. On some

level we know it and stillness helps to

get all of the unknowing out of the

way, so that we can truly know as

the Psalmist says in Psalm 46.10.

.

.

If you’re ready to practice stillness

using this Psalm, I invite you to do

it now. If this moves too fast for you,

take some time later on and slow it

down.

.

.

Let’s do a very quick body scan. Scan

your body and remind the various parts

of your body, from your head to your

toes to be still.

.

.

Remind your mind to be still.

.

.

And now let’s use Psalm 46.10 to

practice stillness and being...

.

.

Be still and know that I am God

.

.

Be still and know that I am

.

.

Be still and know

.

.

Be still

.

.

Be

.

.

Throughout the day if your mind

takes over, or you are feeling stressed,

remind your body and your mind to

be still and then just be.

.

.

Peace ~ Rod

Today I want to invite you to let go

Once in a while, something reaches

our awareness and we know intuitively

that we need to let go

Fighting a with something that we need

to let go of is a battle that we can’t win.

It’s not worth negotiating when something

that you need to let go of reaches your

awareness.

The detrimental effects of not letting go

can be anger and depression.

Is it time to let go of something that you

cannot change, or something or someone

that you are trying to control?

When you et go it’s a form of surrender.

Letting go opens you up to the help that

is available. It may be the help of a trusted

friend, or it may be the help of the god of

your understanding.

If there is something that has reached your

awareness that you need to let go of I invite

you to let go now.

Let’s use our breath.

Take a breath in and on the out breath let

go of everything that I have said so far.

Take a breath in and on the out breath let

go of the last 24 hours.

Take a breath in and on the out breath let

go of the last seven days.

Take a breath in and on the out breath let

go of everything that has happened during

your lifetime.

Take a breath in and let go of the history

of the world and the universe

Finally, take a breath in and on the out

breath let go

Peace ~ Rod

Today I want to invite you to THIS...

practicing presence in all you do

Are you stuck in your head?

Do you have a hard time being present?

Do you engage in obsessive thinking

and think that you could somehow

solve your problems and challenges

by thinking about them more, and harder?

Is it hard for you to engage and live out of your heart?

Is compassion for yourself and others difficult?

The poem "The Gate" by Marie Howe

“THIS is what you have been waiting for...”

I invite you to be open to “this“

THIS is practiced when you

practice being aware, open,

and accepting of

what is.
