Choose To Be Still and You'll Remember, Rediscover and Reclaim Your "True Power"Are you "truly seeking" and serious about finding answers to the seemingly unanswerable questions you have about life and yourself? Answers that make life much easier to understand and far more simple than most are aware? Answers that you may currently "perceive" as being non-existent? And if so...Are you really and truly serious about finding them? Be Still.
Does your world seem random, chaotic, scary, stressful? Be Still. Is all your busyness, doingness and consistently overloaded schedule taking it's toll on your physical, mental and emotional health?
And it's SO very simple... Simply choose to "Be Still." There's no disputing the fact that we live in a fast paced, highly stressful and “seemingly" chaotic world. Rapidly evolving technologies, careers to attend to, family’s to raise, deadlines to meet, children's baseball, football and soccer games, dentist appointments, not to mention daily commutes on jam packed super highways. There's simply no "time" to "be still" is the all too common answer. On a global scale we're consistently dealing with political issues, wars raging, rumors of additional wars, terrorism, major corporations collapsing, Wall Street plunges, threats of nuclear missiles invading our homelands, corruption, pollution, starvation, devastating hurricanes, tsunamis, divorce, out of control fuel and health care costs, job loses... Where does it all end? When does it stop? What is the answer? Is there one? Does an answer even exist? Yes it does. Yet it's not and never will be found where most choose to look for it. It's not found by worrying, fretting, doing more, competing, becoming busier, chasing solutions, changing careers, working longer and harder, seeking financial security or "picking up the pace." It's found in the stillness...in the silence...in the NOT doing.
"HUH??? Do what!!! There’s barely, if any time at all to do what needs to be done!! There's very little if ANY time left to spend with my family, engage in my passions or participate in the extracurricular activities that I love so much to do. Be still?!?!? Are you kidding me???? You really have GOT to be kidding me!!" That’s how most people think. That's WHAT most people think. That's how most choose to look at and "perceive" things. That's also WHY most people do as they do and receive what they receive which is in 99.9% of all cases 99.9% of the time, FAR LESS than what is truly desired. And it’s that very way of thinking, looking at, seeing, "perceiving" and DOING things that keeps everything so "seemingly" fast paced, stressful, random, chaotic and "undesirably" intense. It's a way of being and DOING things that can never provide the "desired result." It's this chosen way of "being" that only serves to intensify the less than desirable experiences we encounter in life which only serve to block or impede "the flow", leading to more of the same kind of less than desirable results that so many experience yet claim they have a desire to change. But real, lasting, significant, positive and meaningful change happens by choosing...if just for a few moments...to "Become Still."
It's also this chosen way of being and thinking that draws more to intensify the pace, attracts and creates more to be stressed, anxious and depressed about, making life "appear" as even more chaotic and all the more intense. It's precisely that way of "looking at, seeing and perceiving things" that draws more of the same...that escalates and intensifies our fears, doubts and worries about our here and now's as well as our futures. It's that way of looking at and doing things that has so many taking unnecessarily prescribed synthetically manufactured pharmaceutical drugs such as anti-depressants and anxiety reduction "quick fixes." It's precisely what keeps the undone from being done. Get out of your head and into your heart. That's where your "True Power" lies. Choose to become still. A choice to take the time to be still clears the fog...it shifts the perception...it changes the attraction and as a result the physical manifestation of what everyone is so anxious, fearful and stressed out about. You begin to see...truly see what is available to and for you. Get This!!! REALLY get this...choose to take action and your world will transform...literally!! Granted, taking time to “Be Still” may "seem" counter productive based on what you “know“ and believe to be true with regard to time and/or the "lack of." We’ve got so much to do...We’re already so far behind in what needs to be done. We just don't have "time" as it is. There just simply isn’t enough time in the day for this “being still“ nonsense. Do you truly want to have more time? Be Still. Make the choice to become still and enter into the silence. There's power there..."Real and Infinite Power" that transcends the physical and finite power that so many "perceive" to be where their power is found. But it's not. Real Power is found in the silence yet it takes a conscious and intentional choice to enter into and experience a form of Real Power that is ALWAYS without exception found there. The chaos diminishes. The fast pace slows down. More is accomplished. Fear, doubt, anxiety and worry melts away. Your world aligns. You align and harmonize with the achievement of your desires. You’re able to accomplish and achieve much more in far less time. You draw insight, direction, profound wisdom, an indescribable sense of assurance and "knowing" that seems to contradict and go against traditional mainstream logic.
You enter into the "place" from where all this physical stuff comes from that enables you to become far more productive in your quest to achieve, accomplish and create more of this stuff that so many are chasing and "trying" so hard to acquire...in far greater quantity and in far less "time" than you previously "perceived" as being possible. You develop a profound and indescriable depth of understanding...a sense of knowing that can't be described and once again tap into and experience the incredibly rejuvenating assurance of where your "true power" exists, has always existed and is derived from. You become Whole...complete. You personally experience a sense of assurance, knowing and completion. You begin to "Awaken" from the eyes wide open sleeping slumber that most are unknowingly choosing to remain limited by. Your eyes, heart and mind open, enabling you to see and get back in touch with where your "True Power" lies and comes from. You awaken. You reconnect and once again recognize the power that you already hold to be, do and have whatever you might choose individually to be, do and have. I'm well aware of how "busy" the world is. I'm well versed in how most think and perceive that things must be done. But make no mistake... There’s profound power in the silence. Far more power than most understand and are willing to take the time to enter into, explore and experience for themselves. That’s why to the vast majority, everything remains so fast paced and most times is perceived as being so chaotic...so "seemingly random"...so stressful...so "out of control." That's precisely why so many "unconsciously choose" fear over love, anxiety over calmness, depression over joy, chaos over well being and serenity. The answer...the "Real Answer" isn't what so many perceive it to be. It's not the answer that most choose which is precisely why the vast majority "perceive" things to be as they are. It's simply a matter of choosing something different..."consciously choosing." It's only a matter of choosing to become still and entering into the silence where all the answers do and have always existed.
You’ll know what it means to settle into and begin to reconnect with the "Unity and Oneness” that is the all too often forgotten and overlooked essence of who and what we truly are...what YOU truly are. You find yourself. You reconnect with the Wholeness rather than choosing to remain lost in the illusion of "perceived" separation which is the very thing that is creating the seemingly chaotic and unsettling illusion that most “perceive” themselves and the world around them as being helplessly and hopelessly trapped within. You break the chaotic and seemingly random cycle. When you take the time to just “Be Still” the world stills for you if only for a short time. But that's all that's required. That's where you'll find your peace, serenity, assurance and "knowing." Meditation enables and empowers you to enter into the silence...to become still. That’s where your “true power” lies. In the stillness...in the indescribably profound and rejuvenating space of the silence that defies description. That’s where the answers that you are chasing around and looking so frantically for in the external world “truly” can be and are found. In the stillness...in the silence. It requires a choice to experience it for yourself. It requires YOUR choice. When you choose to do so, you get back in touch with who and what you truly are...you know. You reclaim and regain your power. You re-energize your batteries. You get back in the harmonious flow of life rather than continually attempting to swim hopelessly and helplessly against the current. Things that you once "perceived" as being hard and requiring excessive struggle become easier. You begin to recognize in a very personal, profound and powerful way how simple, perfect and profound life and all that it entails is. Doors open, opportunities flow to you, ideas surface, you draw people, events, conditions and circumstances to you that are in perfect alignment and harmony with fulfilling your most cherished, sought after and heartfelt desires.
You begin to understand that all this chasing, all this fast paced and at times frantic “catching up”, all this going against the flow, futilely swimming against the current is far more counter productive to accomplishing whatever it might be that you currently feel should have been and needed to be done "yesterday." I know the "perceptions" most hold. I know how the vast majority choose to look at and see things. I also know that the answers exist where most choose not to look. And the reason I "know" is because I found myself there at one point. I "know" because I consult with many who have experienced the very same as I and so many others have. Look within and you'll discover and personally experience what you have been seeking and overlooked on the outside for so long. I know because that's where I used to look. I once held those same perceptions myself. I've walked down both paths. I know what it's like. I've taken the long path and I've taken the short path. Becoming still...going within is without question the short path to wherever it might be that YOU have a desire to go. Make the choice to become still, discover the rejuvenating and revitalizing power that exists within The Silence and your perceptions about your life and your surroundings shift. You'll know in a very personal and profound kind of way what it feels like to regain and reclaim your power. It's not magic but it can and perhaps will seem like it. It's not without action but it's a much different form of action than most "perceive" to be necessary and as a result never choose to engage in. It's not without cost but the benefits realized far outweigh the small and insignificant price paid. Choose to Be Still. Commit daily to entering into the silence...you’ll see. No...you'll "really" see and in a way you never have before. That's a promise. Make the choice and take time to be still. Try it…just try it...you'll see for yourself just how true, real and powerful doing so can be.
