Quiet Your Mind

There is so much going on within you and around you Earthlings... Can you feel how fast everything seems to move? The speed of life. Demands from others. Demands you put on yourself. The amount of chores, activities, work (paid, volunteer, spiritual, and so on).

Sometimes it feels like you are carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders.

And at other times you are so filled with joy, love and bliss that you feel weightless.

Yes, there is a lot of heaviness around. But there are also great high vibration energies floating around.

Take the time to do absolutely nothing Earthlings.To simply be here, on this Earth. Simply BE. Staring off into space. Sitting under a tree. Sitting or laying down. Simply be in this space that you are. Alone or with others around. If you find yourself dozing off to sleep, let it. You need it. In fact a lot of you have had trouble falling or staying asleep. Going into a state of "nothingness" should help you get the rest you so greatly need.

Even though it feels like nothing is going on (or being accomplished) as you are just, well, in a state of being, there is a lot of activity below the surface of your body and your mind. Processing, integrating all the new information you are receiving. Rebelling against those who are activating time. Bringing some kind of balance to yourself and the world.

By just being there. A Human Being.... being itself. No thoughts. No worries. No words. No expectations. Just witnessing the blackness of your mind if your eyes are closed or gazing at the clouds move in the sky. The branches blowing in the wind. At your favorite plant, painting or artwork. At the flame of the candle dancing. Seeing, yet not engaging. Being immersed in everything, that thing, yet detached.

You do have a choice Earthlings. You always do. Yes, you have responsibilities, obligations. However, there exist more than one way to do what you must. Quieting your mind help you remove the blinders that were somehow put around your head, blocking the full view of your world. New ideas and solutions will pop up when you give your body and your mind a chance to rest. Recuperate. Remember.

Just be in your body, eyes closed (or opened). Feel the energy vibrating around you, within you. Depending on your ability to be present, aware, it may take a while before you sense it. If you feel nothing at all, that is OK. Avoid forcing anything and judging yourself. Let it be what it is. This is simply a moment for you to quiet your mind and stop the rush. Taking that moment is what is important, not what you feel while being in it.

By being, you can sense so much of what is invisible to the naked eye. Taking the time to be allows the knowingness to settle in. The ego to take its rightful place in the far background. You do need it, the ego Earthlings. It serves a purpose. It provides you with valuable insights, lessons. The key is to use it to serve you, and not the other way around. It is a great lesson provider when you pay attention. I mean, if you are in a situation where you find yourself catching a golf ball and are about to throw a basket ball back at the person, while it is still in your hands, you can ask yourself "Hmmm, why is this comment/energy from this individual making me react this way? What is the right thing for me to do?" If you see the lesson, big or small, then you can decide to drop the ball, and thank the ego for bringing the issue to your attention. Or you can hurl the basket ball at the other person as hard as you can, making your ego the boss of you.

Your ego is meant to play a low key role in your life. If your life was a movie, your ego would be an extra. Giving a few lines here and there. One of the last names appearing in the credits at the end of the show. Problems arise in your life Earthlings when you let the ego extra play the leading role in your movie. Sure, the ego always wants to be a star, but that is not its purpose. Remember that - the ego wants to be a star, wants all the attention. Craves it. Revels in it. However, it just loves Drama too much to be a good leading lady/man. It will create chaos out of nothingness because that how it likes it. When you are deep in drama you have no time for things like hobbies, nurturing, growth, development, building... All those things that bring you great joy but take time and patience to accomplish. One silly issue can occupy your ego for days, weeks, even lifetimes. The ego then becomes the villain that ruins the movie... because you LET it.

Remember that a quiet life can very lively, full of passions, dreams fulfilled, joy and love. Revisit your need for drama and your definition of excitement.

Engaging the Ego too much just puts your life in a loop. And sometimes other people's ego just want to play with yours. Other people's egos are in the mood to set everything on fire. It is up to you to take the box of matches out of their grip and put it out of their reach. Just be mindful. Retreat. Let the other's ego have its field day - acknowledge the other without engaging. You can block all that is being thrown at you. Smile. Be kind. Compassionate. The other person will soon be exhausted, drained. By the energy the act requires and because it's quite tiring playing tennis by yourself.

Activities like yoga, meditation, any type of exercise, qigong, tai chi... are great for the body, the mind and the soul. But you Earthlings live in a "go, go, go", "do, do, do" world, where the art of doing nothing, or, more aptly called, the art of being is a forgotten one... One that is vital to remember.

Quieting your mind and simply being helps you clear clutter without doing anything. If these words fail to make sense to you, they will once you experience the beneficial effects of simply being.

Just get comfortable - eyes closed or opened - your choice. Breathe purposefully and intently and watch the world go by.

This is all.

Much Light, Love and Rest to Everyone
