As it’s snowing at present here and in much of Europe, people may find their activities restricted. Apart from those perhaps stuck somewhere and having difficulty, and we should keep them in our thoughts during this freeze-up, for thoseĀ of us perhaps stuck in-doors we might feel frustrated by the limitation, and then we could reflect on what it might have to teach us.
Enforced idleness, lets say, in a society accustomed to feeling driven and busy, can be a strange one. We might look round for “something to do”. Our minds could “go off on one”. And then we could just be still.
And listen to the quiet.
The snow might have dulled sound. It might seem still.
So, you could be present with the stillness, aware of it, being the observer of it. Just being still.
Just now I found this statement by Eckhart Tolle: “The human condition: lost in thought“.
We get so caught up in thinking and go off all over the place. Absorbed in ego. So here’s a good time to be still, and let the mind just quieten down and be still. They say, a watched mind becomes still. So, watch it.
As you become aware of the stillness, go into it. Be right there in it. Feel it. Let it touch your heart. Breathe it in to your heart centre. And be very aware and present.
It’s very simple really. We just get lost in thought.
Enjoy!
