Stilling

You need only to be still.

-Moses_

Be Still.  The written words here, without context or tone of voice for clues, could evoke a sense of shame and scolding.  Parents often utter these words as a command or plea to their active child.  We at Your Wondrous Mind use these words as an invitation to set aside the busyness of the day for a moment, and to “be still” and further … just to “be“.  In our accomplish mode, our “doing” mode, there is too much noise that covers up the sounds around us, and the clear voice of wisdom from inside and from above.  When we learn to take time to sit in stillness, we open our mind and our senses to notice and learn from the wonder around us.  And we open our ears to hear the wisdom from inside and above.

Sometimes, physical injuries or ailments make being still difficult.  The demands of family or others with whom we share life and space, can interrupt or prevent or intrude on our time set aside for stillness.  Learning a new skill of being still can sometimes even be frightening.  Seek guidance into, or help supporting your devotion to times of stillness.
