Quote of the day: “A calm mind brings inner strength and self-confidence, so that’s very important for good health”
Good morning,
I like this quote from the Dalai Lama, as I have often thought about the strength that comes through the practice of meditation. When we are calm and centered we are able to be less reactive and see the challenge ahead as just that, a challenge in which we are able to move forward in – to see it for what it is and know the appropriate action steps to take. Life will continue to give you opportunities to build your strength and also opportunities to test your merit. It’s not about what happens to a person but rather the response that given.
I have to be honest and say that as I’ve begun to move on from an old life, that being beliefs, work, relationships, etc. I have been given one opportunity after another to see how strong I really am. I thought I would be able to handle it and be brave… however my response to various aspects has not been on par with what I thought. It’s been a real growth opportunity and I am seeking whole new ways of Being and doing. I think about my practice of meditation and am happy that if I do anything during a day, it’s this very practice… It’s to find ten minutes at the beginning of my day to be quiet and still the mind. I have found that this is building strength in me and also allows me to see the direction I need to go for my life at any given time.
There is an element of respect that is important to consider. The process of building a life upon resiliency and fortitude takes respect for the process that we are going through. I have often related this to going to the gym, it takes time and practice built over a long period of weeks and months to build up your strength. Take the time and have the patience as this is a sacred process for the Soul. Have a respect for yourself and be kind to your emotions as many of us have strong deep rooted beliefs and challanges that need to be slowly and diligently removed and replaced with new concepts, it takes time and a life time of practice to get our lives to where they need to be.
The time is now, the time is right now. Take five minutes today to sit quietly and if not that, then take five minutes to place your tongue on the roof of your mouth and take a full deep belly breath and center your mind and emotions. It’s the first best step to the most important practice you will ever do in your life. You’re worth it and if you are to handle your life and all the challenges that it encompasses than this element is the most important to work on today.
Love & Light
Namaste
