Stillness

Be still, and know that I am God is the phrase that kept coming up to me for several weeks, but I kept ignoring it wishing it to go away. Last Wednesday I finally looked up on-line for this verse; it was in Psalm 46:10. On Thursday, I came across Eckart Tolle's book STILLNESS AMIDST THE WORLD. In his book, Eckart explained the questions that most of us wanted to know but afraid to ask: What is it mean to be still? Why do we need to be still? How to be still?
The word STILL means quiet, silence, calm, tranquil, or devoid of or abstaining from motion. To be still is to be aware of the Presence, to be thoughtless or mindless. When I let go of attachment to myself, I become alive to the present moment. When I no longer need to be special to get some sense of my identity, the freedom comes to me. I do not have to be avid meditator in order to achieve this STILLNESS, all I have to do is allow myself to the state of BEING, not forcing or manipulating but being aware and let it BE. Whether I am in the room, nature, at home, or anywhere else, all I am doing is be Presence regardless of what going on in my surrounding. When I am in the state of Stillness, it is when I am reconnecting to the Source/God or your true-self. You see, the reason we are in the state or situation that we are right now is because of the disconnection to our Source or true-self. When we are in the state of stillness and awareness, it is when we are being inspired, love, creative, and grateful.
Tis the season of giving why not give yourself a gift of STILLNESS.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!
