STILLNESS AND THE TRUE SELF
When you practice Stillness, you slow down time.
Stillness even for about 40 seconds or a minute, helps one understand the True Self which is beyond time and space.
The body lives in time, it cannot understand anything beyond it.
But when you take time to practice stillness, you understand that everything is moving but you are not. At this moment of realization time slows down.
Our thoughts and emotions are energy.
Energy crystallizes to form matter.
Thoughts create emotions, emotions create habits, repetitive habits create a personality, a timeline.
Everything on the outside is a set up for experience only.
But our brain takes on an identity by attaching itself to the things on the outside. This is a false identity. we become who we are not.
If we are not in our center, we become reactionary, our brain is not willing to release us from this identity.
To change this we have to become greater than the identity or the situation that our brain is attaching us to.
Stillness even if for a few seconds, helps us to get to the present moment. We get to be the love that we are.
In Stillness, we are taking a step back from all the mind stories and narratives of our brain.
This helps us to get into the observer status.
Life is that which animates the physical body, life is not the things of human experiences like work, family, health etc.
Life is something that animates the physical body to go through the experiences.
So when you take a moment of stillness, you step away from the body’s activities and you get in oneness with life. The body is in a sleep state and you experience your True Self. This is what is referred to as meditation.
When the body sleeps at night again you withdraw from the body and get into your True Self, so sleep is an unconscious meditation.
The True Self is pure positive energy. It is your powerhouse of wisdom, answers and solutions that make you flow through the human experience with ease and grace. By birth every one of us has access to this powerhouse, which is our Divine guidance system. Connecting and aligning with the True Self even for a few seconds many times during the day helps to access our Divine Guidance.
Aligning with the True Self you learn to be love. Love is the truth of who you are.
Love is a non reactive state. It is a neutral state of being, it is stillness, it is a zero point place. It is neither positive nor negative. You are in the feeling and vibration of the entire Universe. You get into a place of complete trust. There is no more preoccupation with the mind stories.
You release your body from the bondage of the mind’s narratives that cause you to suffer.
The stories keep you constantly reacting, constantly jumping from past to the future and they never allow you to be in the present moment wherein lies your power.
Choosing the practice of stillness, you are no longer reactionary to experiences. You understand neutrality, you understand unconditional love, and so instead of the habit of reacting, you start responding to experiences. Responding is responsibility , it is response ability, you respond to experiences from your wisdom.
This helps you to flow through experiences with ease and grace.
Aligning back with our True Self, everything we do is from unconditional love. It is not about thinking or figuring out our goodness or performing acts of love.
By design we are good, we are unconditional love.
We just need to remember this.
By choosing to take stillness moments, we align back with the truth of who we really are, we allow our goodness to flow, we live as the love that we are.
Blessings!
