Stillness
This is a gift meant to be unwrapped with loving intention, a long and conscious pause in between each sentence, and an even longer one in between paragraphs. Savor this moment, it is, after all just for you...
Now take a moment to dim your lights. Dim your screen. Quiet your space. Get warm and comfy. Perhaps you want to light a candle or burn some sage, palo santo, or copal to create your sacred space.
Creating a sacred space should be a ritual in your practice; it’s an act of self-love and it’s homage to the journey you wish to undertake while serving to help your mind make the transition from the everyday world to calm and quiet.
This is your time to just be. You deserve this. So you’ll need to lay down all your mental To Do’s, your worries, and your fears. You can have them all back when we’re done if you wish. But you won’t need them where we’re going.
It’s perfectly normal for your mind to wander and things to pop onto the screen of your consciousness when meditating, and when a thought pops up, just let it arise and subside gently without judgment or attachment.
As you practice detachment from your thoughts, eventually, and with enough practice, they will pop up less and less often and stay gone for longer. So just let them flow in and out of the screen of your consciousness with detachment.
Use this same practice of detachment for any noises that may happen in the world around you. Just let them arise and subside without attaching yourself. No resistance, no anger, no judgment, no desire for changing them, no pushing or pulling them…just flowing in and out like your breath, detached from you and from meaning.
Begin with intention
Think of an intention you’d like to hold as you sit in the stillness of Spirit’s primordial ethers, a space that births all that is. Where all of creation is created, and set an intention for what you’d like to tune into. Imagine the cosmic energy flowing all around you, an energy that knows and understands everything, and asks it to give you what you most need now.
Say your intention out loud as words give thoughts more…
