What does stillness offer you? This morning, during the Wheeeee! tele-fun conference call, we found how welcome stillness was for us. It’s an unusual experience to be on a telephone call in order to find some stillness and silence in our busy lives. But we discovered that it works! Bodies relaxed and voices deepened. We noticed that there was more information but less to say. Our group presence was tangible although virtual.
Stillness offers us presence, emptiness, release from overwhelm, chance to notice the smallest things, to be clearly awake and fully embodied. To pay attention.
Arms extended into our virtual circle’s center, palms up, we allowed our relaxed hands to cup the stillness offering it to ourselves, each other and the world around us.
Every Monday morning, I wonder how I will give you a taste of this nurturing experience. Try this:
- Breathe and sigh.
- Shake yourself all over.
- Breathe and sigh.
- Look at the flame in the picture to the right and say the words “The Miracle is You” out loud. Then close your eyes.
- Hand dance with 98% stillness.
- Pause and notice anything and everything.
- Hand dance with 98% stillness.
- Open your eyes and write and/or draw in your Journal.
- Determine how you will create this expansive space for stillness in your life this week.
