Silence....

Silence:

It is when we silence the chattering of our mind that we can truly hear what is in our heart and find the still, clear purity that lies within the soul. Spiritual love carries us into the silence of our original state of being. This silence contains the power to create harmony in all relationships and the sweetness to sustain them.

of course I have to add my interpretive 2 cents...

Phone ringing, dog barking, kids screaming, dinner burning, toilets plugged, TV’s on Radio’s blaring, horn honking, baby crying, door bell buzzing, late for work, car won’t start,….

How on earth can anyone find silence? Life’s too crazy, to busy, to NOISY to even stop and think let alone be silent. The only clear purity seems to be the chaos called life. And to top it all off, the mind is racing with things to do, places to be, past conversations, idea’s, wishes, regrets, don’t forgets, what next, anger, love, lust, hate, frustrations, hardships, should have, could have, oh no I did, maybes, how can I, if only I ____, etc…, …. Again, I say, how can we silence the chattering of the mind and chaos of life?

Steal a moment for yourself that’s how. Sit in your favorite chair, go to your favorite place, wherever you can be with yourself and not be interrupted. For me it’s outside with nature, sitting under a shade tree or near a stream or pond. For you maybe it’s by the ocean, or lake, a walk in the park, a hot shower, or long soaking tub.... No matter where it is, make sure you are comfortable and have some time; time for you. Take five minutes, ten or even an hour if you can. It’s OK to be selfish sometimes. This type of selfishness will bring such harmony; it will empower you beyond imagination.

When you are ready, look around and see the beauty of life; feel the warmth of love within yourself; touch the purity of your heart; hear the harmony of your soul; and taste the sweetness of life. You are armed with the knowledge and power of the Spirit. Your mind quiets, your heart opens, and you are ready for whatever life has to offer.

For me, when I listen to the silence within, I have balance in my life. I'm empowered with the knowledge of my being and filled with pure Spiritual Love. A Peaceful harmony fills my heart and soul allowing for fuller relationships and a less stressful life. The secret is to find time to quiet the mind and listen to the beautiful Spirit, the Light if you will, that lives in us and guides us every day.

May you take time to listen to the silence of your heart.... and may you find the peaceful power of the Loving Spirit guiding you through relationships filling them with a renewed sweetness for life.
