Today’s Rituals for Transformation message is to make time for stillness. Still my mind. Still my thoughts. Gently pull myself back to stillness when I find myself going down rabbit holes. I identify with stillness more than meditation, even though meditation is essentially stillness. Maybe I just need to find a different word for this meditation thing. Taking 5-10 minutes throughout the day to “just be” sounds like something I can do. And it also sounds like meditation. Perhaps it’s the end result that is different. But I’ve yet to discover the end result of either. All I know is I am making space for calm and peace in place of anxiety and negative thinking. Call it what you want, my stomach feels less “knotty” and I think I just relaxed my jaw for the first time in months. Onward, Stillness.
Until tomorrow.
With joy,
K
