The need to stop and be still for a moment in this hurried, hectic, noisy world is paramount to overall feelings of well being and wholeness. There are many ways this can be accomplished, stop right now and take a deep cleansing breath. Go ahead, breath in through the nose deeply and exhale through the mouth or nose, which ever is more relaxing to you. Do it again. Just that simple task of breathing in and slowly out helps eliminate stress and rids of body of unwanted negative feelings. Simple exercises to restore the body to its prime condition. Just a few minutes of quiet meditation and stillness can do wonders for an overstimulated life. The ability to be still is a lost art in our society.
I was reading a book lately where the young child was being taught in the ancient art of marshal arts. Of all the difficult tasks the child was asked to do the one his master informed him was a hardest of all was to clear his mind and be still. Why is that so difficult? We live in a world of constant stimulation, constant entertainment, we have ipods, laptops, high definition televisions in every room, music blaring from grocery stores to clothing stores to the office. We have cars, trucks and taxis racing outside our door, there is never stillness, our minds and bodies aren't used to it. We are used to a world of chaos and noise and sometimes quiet makes people feel uncomfortable. We have to retrain the mind because the soul craves stillness and peace.
There are many ways to find stillness; a walk in a quiet park or mountains, or beach, turning off all electronics and taking time to mediate or ponder, yoga is a great training tool in the mind learning to control the body. Taking time for a massage or spa in New York will do wonders for rejuvenation. You owe it to all those people you take care of to do something wonderful just for you. You can't be all things to all people if you personally are running on empty. Give yourself permission to take time to fill your own cup, in whatever way that is for you.
The world is a busy, noisy place, peace and tranquility are lost qualities; find time to find the stillness in your own heart and mind for better health, more empowerment and to have more ability to serve those you love.
