The Gift of Stillness

Discerning Movement Inside the Stillness
====================================

I’ve been reminded of late that there is no use pushing the river or for that matter, standing back and watching life. For me, I am getting my sea legs around the dynamic of flow. This flow is what defines the river of consciousness that guides me into the stillness.
.
Sometimes our own personal viewpoints are like oars that get put into the waters of life. We take action at just the right time to cause a shift (a shift in perspective, circumstance or life choice) and sometimes our actions cause us to step back and away from what might otherwise be a good thing.
.
The question that I have been asking lately is “How do you know when the mind (one’s viewpoint) is what’s steering the boat?”
.
There are as many opinions on this as there are potential answers but the bottom line is feeling. We know when we are allowing the mind to steer us off course because we can feel it. This feeling is different for each of us. There are many paths that will lead you to this same knowing, this same feeling, but it is the stillness of the mind that will determine your direction.
.
“We are living in a time of radical change.” I have been hearing these words in my head for as long as I can remember. But hearing and experiencing are two very different realities. Just recently, I viscerally connected with the knowing that everything the Guides have tele-empathically communicated to me over the years is true - absolutely true.
