Use Stillness




























Imagine a hummingbird as a statue on a branch, its flurry of activity at rest. Identify each color and feather in detail.

The frenzy for many appears endless. How would it feel to quiet your day?

Take time to sit and breathe in five breaths, then out five. Continue until you can extend your exhalation to ten.

During this time of silence when you slow the breath, feel stillness. Sounds may arise but they represent energy when you feel in a focused state.

Notice the the space around you opens. Nothing will overwhelm when you pay attention to the rhythm of the breath. Give this feeling of rest a name as you search for balance.

Use the name and revisit its calming effect from time to time each day.

Choose a name for your tranquility and sense of peacefulness. Dialogue with this new friend.
