Good advice for us all in this week’s channeled message as divisive energy continues to ramp up. Find time for sitting in calmness and do your part to still the rise in violence, as within so without.
Wishing everyone a wonderful, peaceful week!
In times of stress learn to manage the energy within yourself. It may be the only control you have. When something outside of you cannot be changed, change what is going on inside of you. Change your stress levels by breathing into your heart, by calming your mind with your breath, but cooling your temper with your breath, by reminding yourself that eventually things will change. In times of stress find peace and guidance within yourself. You may not realize it, but you have more at your disposal than you think. There is a deeper you ready and willing to come to your aid, to participate in your life, to be what you need. The solution is not to be found in your head but in your heart. Breathe. Just breathe.

Let calm breath enter you and breathe away what is conjured by the mind. Let a new tune enter you and sing a new song. Let new words of compassionate wisdom enter the place where old negative thoughts have dominated. Harmonize with your own rhythm, with the breath going in and going out in its own natural way. Stay tuned to the beat of your own heart and the spirit in you that seeks to find its own voice after so many years of silence. Listen to that voice more carefully and more often, the one that is your own true voice. Let it nurture you and sustain you at last, bringing you into calm reverie for all of your days.

Find your way to inner peace and calm no matter what is going on outside of you. It’s the only way to stay stable and sane. It’s not selfish but necessary in times of turmoil. And yet, do not be so inward turned as to miss the important things in life, especially the call to make changes that are beneficial, to move on when necessary, and to grow beyond where you are now. For even in inward turning, changes are expected if the inner process is to have impact. Otherwise it’s just another cover for not doing what needs to be done, for not facing what must be faced, and that will benefit no one. The charge of life is always to grow and change. It’s what the world is doing all the time, especially in times of turmoil, pushing for change. Let the self be still but never asleep. Let the self be calm but never inert. Let the self be inward turned but stay alert and aware, and never stop growing. For growth is the creative urge in all of life and that’s exactly what’s called for now!

Sit calmly. Breathe. Let your mind be still. Let your body rest. Let your energy flow naturally throughout your body, bringing loving kindness to yourself. Let your brain be silent, your thoughts cease, your worries titrate down to nothing more than a simmering breeze. In this manner temper your suffering, reduce your anxiety, turn down your inner patter, your judgments, your condemnations of self and other. None of these things really exist; they are mere inventions of your mind seeking resolution, but you will not find resolution there. The mind is a dead end street. Instead let your spirit find you once again in the house of your physical body where it has been wandering and waiting. Let it greet you and take you down the streets of calmness, even as you become active again. Let yourself be whole in this way, in companionable silence within the quiet self!
