"Each day we are faced with challenges, and each time we have an opportunity to bring compassion and wisdom to the forefront rather than responding from monkey mind. It is like a true kind of human transmutation to find a deeper and kinder response, to be able to pause and give our heart instead of our habits to another." Daily Zen.
A moment of stillness is a simple magic charm that can transform your life.
All you have to do is learn how to be still, breathe slow and deep and easy and shift your attention to the background of your mind.
The background is the empty blue sky. The foreground is a whirlpool of thoughts and emotions, like clouds blown by the storm-winds.
You are upset or angry or sad - pause for a moment.
Focus on your breath....let it slow down, become lighter.
Shift your attention to the background.
Be the Blue Sky...do not attempt to react to the clouds of thoughts and feelings in any way, just observe them without judgement or reaction or identification, like watching a movie without being sucked in emotionally.
As you learn to be a detached witness of your own inner feelings and thoughts, you will find that miraculous changes will occur, effortlessly.
Problems may dissolve altogether or mutate into solutions or just become insignificant.
Patience and strength and courage will automatically flow in from the Universe to re-charge your batteries.
Try it. Practice it. And see how the magic unfolds.
Moments of stillness, consciously and deliberately chosen, will bring about the metamorphosis of enlightenment that is your true nature and your birth-right.
Once you learn how to be the Blue Sky, you inherit the freedom of infinity and eternity.
Right here and right now.
