BYO Brilliance: The Brilliances of Stillness

According to Laozi "Stillness reveals the secrets of eternity"

In this hecktic fact paced world of chaotic confusion, many of us find it hard to focus or think clearly. If most of us were honest with ourselves we'd admit that after the constant bombardment of this chaos we start to tune out and shut down our natural clear thinking.

Here's a wonderful talk by Eckhart Tolle on Embodying Stillness: A Guided Meditation

There is no wrong or right way to slip into stillness and what you do with that moment.

Some ideas to set up to connect with yourself in the stillness:

• set up a table outside or in a room that is rarely used and put some candles or incense on the table. 
• find a comfortable position on the floor, couch, chair, or bed (if you have a nice cushiony grass yard maybe lay on your back under the night or day sky 
• Close your eyes 
• Now take the time to allow the stillness to surround you and breathe it deeply within and slowly without
• Take several long deep breaths exhaling slowly and allow your mind  to clear.

You can connect with your stillness any time of day or night and it can be any length of time. Whatever thoughts come let them come and let them slip away. What matters most will remain after you open your eyes.  Connect with your stillness and connect with you!
