When you lose touch with your inner stillness, you lose touch with yourself. When you lose touch with yourself, you lose yourself in the world.
Your innermost sense of self, of who you are, is inseparable from stillness. This is the I Am that is deeper than name and form.
Stillness is your essential nature. What is stillness? The inner space or awareness in which the words on this page are being perceived and become thoughts. Without that awareness, there would be no perception, no thoughts, no world.
You are that awareness, disguised as a person (abstract from stillness speaks by E tolle)
I have put a minimum of 15 minutes a day for the participating members to sit in silence just contemplate (bring your attention to) on a flower or your breath. Another way to do it is to just observe what is around you without indentifying an object (as a door knob or a scissors.... just observe ) without name or thought.
This is a sort of meditation but here we are not using music or mantra. Pure awareness of consciousness.
What I have found out in the brief moments of silence...stilllness speaks ....I get inspiring ideas...or pure joy that make me want to float....or sometimes just peace.....just beautiful peace.
If you have any question please don't hesitate to mail me post a comment.

| so2u | Happy Birthday Doll Since you can't sit your bottom down (SYBD) with us, I want to know how the getting rid of stuff is going? I admire anyone who can choose to live more simply, share what they no longer need and create more space to (SYBD).
Joy2u on your birthday,
so2u |
| Doll | Not on my bottom??? Well you've got me there.
I have been doing better though. Each morning I take my tea out on the deck and enjoy the sounds...birds, traffic, whatever is there!
I am very fortunate to have a home with a nice deck where I can just sit.
You guys are awesome! |
| You bet :) o.kkkkkk.....let do it...I have bought myself some crazy glue :).....it says on the bottle it works everytime....well I think I have found a way to sit my bottom down...yeee hah...but I think what I really need is a chilling helmet ...with liquid nitrogen :)....ahi my mind is too active....I am working on it though everyminute...coco like so2u says I like the tea idea too :)
Our other challengers. must be ....totally chilled out :) way to go people lol

| Coco | YAY PJ LETS DO THIS ONCE MORE, AMEN TO SO2U REQUEST HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DOLL WHO IS ALSO NOT SITTING HER BOTTOM DOWN LATELY
HAVENG A GREAT DAY, HOPE YOU GUYS ARE?
PEACE AND LOVE COCO X |
| so2u | Let's ask PJ to continue There has been much success with PJ's challenge to find our inner stillness and inspiration. Think we should ask her to continue when our 30 days are up??? It would help me and I think we would be able to encourage others who might join in from our experiences on an inner journey that supports our outer Tool's...What say PJ?? |
| so2u | Coco You are amazing-!! Your comittment, consistancy and contributions are of help and support for me. How you are choosing to bring your stillness and focus into your breaks at work is a very important part of what our Challenge is about. And I told you how I have taken to your tea suggestion.
|
| Coco | This really works I have found this challenge to be the best. When i am tempted, I tell myself to sit still for a minute. And the temptation just goes away. I have decided to give up on coffee, sugar etc etc, and stillness helps me to do it.
I am so grateful for this challenge
Hope all of you are doing well, I AM |
| Coco | 10 min each day works for me grand! have a great day! |
| St_Nick | 10 |
| Coco | Sipping herbal tea After the bath experiment now I am doing sipping herbal tea. What I have tried to do while I am on my tea break just to focus on drinking my tea. Just savour it. No other thought. Be present in that moment. I am having nice tea breaks. Thanks for missing me. I am not very good at logging in. But I am doing all the challenges.
Party is over.

| so2u | Now we Look at what you are doing...it's amazing the progress. PJ and Wordbird you both SYBD for 15 minutes -!! St_Nick is coming in strong...Whats up with Coco where are you? |
| so2u | Peace to YOUR world PJ... I want you to know that I really KNOW how hard you are working at Sitting Still. The best thing to do is just sit in a place where you have no distractions or paper and pencils, nothing but you, disconnected from all your outer distractions ... because you are preparing yourself for your inner enemy #1. This inner enemy has been waiting for you to get still so it can invade your mind with all kinds of inner discursive thoughts, things to do and on and on and on...each time you (and our group) choose to sit still helps pave the path to our inner Stillness. I'm so proud of you for doing it, for gathering us all together in our contribution to peace in ourselves and peace in our world. Peace to YOUR world PJ.... |
