Breathing is the silent music of the source of life. If we watch our breath as we watch ocean waves roll in and back out, or if we listen to the silence of our breathing like the pause between notes in a symphony, we are drawn into its flow. The mind is always anxious and ready to dash off into complexity and drama. When we train it to slow down, it receives a wonderful surprise!
The peace and rejuvenation we feel as we approach stillness is immediate and refreshing. As the mind experiences this more and more, it complains and resists less and less. Eventually, we happily embrace the gifts of stillness! |
