In the past week, I have had so much coming toward me, from so many directions that I completely bypassed overwhelm and went right to surrender. Several of my coaching clients also have been startled by what seems like chaos.
More than 10 years ago, I wrote a self-study coaching e-course, Steady in the Wind. We may need that course right now! I’m going to dust it off and share more with you next week.
In the meantime I offer you this.
When I am still and present with these vibrant beauties, all is well . . .
Radical Stillness
Breathing deeply,
I allow myself to move toward stillness.
Ah, the irony,
Moving toward stillness.
This awareness of how much
I am programmed to move and do
When my heart and soul call me to slow and still.
In the stillness,
I feel my heart beat.
In the stillness,
My breathing deepens.
In the stillness,
My mind chatter drops away.
In the stillness,
There is no lack, no longing.
In the stillness,
I am One with All that Is.
In the stillness.
In the stillness.
