Sending Joy

“The stillness speaks in gentle sounds of love …” A Course In Miracles

“I breathe in peace.  I breathe out healing.”

We often get so caught up with the busyness of life and the need to protect ourselves and our beliefs that we forget to allow the spaces in between. It is the space between the conversations, the activities, the plans, the politics, the TV, the computer, the tablet and the cell phone, where our true life is and where our real Self exists.  It is in the quiet moments where silence stills our thoughts and heals our heart’s pain that we belong. 

Whenever you want to enter that peaceful state that lives inside your mind and quietly waits for your awareness, simply become conscious of your breathing. Focus on your in breath and your out breath calmly and with intention. Allow your breath its natural rhythm and just watch it as a quiet observer.  Let a gentle smile form around your heart and on your face, then breathe.  Length of time is not as important as consistency.  Even a moment here and there, or once an hour or just once or twice a day is helpful.

At first we may scoff at our spiritual truth or we may feel bored with stillness and breathing. and believe that what is true is silly or insane. And we don’t hesitate to loudly disclaim what we think we don’t want. But lack of understanding and boredom are simply the ego’s ploy to keep us from our Truth. A way to keep us trapped in fear and sadness. anger, guilt and in righteous judgment. In a place in our mind where we don’t know that we don’t belong. If we could trust in God instead of the world’s insanity, what a great weight would be lifted from us.

Every mindful moment holds more value in it than all the busyness and defensiveness we feel is so important. If we could look at what we fear and be at peace with it, what would there be left to fear?

Two of our greatest challenges are to Listen and to Trust. To listen to our Truth and Trust in the Love of God. We would never know another moment’s pain if we could but be still in our minds and hearts and trust in the Truth that comes to us from listening and trusting. Listening to God and Trusting in God. Let us look at the divisiveness, fear and danger and anger in this world and ask ourselves, “Is this really what I want?” And then ask where is my judgment now? And boredom will disappear into the nothingness from which it came as it is replaced by happiness, joy, peace and love. We will no longer be fascinated by the darkness when once we have seen the LIGHT!

Let our prayer be for healing and health and safety for all the world. Let us ask for help with kindness and love and trust to generate the health and wellness, safety and peace of mind we want for every man, woman and child on earth. And then let us be grateful and say Thank You, God!
