The Stillness Effect

Did I lock the house? Cappuccino or green tea latte? Should I call my mom now or later? What shall I eat for dinner? Did I feed the cat? Do I look fat? I have a headache. And so your thoughts go on.

Did you know the average person has between 50,000-60,000 thoughts a day?

That’s a heck of a lot of thinking!

Being pushed and pulled by the elements whilst immersed in the constant ebb and flow of life can really take its toll on your mind and body.

Retreating

How does the idea of retreating into yourself everyday sound? Transcending the surface (where you are bobbing around) and sinking deep down into a place of peace, love, stillness and light.

Meet Tom Cronin…..

Sixteen years ago Tom hit a mental wall. Unable to continue in the rat race of the corporate world, Tom fell into chronic depression and what he terms “the darkest of days” as he became housebound by his own limitations.

After many months of becoming more disconnected to the world and his being, Tom decided to find a way to lift his depression and balance the overstimulation that life had thrown to him.  And find he did. The “Science of Stillness” was born.

Focusing on Your Core

Tom came to Malaysia with his business partner Nick, and gave a special presentation on “The Stillness Effect” which we would like to share with you.

The video highlights stimulants in our life that cause our mind and body to fall out of sync, and introduces the effects of stillness on this imbalance.

Give yourself 25 minutes to find out how a little bit of stillness can go a long way for you.

  1. “Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life – think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success, that is way great spiritual giants are produced.”- Swami Vivekananda

  4. How many of us would presume to announce, “Well, I’m sober and I’m happy.  What more can I want, or do?  I’m fine just the way I am.”  Experience has taught us that the price of such smug complacency — or, more politely, self-satisfaction — is an inevitable backslide, punctuated sooner or later by a very rude awakening.  We have to grow, or else we deteriorate.  For us, the status quo can only be for today, never for tomorrow. Change we must;  we can’t stand still.  Am I sometimes tempted to rest on my laurels?”

Good morning from Wisconsin

This was the view out my back door this morning when I went out to feed the kitties. The sun is up and I was there to see it — my higher power must have more things planned for me today! Posted from WordPress for Android

Hmmm…

Trusting God

T.G. Henderson House, in Lake City, Florida

Yes, even more Melody Beattie!

A married couple, friends of mine, decided to make some changes in their living situation. They had always lived in the city, and now they decided they wanted to live in the country, on a lake.

They found a small, lake home. It wasn’t the house of their dreams, but when they sold their city home, they would have money to remodel it. They had saved some money, so they moved into their lake home before selling their city home.

One year passed, and the city home didn’t sell. My friends went through many changes during this time. They had times of patience and impatience. Some days they trusted God; other days they couldn’t figure out why God was mak­ing them wait so long, why God wouldn’t let them move forward with their plan. The doors just wouldn’t swing wide open.

One day, a neighbor came to visit my friends. His home on the lake was my friends’ dream home — everything they wanted, plus more. The first time my friends saw this house, they admired it, wishing they could have a home just like it, but then they forgot about the idea. They didn’t believe it could ever be possible.

The reason the neighbor came to visit my friends was that he and his wife had decided to move. He offered my friends the first option on purchasing his home.

My friends accepted his offer, and signed a purchase agree­ment. Within two months, they sold their city home and their small but adequate lake home. A short time later, they moved into the home of their dreams.

Sometimes, we experience times of frustration in our life. We believe we’re on track, trusting God and ourselves, yet things don’t work out. We have false starts and stops. The door refuses to swing wide open.

We may wonder if God has abandoned us, or doesn’t care. We may not understand where we’re going, or what our direction is.

Then one day we see: the reason we didn’t get what we wanted was because God had something much better planned for us.

Today, I will practice patience. I will ask, and trust, my Higher Power to send me His best.” via June 26: Trusting God.
