Stillness

A short stillness meditation

Today I want to invite you to be still

Thomas Merton says,

“So perhaps I have an obligation

to preserve the stillness,

the silence, the poverty,

the virginal point of pure nothingness

which is at the Center

of all other loves.”

It’s a pretty strong statement but you

just might find that the more you

practice silence and stillness the

more you will be drawn to it.

I don’t know about you but in spite

of my best efforts my mind and my

body are anything but still most of

the time. My mind especially is

almost always racing.

At the same time, as Merton says

stillness, silence, poverty, and the

virginal point of nothingness already

exist in some mysterious way. On some

level we know it and stillness helps to

get all of the unknowing out of the

way, so that we can truly know as

the Psalmist says in Psalm 46.10.

If you’re ready to practice stillness

using this Psalm, I invite you to do

it now. If this moves too fast for you,

take some time later on and slow it

down.

Let’s do a very quick body scan. Scan

your body and remind the various parts

of your body, from your head to your

toes to be still.

Remind your mind to be still.

And now let’s use Psalm 46.10 to

practice stillness and being...

Be still and know that I am God

Be still and know that I am

Be still and know

Be still

Throughout the day

if your mind takes over,

or you are feeling stressed,

remind your body and your mind

to be still

and then just be.
