Still Your Mind

Day 96

~~~~~~~
To still your mind, sit down each day,

close your eyes, and just watch your thoughts.

Don't resist the thoughts,

but just watch them come into your mind.

As you watch each thought, it will disappear.

Practice this each day

and you will get better and better.

You will find your mind will be without thoughts

for five seconds, and then ten seconds,

and then twenty seconds.

When you can command your mind to be still

and have it obey your command,

just imagine the power you will have

to create what you want.

"When you lose touch with inner stillness,
you lose touch with yourself.
When you lose touch with yourself,
you lose yourself in the world"

Eckhart Tolle ~ Stillness Speaks
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"When you recognise that there is a voice in your head that pretends to be you and never stops speaking, you are awakening out of your unconscious identification with the stream of thinking. When you notice that voice, you realise you are not the voice, the thinker, but the one who is aware of it. Knowing yourself as the awareness behind the voice is freedom."

Eckhart Tolle
