I have plenty.  As I clean and pack away the holiday decorations I pause to look around my home and discover that I have plenty.  I am on this huge quest for spirituality.  There's a longing in me to connect with a source that is inside and outside of me.  I've been on this quest for many years now and I've accumulated many, many, great books, articles and interesting facts that YES, have all been helpful.  As I look around, I see that....well, I think I have all that I need to study, read, and reflect.  All this information that I have been gathering for so long all leads to one answer to my spirituality search..... Look With-in.  All you need you already have, it's about connecting with that divine source that lives with-in all of us.

How do we do this?  In Silence and Meditation.  I know... "I can't sit still".... "I can't quiet my mind".... "I have aces and pains".... " I can't cross my legs"  ........." I can't"..............


Yes, you CAN... it's about becoming the master of your mind.  In the Movie, "Eat, Pray, Love".... when she starts out to learn to meditate and quite the mind, you see her struggle...this struggle is normal, so don't expect, just do.  Don't give up, just be.... in time, you will get it.  Start out small, and you will see.  Give yourself this time everyday for 21 days and make it a habit.  When yo can sit for thirty minutes or longer and not notice any thoughts, movements, itching, then you will have become the Mater of Your Mind.  You will be in-charge and your thoughts will not.  Put your focus on your breath, breathe in and out.....slowly... and just be in the moment.  It will get easier!  Sit in any position that feels right and just be.  Don't let your Mind control you by giving you excuses, let your spirit be your guide.  The more you come to this quite silence in the mind, the more you will connect with spirituality.   This is the first step.

I wish you a quite place to just be ~ Deb
