We all struggle to find and keep our enthusiasm and energy at a constant level. Most of us find there are good days and bad. There is one good way to reach and connect to the very core of our being thats is constant. The INNER STILLNESS thats unperturbed by positives and negatives at the surface of our lives experiences.
As Eckhart Tolle says if we compared our lives to a pond. when we throw a stone it forms ripples at the surface of the water. But way down below the water sits still. Our lives are like that on the surface there are job loss, some sad news...like separation, divorce, death , fear etc etc which can throw us off balance. We loose energy and enthusiasm in minutes of hearing bad news or fearing bad news. But there is a part of us(inner giant) that is unperturbed.
When we reach to this INNER GIANT which is a sleep in us most of the time...we release its pure potential ....rush through like a bolt of lightening. To inspire us and others even in our deep dark moments.To unleash the spark that ignite our passion all we need to do is SIT OUR BOTTOM DOWN :)....its that simple yet extemely POWERFUL.We need to do this each day and eventually we will be connected to it all the time. Hence eliminating the possibility of fear and totally immersed in LOVE.
This is what we have been doing in our so called Stillness challenge.
I have personally struggled to Sit my bottom down for more than 3 minutes at a time. This 3 little minutes gives me all the energy and more to carry on. However i am striving each day to add more just imagining how much potential I will able to unleash from the very SOURCE I am connected to.
So here's me inviting you to choose 1 minute to 3 min , 10 mins or 15 whatever you choose and reap all your goals. More we sit still.... more focussed we become and have the energy and enthusiasm to propell us into our goals in life without fail and stay true to our purpose.
To find the continuous stream of that energy let focus on SITTING OUR BOTTOMS DOWN :)
Lets go!
You can lie down too...nodding off not allowed!
Finished: Group total: 2734 minutes (-2404 minutes remaining).

| dr_july | Oops missed the boat here but I couldn't resist letting you all guys know I stepped to the 30 min for the last 3 days and am keeping to it:).
Loved doing every bit of this challenge. |

| autumn mist | PERFECT TIMING AND TUNING ... Great timing and tuning, girls:
Lady Saint: See you soon in perfect alignment (mind, body and spirit). Hey Missy ... next itinerary should be at my end here. Para-para-paradise ... a holidayer's delight! Oodles of seagulls to feed (lots of chips available by the esplanade; oh, and few tamed pelicans would definitely be at bay ... Howzat? Come on down!).
PJ: Haha! By the time Nichole is back, she's gonna have a hell of a time tuning in to your splattered mantra (before or after SYBD?): WOW! ... I feel good!
(Sending you ALL good thoughts, LOVE, sunshine and bubbles) .... POOOF!

| St_Nick | I was in galveston TEXas at the gulf of Mexico. Meditation with natural ocean waves and seaguls was the best.
