When you are quiet... You can listen. Imagine that?

Life is busy.  We can't find the time to keep up with the ones we love, working out.... grocery shopping.  There just doesn't seem to be enough time in a day to do everything we want to do.  Yet, we are constantly feeling empty in certain ways.  We seem to feel like hamsters on a wheel to no where.  We sometimes feel like we are running 100 miles an hour in the wrong direction.

When was the last time you were still?  No TV.  No Phone.  No radio.  No books, No magazines. 

You cannot be authentic and fulfilled unless you are quiet and listen to your body and what it's trying to tell you.

Whether it be work, relationships, friends, location, or even a status check to see if you are moving in the right direction in your life.  When you are still, and listen, your soul will tell you where to go.  What to do.  and what it is that you are needing.

Listening to this, and following is a whole other story.....

Are you strong enough to be still and listen?

In yoga, my instructors always say that restoration is just as important as the poses and flows.  You have to let your body restore instead of always taking from it, moving it, building it.  Active restoration is the key to all the answers you are looking for.

Next time you feel the need to fill the space with words.... don't.
Next time you have a few minutes, run a bath and don't turn on the music.
Next time you have a free morning, make your coffee and sit in the still quiet of the morning.



Why do you think the most successful well known people in the world meditate everyday?? 



It centers their mind, body and spirit.  Try it some time.... after a little getting used to, I promise you'll be pleasantly surprised.

I can remember in my early twenties (shout out to those of you in them, because the SUCK) and I had such a hard time being alone.  I had to constantly be surrounded by people, doing something, going somewhere...  I remember forcing myself to learn how to be alone.  Be quiet.... be still.  It is one of the very few certainties in life.  It is the answer.

Silently~  Hoss
