SPIRITUAL EXPLORATIONS -- 9

WE ARE EXPLORING THE PRACTICE OF STILLNESS

Know your mind as the sky;

Allow everything to pass on through,

The clouds, the lightning, the winds,

All of it, even the blue itself.

Don’t even get caught on the blue.

See and hear whatever arises,

But don’t grasp at anything.

Don’t even get caught on the sky.

We will explore the spiritual practice of detachment after we have worked on stillness a little longer.  I believe detachment comes naturally as we move deeper and deeper into stillness.

What works for you?  What doesn’t work for you?  Can you share your experiences with us?  If so, I will be looking for your contribution on Facebook or you can send  an email to john@abundancetrek.com.  Write “Stillness” in the Subject line so that I can find it even if it’s in my spam box.

+ Spirituality & Practice offers many ideas and resources on the practice of stillness.
