You have heard it said that, “Silence is golden” and that is so true. Not speaking, just meditating on the sweet, simple good of life.
Do you remember when you were a child and could wander alone among the bushes, flowers and trees?
You would sit on the green grass and listen to the singing birds or take notice of the white fluffy clouds and the blue sky above a meadow sprinkled with daisies. Moments spent like this were never lost, these same pleasures can relax your mind, ease stress and give you a sense of well being even now.
So spend more time in nature. Plant flowers, play with your dog or cat or simply sit and feel the warm sunshine and the gentle wind on your face. Create a meditation place to calm your spirit and practice breathing deeply, while soothing every nerve in your body. Listen to special relaxing music with no words, take a walk by the shore, or read passages from a gentle book of inspirational thoughts.
You can invest 30 minutes of your day to learn to simplify your life, to enjoy solitude and be alone with your own thoughts. Who knows what wonderful ideas will transpire in silence? Take a lesson from a tiny plant. When it is nourished with rich earth, bathed in sunshine and rain, a new life begins to flourish and grow gloriously beautiful. You need a time of renewal and replenishment, an inner awareness of someone taking care of you and loving you unconditionally. For God “is” love.
How important it is, dear readers, to nurture yourself in this way and to spend some sacred moments in silence.
“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in Him. He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the steam. It does not fear when the heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit” (Jeremiah.)
