The perception of time gives us the feeling that we are moving from one point to another. That there is a direction to our process, and that we are transforming towards a certain idea or goal. There is also the possibility of not having an outcome, of letting go of expectations, what should happen or how things should be.

'Cultivating stillness' is misleading as a term, because it implies an effort or conditions to recognize stillness, when truly stillness is the underlying nature of the mind.

Stillness is who we are if we do not identify with the efforting and struggling of our minds, and if we can train our mind to settle into the deeper levels within.

Contact me for a Free Discovery Session. Change and Transformation will not happen without the heart being involved. Without the heart there is no guidance, no real contact and knowing where we are at.

The heart is at the center of the inner search and eventually all path lead to a greater openness of the heart. Qualities of compassion, kindness, curiousity, courage and love are intrinsic capacities of the heart.

Knowing is an interesting topic. In our usual everyday life, knowing means the accumulation of knowledge, experience, and remembering what we know. Knowing is usually conceptual. There is a separation between the knower and the known.

"Mindfulness means moment-to-moment, non-judgmental awareness. It is cultivated by refining our capacity to pay attention, intentionally, in the present moment, and then sustaining that attention over time as best we can."

This is a post about a process by Richard Bolstad.

"When (other) thoughts arise, one should not pursue them, but should inquire: ‘To whom do they arise?’... Thereupon if one inquires ‘Who am I?’, the mind will go back to its source; and the thought that arose will become quiescent. With repeated practice in this manner, the mind will develop the skill to stay in its source."
