Do you remember when you were a child and you were always moving around...jumping, running, playing. Your Mother or Father more than once may have said to you, "Sit still!"

 

As adults we too often rather unconsciously race from one thing to another. We fill our agenda books with "to do" items. We complain we don't have enough time. What is it we don't have enough time for? Have you ever sat still long enough to ask yourself that? What would sitting still do for you today?

 

Sitting still may look like nothing is happening, but in fact, something truly important is happening that cannot take place when you are busy racing about doing things. You become more conscious of your life and of the life all around you when you take the time to sit still. You genuinely return to your senses (in both senses) when you sit still. Make the discovery for yourself. No matter for how long, take some time today to just sit still.

 

Insight and imagination are within you.

If you were invited back to a time when you were happier than you could ever imagine, how would that feel?

 

The energy of that moment lives within you as a spiritual, but also as a physical reality. Really. All the joy and satisfaction that you felt in that one exhiliarating moment in your memory is still there, wondering if you will ever touch into it again.

 

Our memories are like photo albums we can open and revisit just by moving our thoughts and our awareness to them. Why not revisit one wonderful moment you have stored in your cellular and soul's memory. Invite and touch into the sensation of joy in this moment and let it be an important part of your day. Celebrate it again, and appreciate the fact that the best that ever was can reappear and  be better than ever. Its a matter of awareness.

 

Insight and imagination are within you.

Do you second guess your first thought or feeling? If so, you are undermining your own best truth by questioning it and analyzing it away with your analytic thought. Notice what your first thought is and then notice what you are doing when you begin to take issue with, and second-guess its truth for you. Often we come back to that first thought after having discarded it and "gone" with our more analytic and critically-based evaluations. Sometimes its too late,by that time, to take a different path, but we can,in the process,  learn from the experience that the first thought is often worth paying more and better attention to. First thought is often the freshest, most vibrant truth for you.

Insight and imagination are within you.
