Every day in December try one of the following ideas
or invent your own pathways to stillness:
 |
When your alarm goes off, hit the snooze button and
take a moment to greet your day with intention.
|
|
Start your day with an affirmation, for example:
“I am centered on the stillness within.”
|
|
During the day, find a window, step outside at lunch or break and look for a touch of
Nature’s beauty. Breath in some fresh
air, allow Nature to weave your consciousness into Her rhythm.
|
|
If you’re feeling edgy or tired, take a moment to stop and s-t-r-e-t-c-h … open and
expand your body, shake out any static or negativity, let some fresh vitality flow in.
|
|
If you’re feeling pulled in all directions, take a moment to stop and become aware of
your energetic center (perhaps in your belly, your heart, or your navel area) … feel
your center … breath into your center … expand from your center.
|
|
When arriving home from work in the darkness, take time as you get out of your car to look
up at the night sky. Breath deeply as you
sky-gaze, breathing in the crisp night air, and releasing out any frenzied energies from
your day. Breathe deeply at least 3 or four
times.
|
|
Before going to bed, turn out all the lights and light a candle. Place your awareness on the candle flame, while
allowing your breath to refresh and relax you. (Don’t
fall asleep with the candle burning.)
|
|
Play some quiet music, drumming or nature sounds as you get into bed. Allow the rhythm of the music to caress and rock
you, lulling you into the deep realms of sleep and stillness.
