Episode 59 "Stillness"

from "The Grateful Dread" (podcast) · host Andrew Young

On this episode I talk about stillness. I know many people that are intimidated by meditation but I promise it's not nearly as complicated as some would make it seem and it works WONDERS. While there are tons of guided meditations on youtube I find the simplest way to begin a practice of meditation is to just find a quiet place where you can practice being still. Do it for 10 minutes in the morning, do it for 1 minute if that's all you can do but just sit there with your eyes closed and be still don't force any thoughts in fact try to not think about anything at all just breathe and be still. There is such peace found in stillness and I've discovered that you begin to recognize your own thoughts and after a while you notice higher thoughts. Stillness allows you to tap into that source energy that we all possess. When Jesus spoke of the kingdom of God I believe he was talking about entering that space of complete peace that is found within from the simple act of being still. If you want take it a step further and pray after that ten minutes. I promise you if you spend just 10 minutes a day being still within a month you will notice changes in your life and you will find yourself going back to that safe place whenever you find yourself overwhelmed.
