My mind wants to tell me that ‘just sitting’
- sitting meditation in Silence – is not enough.
But my Heart/Spirit knows that
’just sitting”-
in Silent Awareness
- sitting meditation in Silence – is not enough.
But my Heart/Spirit knows that
’just sitting”-
in Silent Awareness
is exquisitely enough…
It is
communion
with the
Infinite
Beingness
of all
life
communion
with the
Infinite
Beingness
of all
life
It is the “medicine”
for every ailment…
It is the Light that brings awareness
to all hidden places…
It is the Spaciousness
from which all knowing
and all needed action
arises
with
clarity
for every ailment…
It is the Light that brings awareness

Heart says:
Spend as much time as possible
’just sitting’

the formless in form:

Can we truly embrace
that

Can we allow ourselves to remember
what we *really* are,
beyond
disturbances of the mind,
our insecurities,
our thoughts,
our feelings,
our beliefs,
our
self-image,
our self-identities
our roles and labels…

Can we quit pretending
that “we’re only human”
that we can’t know…
Can we
take off the shadowy masks
that blind us,

SEE

You don’t have to wait lifetimes…
It’s right here, right now -
everywhere…
Just be still
’just sit’
in
Silence

Silence

Open the eyes of the Heart
and

Our “Divine Essence”
has always been here
has always been here
Feel IT
Experience IT
Don’t settle…

VERY well expressed! "just sitting”-in Silent Awareness is exquisitely enough…" Yes... just some silence, and I often feel so much better. I might cry while I'm "on the cushion," but I'm better for having had the silence to sift through things and connect with the Divine. LOVELY art work--I like the colors and lotus symbol with the yin-yang, delicately beautiful Christine. ((HEART-HUGS))
ReplyDeleteThank you Tracy... Yes, connecting with that sense of "inner Divine" - also what I call "The Silence"; sitting in silence to *meet* "The Silence" - to commune with "The Divine." It's all the same thing really... And yes - feelings and emotions will definitely arise within the context of "sitting meditation", but as you know, it's all okay :) Love, C
Deletelovely words and ideas. I like the way you arrange them on the page too. Lotus drawing nice too. just sit.
ReplyDeleteThank you Suki :) Yes, really I'm talking about "sitting meditation" - or it could be Yoga - anything that takes us into that inner space of Silent Awareness, and allows us to see/experience that we *are* this Divine Spacious Silence from which everything arises... :)
