Walking The Illuminated Path
"Be still, and
know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in
the earth." ~ Psalm 46:10
Have you ever tried to calm a small child with an owie
(wound)? The first order of business is to get them to stop crying and to “be
still” so that you can survey the extent of the injury. The same applies for us in our walk with God.
We often cry out about our hurts and pains, but neglect to still ourselves to
allow for healing.

The English dictionary definition for stillness is not moving,
and being quiet. From a biblical
perspective, these two words take on much greater meaning. The Hebrew definition
is to stop striving, to let go, surrender. Read More | by

How Do I Quite My Mind?
The first step to quite mind is to become fully present in the
moment. Realize the mind isn’t going to stop thinking. The goal of mindfulness
isn’t to suppress thinking, but to surpass it.
3 Steps You Can Take To Quiet Your Mind
- Sit Comfortably and Relax Your Body
- Get In Touch With Your Breathing
- Establish A Focal Point & Center Your Thoughts (Warning! May take some time)
There are many blessings in stillness. We have to create the
space to be still in our lives (Make it a priority). Born out of stillness
comes clarity, peace, and serenity. Still moments hold you on days when life
becomes mundane and overwhelming. You can close your eyes and visualize the
time it was just you and God. Being still establishes a center you can rely on
when life becomes imbalanced.
May you always walk in peace, and out of stillness become one with your mind, body, and
spirit.
