At some point as you mature, you find inner peace and life no longer seems a huge battle. You are at peace with who you are and where you are in your life. The words and actions of others do not affect you as they once did. Once you are at peace then you are able to recognize and respond to the insights and nudges coming to you from the Voice. Can you hear a whisper in the chaos of a hurricane, or beside the still, quiet lake? Find ways to quiet your mind. There are various practices that quiet the mind such as meditation and prayer. There are as many forms of meditation as there are forms of prayer. Praying using chants, singing, rituals, or beads help quiet the mind. Singing the Psalms, saying the Our Father (the Lord’s Prayer), reciting from the Koran, or saying the Rosary are a more formal way to focus, still, and elevate the mind. All paths Home teach some way to focus and quiet the mind. When thoughts of others or emotions appear while you are meditating or praying, forgive and release them.
Thank you for being patient as I recover from the flu.
