Meditation the Quietening of the Mind

It has been said that prayer is when you talk to God. And, meditation is when God talks to you. If that is true and I believe that it is, then it is to our advantage to know how to do it in an instance.The art of meditation is within all of us.

We just need to take the time to do it. Meditating is simply getting still and allowing our mind to become blank. Sure at first, your mind will want to wonder off into multiple directions. Just quietly tell it to stop and be still. I like to use the phrase "peace-be still," It brings my mind back into focus and quite once more.

That is the phrase Jesus used when he and some of the disciples were on a boat. The sea began to toss the boat they were in. Jesus had gone to sleep. The disciples became afraid and woke Jesus. Asking him to calm the raging sea. Jesus became angry with the disciples because they, too, had the ability to calm the sea, They did not have the faith-they did not believe in themselves. But Jesus stepped on deck and told the stormy sea PEACE-BE STILL. If those powerful words can calm the movement of the sea, they can certainly calm your active mind.

Once your mind is quite, receive the information that is developing within you. It is different from the noise of your wondering mind. It comes from a much deeper place and it is pure love. You are experiencing meditation.
