During my ten day Vipassana retreat where
I, along with seventy-seven others, meditated in noble silence, the power of
STILLNESS was achieved, felt and utilized. It took three days, 4 a.m. to 9 p.m.
to quieten the monkey in my brain (those thoughts that bombard you like a
meteor shower), but after that phase I entered a space of fresh, clear and crisp
emptiness where thoughts and emotions simply shot by in a dull flash, not
touching the STILL canvas I had created. There was no more centre or boundaries,
no more attachment, tension, or reaction to thought or pain; this was surely
freedom in its purest form.
My Vipassana experience confirmed, for
me, that we truly are the programmers of our brain ... that meditation, prayer,
affirmations, self-talk, etc. are the primary work we need to do before we
consider dieting, healing, or embarking on any task that requires a deviation
from the mundane.
Create a receptacle of STILLNESS inside
yourself, because that’s where your power blazes.
