The Healing Power of Silence!

As 2009 comes to a close, I have been reflecting on the events of this year and I must say, I'm truly amazed at all the opportunities, challenges and deep sisterhood connections I have made. All I can say is WOW I'm so grateful! What an amazing year this has been and, I truly believe, this is just the beginning.

With 2010 being only a few weeks away, I have been having this powerful urge to be very still and silent in order to truly connect to God, myself, and the Universe. Because I so deeply believe in spiritual power, I sense that there is a purpose to my desire in order to help me develop a, dare I say, divine strategic plan for 2010. In truth, I feel this for anyone willing to stop and just be still.

Here's what I'm learning:

Stillness and silence powerfully connects me to God's divinity and the Universe's energy. Stillness and silence moves me from consciousness to nonconsciousness where truth resides. It brings dreams and visions to life. For the first time in a very long while, I can feel the energy of creation and life all around me. It's an amazing experience feeling vibration, stamina, and vitality. We, as women, are so good at being busy, moving all the time. Learning to be still can help you feel yourself be deeply moved by the power of God and the Universe.

I'm also experiencing a deeper sense of clarity. While meditating, I had a vision of several puzzle pieces floating around me and as I focused on what I wanted for next year, each piece began to fall into place beautifully, effortlessly. Slowly I can see the picture of this puzzle forming into something amazing. It's giving me purpose and hope for next year each time to visualize it. I'm really excited!

Since RELEASE, so many opportunities have been presented to me that I actually got distracted and maybe even a little off course. This call to silence has brought me back to my authentic truth, helped me get grounded and secure in who I am, what I'm called to accomplish and where I'm going and this time I'm intent on staying my course. Are you allowing the rush of the season and the end-of-the-year to cause you to get distracted and off course? If so, stop, take a deep breath, and regroup.

And finally, the most amazing thing that I've discovered about being still and silent is, silence is NOT empty. It's filled with life, truth, power, direction, clarity, and energy.

We live in a world that has conditioned us to keep moving and doing, doing and doing even more, which has unfortunately caused us to probably be more off course than we know. Yet, there is hope!

As you prepare for next year, make a commitment to yourself that you'll find 15 minutes a day (I suggest right before you go to bed) for the rest of the month of December and be silent. Remember to breathe, feel your spirit and your body, open yourself up and let silence be a greatest teacher.

To Your Highest Success,

Anita
