I feel us missing each other and I can feel the pressure we have been given each other. I truly love him and am learning to be patient more. I also should be still with my business. I am some-what impatient and need to be patient and attentive with my business and not discourage or belittle myself. 1 Reply Kristi1 month agoKristiI’d like to think I can be with anyone , anywhere and be a good listener, but lately I’ve found myself talking more rather than just listening, not sure if I’ve changed or if I’ve just become more aware? 2 Reply Malag1 month agoMalagMe myself and I. If I experience stillness in me I am in a better place with others. Best stillness time for me is early morning when no on else is up. Not sure that I listen though. I hear what’s around me and the chattering thoughts within. 2 Reply Hot Sauce1 month agoHot SauceI can be still and listen as I fall asleep in my room at night. Sometimes, the silence at night can be comforting and reminds me that the future looks bright. 3 Reply expati1 month agoexpatiI do best with this when alone. There’s a special place I rarely go to in the woods that’s a half hour walk from my apartment. For special occasions. Otherwise I do this upon waking every morning while lying in bed. I try to tune in to the spirits of my ancestors when I need a sense of direction. My understanding is that they have some good ideas but rely on us as they don’t have bodies to carry out these plans. 3 Reply Carol1 month agoCarolI’m retired and I live alone so I have time and lots or quiet spaces. For me the most important thing is being in a comfortable chair or on a comfortable mat if I lie down. I find body and sensory knowing a great avenue to connecting to stillness. I often just want to get out of my head and let the body be one of my teachers. Listening to the body is a real eye opener! Also, breath exercises are good for stopping the minds business and being in the present moment. 4 Reply Ose1 month agoOseWith dear friends when connected via wlan or telephone and lovingly listening to the space between us, during meditation, now also, while letting this one extraordinary day pass again in front of my mind and my heart´s eye, while lightening an incense stick and bowing in front of our ancestors in deep gratefulness. Wishing all a good night´s sleep and a beautiful day for all to come, from my heart. 3 Reply sb1 month agosbIts not always easy, life can be too busy, but when I walk early in the morning, just me and nature, it is easier – sometimes really easy. We should all make more time and it is good to be reminded of this. 4 Reply Don Jones1 month agoDon JonesAt 3.30 am in my mediation space with my dog – every day. 4 Reply Malag1 month agoMalagThere’s nothing like the sigh of your dog when you are both in mid meditation, Don! 3 Reply Melissa1 month agoMelissaMy friends and in nature. 3 Reply Linda1 month agoLindaReally anywhere, if I just do it! 3 Reply Cathie1 month agoCathieAnywhere and with anyone of like disposition – the challenge for me is the discipline to do so. 2 Reply Yolande Arends1 month agoYolande ArendsAs the sunrise with splendour over the Cape Peninsula and i can smell the fresh ocean breeze, listening to the seagulls morning greeting….I am at peace…thank you 4 Reply Lauryn1 month agoLaurynMy favorite campsite in southern Vermont — it overlooked a small reservoir. I loved waking up early morning in my tent just listening to the sounds outside...super early around 5am it would be sounds of random squirrels and chipmunks scurrying through the forest... then as the sun came up you’d start hearing the birds chirp... the comforting sounds of other campers waking up, starting a campfire, cooking breakfast. The sounds of others putting kayaks in the water nearby. I’m a few thousand...My favorite campsite in southern Vermont — it overlooked a small reservoir.

I love camping too & your favorite site sounds magical! 🙂 2 Reply Michele1 month agoMichelegreat description! made me miss my favorite spot too:) 1 Reply Patricia1 month agoPatriciaIn this moment, pausing, and listening…. and offering myself in openness to this day and to the One who made me. 4 Reply DeVonna1 month agoDeVonnaEach morning I have the opportunity to sit with my own thoughts and quietly listen for the voice of God. Sadly, I don’t always avail myself of this opportunity. I am a worrier. Especially when it comes to the people I love. Oh I pray, trust me, I pray without ceasing throughout the day, but sometimes I forget to just pause and listen. Thank you for today’s reminder to not allow my voice, to drown out God’s. 6 Reply expati1 month agoexpatiWhat role does the worrying have in your life? Does is help? 1 Reply Ed Schulte1 month agoEd Schulte“Watch, listen, study, contemplate, then step lightly but decisively on.” Read from the I Ching this morning. It applies at all levels of consciousness / being-ness / no “matter with whom or where” I see the ‘Word of the Day’ says similar. 5 Reply Journey1 month agoJourneyI think it extremely difficult and impossible to be still and listen. I have started daily guided meditation 10 to 15 minutes, it helps me to stay focused on the message and does slow down my heart rate. I am not able to shut my mind down otherwise. Even in nature, by the ocean, by any serene surrounding, my mind is wandering, wandering, wandering. 4 Reply Holly in Ohio1 month agoHolly in OhioMyself, now, here. 3 Reply 1 2 Next » My Private Gratitude Journal Write an entry in your private gratefulness journal Get Started This site is brought to you by A Network for Grateful Living, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
