Atlantis: The quest for power

Stop, Sit Still and just BE

by Robyn M. Speed

Have you ever stopped, sat still, and just allowed yourself to feel your body?

Have you ever stopped, sat still, and allowed yourself to hear the sounds around you?

Have you ever stopped, sat still, and just allowed yourself to BE?

Most likely you have not, and if you have it might be a rare thing for you to do. But, these are awkward times for many people, and one way that they can assist themselves is to take this quiet time to BE. Allow yourself to sit, and BE and allow your energy to balance.

Sometimes people feel frustrated because life is not going the way they would like it to go. We suggest they pause and think about what they would like to bring into their lives, and then we suggest they ‘tell the Universe�?what they are bringing into their life and LET THE MATTER GO. Surrender it.

And don’t rush the universe. Don’t expect to receive within five minutes or a day. Know that the ‘wheels are in motion�?and that all you need is patience and faith. Faith in the universe, in I AM, and in yourself. So long as you are taking steps towards your goal KNOW that you will reach that goal. Do not give up just as you stand before the finish line.

Have faith in your dreams. Have faith in your self. If you feel unworthy of your dreams, then realize this: You are a magnificent Being! No ‘mistake�?that you have ever made will ever be held against you by anyone other than a fellow human being. A mistake is merely something that you now look back on and think was not in your best interests. But all it was was an ‘experience�? nothing more. You had an experience. Let it go and look at the finest qualities about yourself that you like. Focus on those.

If you have qualities that you are not so fond of, think about how you can change them into qualities that you will be proud of. Do not assume that you can never change! That is just an excuse. Anyone and everyone can change, if they make the decision to do so.

And if you do not make the changes that you would secretly like to, are you cheating yourself? Are you living life only halfway? And if you feel you ARE living halfway: do something about it!

Do not decide that the fault lies with other people, for all of your reactions, decisions, criticisms, dislikes, likes, passions and thoughts and YOUR OWN. If a person makes you angry it is because you are choosing to be angry, you are choosing to play THEIR game and be drawn in. Let them play their game alone. Realise that the game does not involve you and that that person is just going through their own issues—and that you just happened to be in the room at that time. Do not get pulled in to everyone else’s emotions issues, unless you feel you can assist them in working through those issues. If they need someone to listen to them, perhaps you can be there to listen. If they need a shoulder to cry on, be that shoulder. But if they need someone to holler at and blame for everything in their lives, leave the room. You are hardly responsible for the problems of an entire world!

If you can understand that much of the pain in your life is because you allow yourself to be drawn in to other people’s emotional issues, then you can step back, and not allow that any longer. And if this leaves YOU feeling calmer and happier, then you will assist others to that calmness and happiness.

It’s all about choices: how to react/respond to other people, to other situations. How do YOU want to live your life? Peacefully? Calmly? Harmoniously?

Make your choice for how you would like to live this day.
