The Bliss of Stillness

This morning our local SRF Meditation Circle celebrated our annual

Christmas meditation.  This is a tradition started by Paramahansa

Yogananda of setting aside one day during the busy holiday

season for divine communion.  It's the spiritual celebration

before the social celebration.

It's amazing how quickly one can go into the depths of inner

silence & stillness when one simply sets aside the time

to be quiet and listen.

Of course, having a group of like-minded souls to meditate with

is an enormous help.  Environment is stronger than will and 

when one is in a spiritual environment it makes it so much

easier to ignore the aches & pains of the body and

  helps to tame the ever restless 'monkey mind.'

Joy to the World

May we all be instruments of peace and goodwill.
