Quiet Renewal


Sometime earlier this year I fell off the meditation horse and have gotten back up on it and been riding again. By that I mean spending time in meditation most days.

My mind body and spirit really missed this time of reflection and quiet.

One of the tools I use as a part of my quiet time is a booklet of meditations called The Daily Word put out by Unity Publications. This morning’s reading (December 1, 2018) reminded me of just how important my stillness is for me.

The reading suggests that when we take time in our day for a period of stillness our spirit gathers power to sustain and restore life. Time of resting in silence promotes a spirit of creativity and cooperation that prepares us for the day ahead.

I know my day generally goes smoother when I start it with a period of quiet reflection.

I like the concept of “silent resting” as a powerful self-care therapy for mind, body and spirt as the reading suggests. This resonates with me well.

“I relax and just be”.

This power filled statement we can use alongside our heartbeat and breath to help promote a calm peace inside. Through this time to “just be” our spirit can “rejoice with a sense of renewal”.

I am more connected to my spirit, to me, on the days I take the time and give myself the gift of quiet stillness in preparation for the day ahead.

I am very grateful that old meditation horse came back around and I’m back up on her and riding once again!

How might you give yourself quiet renewal time to relax and just be?
