State of Mind - Psalms, Frankl, Brown, Sun, Guidance -

Practicing a little self-love this month. It's time for me to go deeper than I've been for awhile, which means cutting internal and external chatter. Lots of things brewing, so I really need to center myself. I am emotionally burnt-out and tired as I can be. 

And with a little sun, sand, and culture, hopefully I can do so. 

This is where I'm beginning: 

Actually - I began this years ago with my fascination with the scripture in Psalms 46:10, Be Still and Know that I Am God. My intrigue came with the breaking down of this scripture, the phrases found in this scripture, and the power of the words - singularly and together. 

And this: 

Man's Search for Meaning, by Viktor Frankl. This book will be discussed at a conference I'm attending mid-April, and I'm really wanting to delve into his "meaning making" theory. 

And this: 

Brene Brown's, Braving the Wilderness is reminding me that I can be alone, be true, and be brave. 

And this: 

Samadhi refers to a state of mind rather than a physical position of the body. Which really brings me back full circle to the Knowing, the Being, the I accompanied with Am God. 

"Don’t search for stillness, but stop reacting to the outer illusion unconsciously, 

and gradually your mud will settle, as they say in Zen."
