Being quiet allows us to tap into Universal flow, giving us the advantage of connecting to the love, peace, wisdom, and guidance it holds. Making peace with inertia gives Spirit a chance to work on our unconscious and psyche in unseen, positive ways. The Value of Quiet – of Slowing Down We have all recently been forced to slow life down. Some of us have embraced – and even welcomed the extra quiet time; some of us have hated it. Some of us have recognized the value of it; others of us have become frustrated with it, or even angry about it. Having this recent forced quiet in our life is a gift. It has made us slow down – out of business, and able to take stock of our life. Business: Robs us of the peaceful feelings we all so yearn for. Keeps us from giving fully to the really important people or things in our life. Creates stress in us, reducing our capacity to tap into joy. Business keeps us tethered to our mind, as it is constantly beset with all the details it must hold in attempts to keep everything organized.

If your tendency is to fight having extra or quiet time, shifting from the frustration of it all or the anger it brings up in you – to using the time effectively by getting things done – with gratitude for the opportunity to do so will make life more pleasant for you once restrictions are lifted, as well as lift your mood. At the same time, allowing yourself to get comfortable with some quiet time will help you get through this next little while more relaxed and less anxious about it all. All my writing focuses on some aspect of "Our Journey to Peace," from understanding our anger, frustration, blame, hurt feelings, etc., and how to make the shifts to finding peace with ourselves - and harmony with others.  About my books here These newfound skills of working with “what is” and “allowing for some quiet time” can be brought forward in life, and will benefit you in the future.
