Busy lives and competing demands can distract us from what matters most, causing imbalance and tension in the relationships we have with ourselves, family, friends, and the world. In this month-long series, Jay guides you towards creating and reintegrating harmony in your life.

Transcript

At the heart of being,

Visualize a lake.

When the lake is flat and calm,

And nothing is moving,

The potential power of that mass of water is enormous.

The first ripple across the surface is the first manifestation of that power.

Similarly,

Within our consciousness,

Our self,

When we are calm and silent,

We are at our most powerful.

In the external world of nature,

The mirror-like quality of the lake,

The calm and serene state of the lake,

Attracts our attention.

We seem to recognize this form of natural beauty and resonate with it from a place deep within our own nature.

Perhaps it's because it represents and mirrors our own true,

Natural,

And original state.

Similarly,

If you are in the presence of someone who is completely calm,

Someone who seems to carry a certain serenity into everything they do,

It is as if they give off the fragrance of peace.

It is a fragrance that also attracts our attention because it resonates with the heart of our being,

Which is at its core of the same nature.

Sit for a few more moments and savor the enormous potential of the stillness of your silent being.

Thank you.

Borrow the stillness of the lake ... We have a lake right next to our property so when it is not raining I will do this one again. I feel this when I go down to the beach, the huge calming power of the waves... or now it is raining over my big oak tree and I notice the shelter it provides, I like reflecting on this for a moment. Calming as the gentle rain cleanses everything... Eventhough we've had way too much rain it is what it is. I'll surrender my worries about global warming as I can only do my part... But evaluating if I can do more... Speaking about the contributes to audiences who will listen is one way when I do my presentations, incorporate this... The extent of the American healthcare industry contributing as much greenhouse emissions as all of UK (Yale study) is substantial enough to support healthy eating!
