What's interesting is that the quiet and the groundedness provides comfort and invitation. There is no judgment, no manipulation, only reflection and readiness. And in that energy, in that calm, the one who is frazzled becomes calm as well, and sometimes, what has been guarded inside is suddenly revealed, and information from the heart is shared. Deep emotion is allowed. Connection is made. And all because of calm abiding.
It works in almost any situation requiring patience or courage, or in any territory that is unfamiliar. Some people chit chat nervously, or laugh with discomfort, but in so doing their energy remains scattered. Calm abiding is a raising of attention, an entrance into the absolute presence of the moment and what is happening, conscious breathing, clear vision, and a heightening of every sense perception. It soothes all that is disturbed and opens the path to serenity. It's a journey and a destination, a solution to every problem, and good therapy for a scattered and over-complicated world.
I will stay calm and present and grounded today, especially when confronted with chaotic energy.
