Please take time to be silent every day, if only for a few minutes.
\nThis will help you immeasurably in your program for wellness of body, mind, and soul.
\nFind a quiet place, and just sit and close your eyes. Try to put your
\nattention on your breathing–in and out, in and out. Let any and all
\nthoughts (and they will come) just float by.
\nIf you wish, you can say a prayer. Or you may find that repeating a
\nchant, or mantra is soothing and freeing. Try this: “I am. I am. I am.”
\nOr, “God, I need help…I need help…God, I need help.”
\nLet it be only a few minutes, or more if you can. Just as you’re ready
\nto open your eyes again and return to the world, take a second to
\nappreciate God for the care and help you receive, for your life, and
\nthe fullness of grace that is yours.
