The decision to be physically still represents a fundamental posture in relationship to life itself. It means you're making a commitment that no matter what happens, even if the whole world seems to be falling apart, you will not move. In the unenlightened state, constantly driven by conditioned impulses of fear and desire, we are always moving. Not moving is a metaphor for the goal, because one who is enlightened is one who inwardly never moves from that which is most important.
Thanks Magi
My main goal for 2010 was to make time for meditation.
Every Sunday night :)
Being still is one of 3 main components of Meditation.

Stace - I need to remember this. I also need to take a page from your book and meditate. Thank you for sharing these reflections with us.
