In coming times, there will be, as surmised by many, an upsetting time. What causes this upset, and how it is to come about, is not the subject of our discussion. It is to forewarn, to condition, as it were, to prepare mentally and emotionally. It is always the base of balance, to be able to reach and search within to find strength in time of need. In the middle of chaos, this would seem impossible. Yet if one has prepared mentally, it is as reviewing a process. It is not magic, it doesn't just happen, it is something that has to be reached for, an intent made, and practice begun. How is this done, this practice? It is by quieting the 'noise' around you, the environmental noises, it is finding a quiet time, to just be, to be still. In that stillness, there will be moments of peace, moments where nothing is happening, and moments of insight. This practice, this balance, though seemingly not so important, will build a steady platform within. When there is no platform, there is unevenness, and a sense of unsteadiness. Plan now to start your practice to build the strength within.
