The Importance of Stillness in a Busy World

When was the last time you recall being still in your life? The last time you had a moment to yourself where you could pause without rushing into the next task or place you needed to be?

It's all too easy to get caught in rushing from one activity to another, juggling responsibilities, meetings, and social commitments. Stillness on the other hand is stepping outside of our usual 'doing' to tap into a greater awareness about ourselves.

Put another way, stillness invites us to stop and check if we are going in the right direction.

However, understanding how to properly ‘feeling your feelings’ can be a powerful skill to make our selves more at easy and our lives more satisfying.
