Find a comfortable spot, on a cushion, on the sofa, on the back step. Just sit, close your eyes, and breathe. There is nothing else to think about, worry about or plan.
Nothing else you need to do. Nowhere else you need to be.
Sit with yourself for a while.
Tip #2
Things are not always perfect. We can quieten the television, the kids, the teenager’s music if we can, but most of all, we can accept.
If we are interrupted with a question we can stop, and start again. If a plane flies overhead or if our doorbell rings, we can accept.
Tip #3
Allow yourself to relax, physically and mentally. Our noisy mind becomes quiet – and we stay. We do this every day and enjoy it like a treat.
Let go of all expectation. Don’t be in a rush. Noise is just normal. Disruption is normal.
Smile and let go.
Tip #4
Over time our housemates watch and learn. Our children watch and learn.
Even our pets begin to settle by our side.
We meditate alone or amidst the chaos of family life.
We find the peace inside our mind, which has been hidden all this time like a treasure.
