Only by beginning and returning to silence can we make sense of everything happening around us andin our lives. Only by moving inward to practice some form of centering prayer, meditation or witnessing does the strenghtof clarity arise from. There is no easy way - just a choice to stop , move forward and be still . . . Listening to the breath, watching what arises moment to moment with no attachment. Meditation serves as the most basic and simple tool to bring us back to the state of our inner calm.
Be aware, one of the basic skills to develop in meditation is to just step back from the thoughts, and witness. Just watch. By doing so, we can then learn to bring to whatever pain we may feel, the loving energy of accepting the present moment and what arises.
