Simply That You Are!
Embrace a prayer that penetrates the depths of your unconscious, fostering true transformation. Opt for a practice like Centering Prayer, walking meditation, or the art of letting go in silence. It won't resemble acquiring knowledge but more like surrendering, shedding thoughts instead of gaining new ones. Many resist contemplation initially because it feels like relinquishing rather than achieving, contradicting our inherently ‘capitalistic’ minds.
Consider a simple yet potent practice akin to a soft compress for the soul. Accept God's graciousness without overanalyzing, releasing the constant evaluation of good or bad, divine or human. Offer your naked being to the joyful being of God, acknowledging the unity in grace while recognizing the natural separation.
Shift your focus from what you are to the profound realization that you simply are. Hold onto these words like a warm compress against your being, bypassing the mind and foregoing analysis. Simply that you are! Over time, this practice becomes an embodied experience, a journey of knowing and unknowing. By placing what you think you know under the loving presence of God, your body becomes a sanctuary of relaxation and inner rest. Trust in the unknown, for you are held in God's loving care.
May your prayers be a silent dance
that leads you into the depths of transformation,
shedding the need for achievement
and embracing the surrender of the soul.
In the banquet of grace, may you simply be,
trusting in the unknown held by the loving care of God.
In the dance of silent prayers, dive deep into the unconscious, where transformation blooms, untamed and true. Choose Centering Prayer's gentle steps, or the meditation of wandering soles, or the art of letting go in the symphony of silence. Not a pursuit of knowledge, but a surrendering, shedding thoughts like autumn leaves in the wind. Resistance lingers at the doorstep of contemplation, a contradiction to our 'capitalistic' minds. Yet, in the quiet, a practice unfolds—a soft compress for the soul. Accept God's grace without dissection, release judgments into the cosmic expanse. Naked, offer your essence to God's joyful dance, acknowledge unity in grace, honor natural separations. Shift focus from being to the profound realization: You simply are. Hold these words close, a warm embrace against your core, bypassing the labyrinth of the mind, forsaking analysis. Simply, you are! An embodied journey, a dance of knowing and unknowing, as the known surrenders to the loving presence of God. In this sanctuary of inner rest, trust the unknown, cradled in the tender care of the Divine.
