How to stay grounded

 

T

he secret to staying grounded is simple:

Don’t leave the ground.

Don’t indulge the thinking. Don’t noodle the juicy story.

Nothing is more important than presence.

Your heart does not resist your body coming to silence.

Only the voices of resistance want you to leave the peace that is who you authentically are to visit the mind’s Crazy Fun House of distorted mirrors and shifting floors.

Why?

So you can frantically search for peace. The peace you had before you left. The peace that is you.

Stay at Center and allow everything to come to you. Never leave Center to indulge a problem, a concern, or a worry.

Center is where your power is.

“Chasing after the world brings chaos.
Allowing it all to come to me brings peace.”
—Zen Gatha
