Stability in mind, body and heart is present as we navigate challenges, move through unexpected transitions, or confront change. We know that stability and our adaptability strengthens from our twice daily meditation practice.
The attributes for stability:
Stamina – the ability to sustain prolonged physical or mental effort. We are what we eat, drink and Be in our environment. Exercising the mind and body. Following a daily Ayurvedic Routine is good for creating a strong physical and mental stamina.
Capability -to the extent of someone's or something's ability. Capable of recognising our thoughts and what is happening around us. Being present with our senses. Feeling when something or someone around us is in low grade consciousness, then we are capable of Compassion and Empathy.
Also, when we're called to action that we are capable of responding with single pointedness like the arrow that shoots directly to the target from within.
Preparedness for action – A state of readiness to move through and achieve whatever is happening in life. When we sit to meditate we are strengthening that preparedness for action by releasing the stress, tension and fatigue from the mind and body. When a Rushi (a wave in consciousness) is coming toward us that we prepare and be ready for the challenges. Sometimes this is not easy to do at the time but we take courage from our inner strength, respond the best way we can and move forward knowing that everything is well and wisely set in place.
Truth – is that which doesn’t change – it is within all of us. As meditators we cultivate a strong feeling of the Knower within. Nature will always reciprocate but we must let go in order to hear, see, feel, touch, taste and smell. It’s through our senses that Nature communicates with us.
Accepting change – Displaying open mindedness for desires to come through via new ideas and proposals. Demonstrating a willingness to do things differently. As meditators we draw back the bow string to move beyond the ever repeating known into a state of consciousness where one’s individuality moves from stagnation or perhaps rigid attachment into letting go. No longer ignoring the truth but the willingness to grow and raise our consciousness state. We either progress and make positive changes or keep repeating and risk deterioration and destruction.
Yoga (meditation) is a state of Consciousness. The place where individuality meets the Absolute, Pure Consciousness, engaging fully in the Truth of everything we need to know.
How we adapt to change is important. If we have high grade stability, we have good adaptability. In -low grade stability and adaptability the world (Universe, Nature) does not reciprocate well. Integrate well inside –all goes well. No integration - things are not orderly. Stability and the ability to adapt well in different situations enables the flow of life to go smoothly and we don’t suffer.
We know that the connection between the mind and body are intimately connected, that the body needs to rest to allow the restoration process to happen, to rid itself of stress, tension and fatigue on a daily basis– we do this through sleep but mostly through our twice daily meditation practice.
