Thoughts to guide us by (For March 2017)

Every so often during the day when things go at breakneck speed, we need a peaceful, quiet center in our minds – to get away and decompress from the extreme busyness of our schedule. To shield us from the dizzying confusion swirling around us in our unceasing quest for political stability, peace, economic progress, and moral regeneration.

Observing and practicing moments of absolute quiet, even briefly, when feeling swamped and harassed as we go through the routinary grinds of the day – is a great stress-buster. In quietness and confidence lie our strength!

Called creative quietness, it helps usher us to minute vacations that reinvigorate and relax our bodies, calm our minds, soothe and heal our spirits. Great ideas blossom and are fashioned during moments of silence!

The wonderful, inner peace that silence brings can be developed and optimally enjoyed – when we invoke and pray for God’s grace – by clearing the mind, keeping the body still, doing nothing, not talking, as in deep meditation, for few moments. There is healing power in silence!!!

Peace and abundance to us all!!!  - Elvie Punzalan-Estavillo, [email protected]
