InnerSelf's Daily Inspiration
April 4, 2023
The focus for today's inspiration is:
Stillness is essential to a pleasant existence.
Distraction has become a way of life, and over the years we have created grander and grander methods of distraction. Yet, there doesn’t seem to be a correlation between our level of distraction and our ability to maintain a peaceful and joyful existence.
In the name of being happy, we have become a society of doers. Even the quest for relaxation is a form of doing. All of this doing leads to very little being. Our minds never receive the training required to bring peace to our lives so that we can simply be.
It really doesn’t matter what the distraction is. The point is that precious few of us have frequent moments of total stillness. And this is a shame, because stillness is essential not only to a pleasant existence; it is essential to healing. Healing is always a return to your divine nature, to your true self.

RECOMMENDED BOOK: The Healing Curve
The Healing Curve: A Catalyst to Consciousness
by Sara Chetkin.
Healing is more than a physical experience. Genuine restoration unveils the self and awakens the seeker. It requires openness, enduring courage, and honest inquiry into the self, and, ultimately, total surrender. The Healing Curve chronicles such a journey. On one level, it is a book about the ardent quest for true and lasting restoration from scoliosis. The story begins in the physical. But the journey often ventures inward, offering up powerful truths about our potential as human beings and how we can access this potential to create joyful and abundant lives. With each experience the seeker shares her spiritual insights as she realizes her own limitations and strives for awareness and deeper understanding of herself and her place in the world.
