Simple acts of calm

When we take in junk impressions such as violent movies and TV dramas we can disturb our minds and affect our emotional balance.

There was a time when life was quieter, slower and so we had time to  breathe and time to think, but now everything is so fast and polluted  by noise and images that we can easily become punch drunk and exhausted, the only time we get to process the impressions of our  senses is while we sleep.

Entertaining the senses has become an addiction. People everywhere are constantly fiddling with phones or Facebook, as if we’ve forgotten how to be content with our own quiet company. Our senses are not everything, they serve the purpose of gathering information from outside world, but real perception and real pleasure happens internally. When we  connect with our internal world we journey closer to who we really are, there is a beautiful sense of peace and awareness to be found in pressing pause.  

For that to happen we need to learn to turn down the noise…

Namaste
