The Quiet Space

Want to find just a little bit of quiet far from the maddening crowd? Without going away to a sanctuary or a retreat, you can find it right now, right here within yourself. Here is an accessible exercise:

Slow down the speed of your thoughts, slow it right down and become aware of the spaces in between your thoughts. Focus on the quiet, empty spaces and let them stretch over the mind; and feel the quiet, sinking from the top of your head, right through to the tip of the toes. Now allow the quiet to expand around you as you sit as quietly as you can.

Create this quiet space for yourself and carry it into the maddening crowd.
