A Time of Reflection

As I was meditating this morning a message came through and I wrote it down.

‘The visible world reflects the invisible, just as water reflects life.

Water births life, it nourishes life, and it flows through all of life’.

As I pondered what this meant, I was drawn to thinking about water. Water is an element that sustains life. Water is both gentle and strong – we only need to think of a raindrop on a leaf or a powerful waterfall. I am reminded of the saying ‘Still waters run deep’, referring to quiet people who are deep thinkers.

We are being called to withdraw to the quiet, still place of reflection, inside ourselves.

But how do we do this?

Imagine you are sitting beside a still pool of water. Imagine looking at the surface of the water and ask yourself what you see.

The answer is that you will see whatever is around you – Do you picture yourself in a forest? Then trees and leaves will be reflected in the water. Are you beside a lake? Then the sky will be reflected or perhaps a nearby mountain. The visible world is reflected in the water.

The question we must ask ourselves is – what does our inner environment look like? What are we reflecting?

Be still and quieten your mind. Stop and breathe. The quieter you become, the more you will see.

Remember, you are important so take the time to quieten your invisible life and this will be reflected in your outer, visible world.

Allow yourself to be nourished by the stillness that is waiting for you when you take a moment to allow yourself to become quiet.
