Do you sometimes get messages or signs or a gut feeling and you ask yourself “Is it true?” We tend to question anything that can’t be weighed or measured. And that’s a good thing, because science removes debilitating handicaps like superstition and powerlessness (what we can actually weigh or measure, we can also change, alter, affect, and improve). But how do we weigh or measure Stillness? How do we know when it’s real? By realizing that we don’t only have five senses, we have at least twelve (a sense for balance, a sense for language, a sense for warmth, and a sense of self, to name just a few, are not covered in the five we typically refer to as our senses). And our “sixth sense” that we use to intuit what a dream means, or to understand a funny feeling we get when we meet someone, is just as important in weighing and measuring our human experience as is our five primary senses. Stillness is also a sense, because we can literally sense it. We sense it as clearly as we sense the smell of a rose or the sound of an owl hooting. So, imagine your sense of stillness emanating from an organ of stillness. Access and activate it as often as you can. It develops of its own accord through your conscious awareness of it, just as our senses of touch, taste, and the rest do.
