How do you actually get to calm and stillness despite all the chaos we go through day-to-day? The thing about stillness that is misunderstood is that what we're actually not doing is quieting down the chaos. We're not quieting down our minds. We're not eliminating all the distractions and the threats that are going on around us.
Instead, we're doing the opposite. What we're actually saying is, "I can handle it. I am confident in the moment right where I am." We're no longer fighting the threats, and we're comfortable and accepting of where we are. To me, that is ultimate stillness.
