I call it the dwelling place. It is a place where I can sit down and just be. It is a place where I can rest. I can let go of all the cares and worries of the world. I can be quiet and shut out the noise of the day. So sometimes I call it the resting place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-259\" src=\"http:\/\/www.spiritualdynamics.net\/wellness\/wp-content\/uploads\/QuietPlace.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"280\" height=\"199\" \/>It is a place. It is a place within me where I can go and be still.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Just for five minutes I can rest and be still.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">I don&#8217;t have to pray. I don&#8217;t have to ask for anything. I don&#8217;t have to save the world and I don&#8217;t have to be spiritual. I don&#8217;t have to use the right words or the right techniques to find God, understand God or have God do anything for me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">I can just rest and be still.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Oh, it is a blessed place to just be quiet and not have to do anything.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">As I rest in this place within my being, it feels like the lap of water against the side of a moored sailboat. That gentle rocking motion, so soothing. It flows over me, rocking me, soothing and calming. Like a babe rocked in mother&#8217;s arms, held close to the heart, the fretfulness falls away. Peace is restored. I can breathe again, I notice, as I release a deep sigh.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">The dwelling place. It renews me. It restores me. I want to live in this place all the time. That is why I call it the dwelling place. I want to reside here, dwell here. I know such peace in this place. I feel beautiful here; beauty surrounds me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">I feel nurtured here in this place. All of the broken pieces of me are knit up. I&#8217;m not broken any more. I am made whole again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">I notice the Sun is shining gently, smiling on my spirit. Everything is gentle in this place. It is a place of ease and flow. Ease and flow. I call this grace. This grace flows through me and I am part of it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">It is my dwelling place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">It is my dwelling place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">*Recommendation: For the how-to manual on achieving bliss consciousness, see Owen Waters latest e-book, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.infinitebeing.com\/ebooks\/higher.htm\"><em>&#8220;Higher Consciousness: Finding Peace and Joy Above the Noise.&#8221;<\/em><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><em><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Tell a friend&#8230;<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Dreama Vance There is a place within me.
