Tonight, I met up with a group of friends from Texas, and one of them was telling us about a book she is reading that dissects the following scripture by starting with the entire verse and taking off the last word of the verse bit by bit. It thought it was a beautiful meditation on these simple and profound words of God: "Be still and know that I am God" Psalm 46:10a
Be still and know that I am God.
Be still and know that I am.
Be still and know that.
Be still and know.
Be still.
Be.

Wow, I really like that. Meditation is so hard for me. All you have to do is "Be" Why can't I do that?
I think meditation is hardest for women. Our brains are programmed to be multi-tasking so being still is hard enough, but to just be? That is even harder.
Starshine, this is a great verse and meditation mantra. Thank you.
I love it!!!! One of my favorite verses.
Do you know what book it is?
Yes, we are human be-ings, so funny that we forget that so easily.
This is a very practical way of entering into meditation with a simple phrase of scripture. I've also enjoyed taking a well-known phrase ("The Lord is my shepherd" or "Our Father in heaven") and focusing for a few moments on each word. Thanks for this great blog.
In an activitistic culture, perhaps the most courageous (and challenging) thing for us to "do" is be...
Maybe I could meditate on: "Be Still And Just Be." I don't know. I've been searching for a meditation mantra.
What a great lesson, to just "be." I remember meditating in yoga class years ago. It was so peaceful. I don't think I've meditated since then. Maybe I should try again.
VERY cool. :) Thanks. I may try this.
