Sitting is a natural slowing down of this rushing, self-centred, mind-body chattering that we often live. This is a practice of realization, which is what we are, and practice allows us to be who we are. As we practice we discover who and what we are….Being still is not a means to an end; it is not that we should be still and then create something else or change. Being still is being who we are.
