All aboard!

Welcome to Quest for My Soul! I believe that within us lies:

• •Every answer to every question you have about yourself
• •Resolution to all of your conflicts
• •Keys to your relationships
• •Strength & wisdom to handle any situation
• •Reconciliation of our past issues & baggage
• •Keys to success in all areas of our lives.

I believe that to accomplish this we need to be in the silence so we can slow down, hear the Creator speak to us, feel our intuition, and rest our minds. If you have never meditated or disciplined yourself to sit quietly for any length of time, silence is often not very golden. So I am here to support you in your efforts to create daily sabbath time, a time of rest, silence, contemplation,and pure beingness.

Enter...the Commit to Silence Challenge. Every week those who are willing can commit to spending a specified amount of time (must be a minimum of 10 minutes) of their own choosing in silence. Every Saturday or Sunday post your commitment on this site. State your first name or first & last initials and the number of minutes you will sit in silence each day for 7 days straight. Then at the end of each week, those who wish to recommit will commit to 7 more days, etc. etc, etc. until we have formed a new lifestyle habit.

Here's the how-to:

(1) Find a designated spot in your home to sit in uninterrupted silence. You may choose to have your silent time while taking a walk or jogging.  Do what works for you. I choose different things on different days depending on my mood, the weather, the time of day but I have the luxury of working from home and setting my own schedule.

(2) generally we are more successful at something like this when we do it at the same time every day & in the morning when there are fewer distractions;

(3) sit in any position that is comfortable for you - in a chair, on the floor, etc. 

(4) set a clock/timer to go off at the end of your set time so you do not have to continually open your eyes to watch the clock. I use the timer on my IPhone and have chosen a pretty ring tone (church bells) to signal the end time.

(5) light a candle, dim the lights, whatever sets a mood and makes the session more sacred or special for you.

(6) discipline yourself to sitting the full amount of time you set no matter how uncomfortable or bored you become and no matter how fast your mind is racing.

(7) put a pad & pen next to you to write down anything that comes up that you might want to remember. You will begin to have thoughts, feelings, and insights that move you.

(8) let me know how you are doing - no matter how badly or wonderfully it is going; and

(9) Don't give up! The benefits are so good!
