“All you need to do is to set apart some time, making [[Stillness]] a daily [[habit]], to seek and cultivate that precious [[connection]] with the Guiding Gift from [[God within]] and make this a daily habit. It will be the best habit ever and over time result in peace of [[mind]] and multiple other benefits that will [[accrue]] in your life.

“Coming into the [[Stillness]] gives your nerves some much-needed [[rest]], away from the clamor and [[noises]] of the world. Once you begin to get the way of this [[exercise]] of coming into the [[Silence]], and you have learned to pay [[attention]] to your [[breathing]] and realize how important this life-giving [[force]] is, your nerves will begin to unwind and you [[feel]] rested in your mind. That is when you will have mastered a very important [[step]], and everything will [[unfold]] from there.
