Quiet Time Meditation
Auf deutsch - Zeit der Stille
By
Susan Helene Kramer
Ah, blessed quiet time. Time for Self.
Time when the outer world
can be set aside, while we talk over our problems and dreams with that most
intimate listening ear—our soul.
Quiet time—time when the
sounds surrounding us do not intrude. Our time to listen to
the eternal sound emanating from within—reaching our quieted mind out of our
stillness. The Holy Vibration—the Holy Spirit—known also as the
primordial sound, Om or Aum, Amen, The Word, Holy Naam—speaking to us with an ever-present voice of
constancy—ever with us through all the changing events in our lives.
If we are distressed or upset,
by taking some quiet time, we can reach the meeting point with our ever-present
and resonant companion—lending us a soothing comfort and stability in
constancy.
The Holy Vibration is the only constancy I have found in my life. People and
relationships change. Objects come and go. My body is aging and I need to write
notes to myself more often. But throughout all of this, the past 20 years I
have had an underlying comfort and constancy in my communion with the Holy
Vibration's soothing audible sound. During all my ups and downs this audible
vibration has ever been with me—never far from my consciousness when I give
myself the few quiet moments needed to tune in to it in my own head.
I hear the comforting
vibration as a constant and soothing wind that resides right within my
head—seemingly under the crown of my skull. Listening very carefully, I have
ascertained that this soothing melody is present no matter what my thoughts
are—it underlies all. As it underlies all and never leaves me—but rather fills
me with joy as I tune in—it is the companion I choose to be with in my times of
most intense emotion.
To make the most of quiet
time and develop this most intimate relationship with the Holy Vibration
requires a period of initiation. A beginning. By
sitting in a quiet meditation pose or lying in a deep relaxation pose—just
begin listening for your inner companion—seemingly residing right under the top
of your skull. Listen. Listen. Listen. Then, hold fast to the soft melody.
As you would listen to the
rain or wind outside your window and draw in its soothing comfort—listen
closely to the soft wind blowing within yourself. And the more often that you
listen to the Holy Vibration, the more resonant it becomes, erasing out the
interference of negative thinking—which is enough reason to listen to the inner
instructor!
My blessings are ever with
you for making contact with, and practicing being in the presence of the Holy
Vibration, your holy Self. Through quiet time spent in communion with the
ever-constant Holy Vibration within, daily living is invigorated.
Zeit der Stille
Zeit der Stille
Zeit ohne äussere Betriebsamkeit,
Zeit, während der wir mit dem
innern Ohr, unserer Seele,
den Gedanken und Träumen lauschen.
Zeit der Stille
Zeit ohne äussere Betriebsamkeit
Zeit, um den leisen ewigen Tönen
in unserm Innern zu lauschen,
unsere Seele nährend aus der Stille.
Das heilige Schwingen
- der Heilige Geist,
die Ur-Stimme Om, Aum,
Amen,
das Wort, das heilige Naam,
uns ansprechend als Stimme des Vertrauens,
immer mit uns, bei uns,
in allen Wechselfällen des Lebens.
Wenn wir leiden und nicht
bei uns sind,
nehmen wir uns Zeit, Zeit
der Stille,
und suchen unseren Wesenskern,
uns stärkend durch Linderung und Trost.
Sitzend in Meditation oder
liegend in entspannter Haltung:
höre auf deinen inneren Begleiter,
er scheint in dir zu leben.
Horche, horche, horche... und
behalte die sanfte Melodie.
So wie du lauschest
dem Wind oder Regen und ihrem lindernden Trost,
so lausche der sanften Stimme in dir.
Je mehr du der innern Stimme horchst,
umso vernehmlicher wird sie,
auslöschend die Trübung durch schwere Gedanken.
Das Vertrauen auf deinen inneren Führer
gibt dir Kraft und Ruhe.
Mein Segen ist
immer mit dir
bei deinen Versuchen,
deine innere Stimme, dein heiliges
Selbst,
zu vernehmen.
Om, aum, amen.
