In our quest to manifest our dreams and desires, we often turn to prayers, wishes, affirmations, and statements of intent. These are powerful tools for speaking to the Universe, sending out vibrations of hope, intention, and purpose. But have you ever paused to ask yourself: are you also listening?
The practice of stillness, as much as we are able to achieve it, allows us to shift from speaking to the Universe to truly hearing its messages. This is where the magic happens—where our connection deepens and our understanding expands. Truly, this is the power of stillness.
The Essence of Stillness: Listening vs. Silent
It’s no coincidence that the words listen and silent are composed of the same letters, yet their meanings are profoundly different. To listen is an act of openness, while to be silent is to create the sacred space necessary for listening. Together, they form a powerful partnership, allowing us to attune to the Universe’s whispers of guidance, support, and love.
When we embrace a daily practice of stillness, we create the opportunity for:
Processing and Decompressing: Stillness gives the mind space to release the accumulation of everyday worries, stresses, and noise.
Tuning into Your Inner GPS: Our feelings and emotions act as an internal guidance system. When we allow ourselves to feel, we gain clarity on what aligns with our higher self and what needs healing.
Awareness of Subconscious Patterns: By becoming aware of negative thoughts and the emotions they bring, we can address them and prevent subconscious sabotage.
This is the power of stillness—to create clarity, healing, and alignment within ourselves and with the Universe.
The Universe Listens to Feelings
Many of us believe the Universe hears our prayers, affirmations, and statements of intent. While these are helpful, it’s not our words that the Universe truly listens to—it’s our feelings. The emotions behind our intentions are the real energy that resonates with the Divine.
When affirmations, prayers, or intentions calm your emotions and bring you peace, they allow you to shift into a vibrational state where the Universe can flow through your subconscious blocks. The stillness of your emotions becomes the bridge for Divine guidance. The power of stillness lies in its ability to connect you with this vibrational state.
The Sacred Power of “Be Still”
Although I consider myself spiritual rather than religious, one of my favourite biblical quotes is:
“Be still, and know that I am God.” (Psalm 46:10)
This verse carries profound wisdom. I interpret it to mean: Be still, calm your mind, and trust that whatever you need, the Divine will provide it in ways you cannot yet perceive. Trust and allow.
Stillness invites us to surrender our limited perceptions and align with the infinite possibilities of the Universe. In the present day, when distraction and noise overwhelm us, this practice becomes even more essential. It is in the power of stillness that we unlock the ability to receive Divine wisdom and guidance.
Stillness and Wellness
Have you ever noticed that the word stillness contains illness? I believe this is no accident. A life lacking in stillness often leads to physical and emotional imbalance. By cultivating a state of stillness, we allow the body and mind to realign, to heal, and to connect with the vibration of wellness.
Interestingly, I see the “ST” in stillness as shorthand for Silent Transmission. When we allow ourselves to be silent and still, we enable a deeper communion with the Universe through vibration and energy. The power of stillness is in its ability to create a space where this silent transmission occurs.
The Power of the Switchwords: Be-Still
As someone deeply connected to the energy of words, I often use a specific Switchword phrase to prepare myself for meditation: Be-Still.
The Switchword BE reminds us to be peaceful and well, unaffected by negativity.
The Switchword STILL encourages us to stop worrying, focus, and connect with the Divine.
These words, repeated in my mind, calm my emotions and help me achieve a deeper state of inner stillness. If you’re curious about the power of switchwords, I invite you to explore them further in my book: Speak Yourself Happy: Use the Magic of Switchwords to Create Your Ideal Life.
Why Stillness is the Key to Manifestation
For those of us who are passionate about the law of attraction and manifestation, stillness is not just a practice; it’s a necessity. It allows us to align our vibration with the desires we wish to manifest. Without inner stillness, the noise of our fears, doubts, and worries can overshadow the signals we send to the Universe.
When we practice stillness:
We process and release the emotional static that blocks our desires.
We hear the Universe’s guidance, often felt as subtle feelings or intuitive nudges.
We attune to the vibration of trust, allowing the Divine to work in ways beyond our comprehension.
This is the power of stillness—to become a clear channel for the Divine to work through you.
A Daily Practice:
Cultivating a daily practice of stillness doesn’t need to be complicated. Here’s a simple way to get started:
Set an Intention: Begin with a few deep breaths and silently repeat the words Be-Still.
Create a Sacred Space: Find a quiet spot where you won’t be disturbed. Perhaps light a candle and focus on the flame to help tune into the power of stillness.
Observe Your Breath: Focus on the natural rhythm of your breathing, allowing your mind to settle.
Listen and Allow: Release any effort to control your thoughts. Simply observe and listen.
In the Stillness, We Are Heard
The practice of stillness is a gift we give to ourselves and the Universe. It’s where we find clarity, connection, and the peace that passes understanding. When we embody stillness, we unlock the door to Divine communication and allow the Universe to work miracles through us.
Remember the profound wisdom of Psalm 46:10: “Be still, and know that I am God.” This statement carries an eternal truth—when we calm our minds and trust in the Divine, we open ourselves to infinite possibilities.
In the stillness, we are heard, we are guided, and we are loved.
