Quieting The Mind Quotes

“It is the mind’s job to protect and take care of you, to solve your problems and make sure you’re safe. So, if you feel a surge of emotional upset, it moves into action, trying to help, looking for the source of the upset—for the problems—and generating solutions.

Under these conditions, the key to getting the mind to go on standby—to stilling the mind’s compulsive thinking—lies in recognizing, accepting, and working with the emotional upset. Once you address the emotional undercurrent, once it is no longer churning inside you, the mind can switch off and quite literally leave you in peace.”
― Sharon Rose Summers, Meditation – Deep and Blissful: How to Still The Mind’s Compulsive Thinking, Let Go of Upset, Tap Into the Juice and Meditate at a Whole New Level

“By quieting externally, you gain the space internally. Life is a flow - it goes on. Good or bad, it will always change.”
― Amit Ray, Peace Bliss Beauty and Truth: Living with Positivity

“When we meditate, we experience the space between our thoughts. We feel unconstrained by boundaries. There are no defined edges. There is no sense of space,

Characterized by an amorphous emptiness, it nonetheless seems to contain everything we need. It is a wonderful experience without wonders. Nothing happens there , but it isn't boring. There is no one there and nothing to see or do. Our return to conscious awareness leaves us more relaxed and content. And unlike an expensive vacation, it costs us nothing but a little time.”
― Joseph Goldsmith
