“Sean, my Yogic Irish dairy farmer, explained it to me this way. ‘Imagine that the universe is a great spinning engine,’ he said. ‘You want to stay near the core of the thing – right in the hub of the wheel – not out at the edges where all the wild whirling takes place, where you can get frayed and crazy. The hub of calmness – that’s your heart. That’s where God lives within you. So stop looking for answers in the world. Just keep coming back to that center and you’ll always find peace.'”
from Eat, Pray, Love
by Elizabeth Gilbert
‘The hub of calmness – that’s your heart.’ Do you meditate? Journal? Sit sometimes and calm your thoughts? It is in this place of stillness that you will find the Self of Self Love. I love this model of the Universe as a spinning engine. You want to avoid the outer edges where the craziness is. Here is where the messages bombard you and they have nothing to do with who you are at your center. Find a way to get centered and you will learn to quiet those other voices.
