Quieting The Mind

Become even a little more aware of yourself, you'll notice a constant reality:  our minds are always chattering...inner dialog, commentary, judgment..  Who is talking to whom, and why?  With our attention taken up by this nonstop inner chatter, we cannot hear our own inner wisdom.   As we become more relaxed and aware, we understand that the "normal" way the mind works is trance like, unfocused, and chaotic, whereas the quiet mind has qualities of sobriety, clarity, and steadiness.....Our senses are sharp, colors and sounds are vivid - everything seems eternally fresh and alive....mind expansion!  ...paraphrased from Russ Hudson.
