“When we make quiet time to sit – in meditation, in reflection, or in prayer, it creates space for magic. Time spent quietly inside yourself exploring your own thoughts does not cut you off from everything else, and can have the opposite effects.
In the quiet, introspective moments we are most likely to get flashes of inspiration, and connection with that which goes beyond our everyday thinking.
If you have a notion of ‘higher self’ or of the voice of the spirit within you, this is when such parts of yourself are most likely to be visible to you. For those who seek communion with deity or spirit, the process of turning inwards is the process that invites the Divine.
When you turn inwards to reflect on the world, and your experience of it, you become more able to fully engage with the world. We need both, and we need to explore these things as a shifting dance, and interchange. We bring the world into ourselves, and we bring ourselves into the world, and at each stage, reflection gives us the means to do so.”
