The Practice of Developing a Quiet Mind

Learn how affirmations work as a spiritual practice for healing, inner peace, and a quiet mind.

Discover a deeper approach rooted in discernment—recognizing reactive patterns and cultivating their higher opposites to restore balance and awaken steady inner presence.

What are the GIFTS OF GOD that interest you? Do you want them in the first place in your soul, in the core of your Being? Are there more important things that you want to achieve and acquire? Do we put the "remembrance if God " in the first place? What does it mean to "remember God?” Are you happy and with a Divine Purpose? More satisfaction in the Remembrance of God may come in forms that are internal realizations. God's plan for your awakening is for you to Forgive, which means to totally step out of your conditioned thought system. The Door of Forgiveness takes us into a different frequency of a Still Mind. A Quiet Mind has no woes and no external pressures. Peace is an "inside job" and we can have "everything we want" now.

“Send Coach John a message”I found a post that got me thinking about how much I need to find this. I'm talking about finding a “quiet mind.” It comes from Curious Minds (@CuriousMindsHub) where this post was shared:  “A quiet mind … A quiet mind learns better.  A quiet mind observes better.  A quiet mind acts better.”  Yep… I need a quiet mind more often.  I need MY mind to be quiet more often. I think back to my past, when I was a little kid at times. I knew my mind was quieter at that time because of the things going around me that my mind was trying to deal with and think about. Today - I feel that it's multiplied many times more than that. It gets me thinking (and planning) about finding ways to slow my mind down - especially at night while I'm trying to sleep. I want to keep looking for ways to simplify my life and mind for that matter. Be more in the moment when I can remember to do that. I want to make my habits and choices fit into this a bit more.

Vulnerability is often talked about as openness, but what if it's actually about capacity? In this episode, we continue our series on friendships by exploring what it really takes to share our inner world with one another in a meaningful way. Drawing from Dr. David Schnarch's work on the Four Points of Balance, we look at vulnerability not just as something we do, but as something we practice within relationship. From developing a Solid Flexible Self, to cultivating a Quiet Mind & Calm Heart, to practicing Grounded Responding and Meaningful Endurance, this episode unpacks how we stay rooted in ourselves while building deeper, more honest friendships. I invite us to rethink vulnerability, not as raw exposure, but as a lived, relational balance that shapes the way we show up in our friendships. Thought-provoking quotes: “For every one of us, vulnerability has told a story in our lives...not always directly, but through our experiences. Through the moments we've shared something real, and how those moments were received.” - Taylor Joy Murray “We all carry an inner world: a rich, complex web of thoughts, feelings, and experiences that shapes who we are. But expressing that inner world, learning how to put it into words and share it with someone else, takes time and practice.” - Taylor Joy Murray “Vulnerability isn't just about being open. It's about being present. It's about staying connected to yourself while also staying connected to someone else.” - Taylor Joy Murray Get Faith & Feeling's weekly resource email Watch this episode on YouTube Grab a copy of my book Stop Saying I'm Fine Connect with me on my website Find me on Instagram @__taylorjoy__ Key words: friendship, authentic relationships, emotional safety, community, vulnerability, loneliness, connection, intimacy, curiosity, authenticity, personal growth, spiritual formation, courage, compassion, self-awareness

Come Back to the Quiet Mind - Rev.Jieun

In this podcast, Bhante Sathi explains that a quiet, mindful mind helps us recognize and refine our inner qualities, much like a skilled person identifies and polishes a gem among ordinary rocks. Through meditation, we learn to observe our thoughts without identifying with all of them, consciously cultivating wholesome qualities like compassion while letting unhelpful patterns fade. He emphasizes that mindfulness extends beyond the cushion into daily life, where even mistakes and busy moments become opportunities to strengthen awareness, self-discipline, and inner stability.

In this special episode of Heart Haven Meditations, Tess Callahan speaks with author George Saunders abou the intersection of meditation, writing, and his Buddhist practice. Drawing from his new novel Vigil, Saunders reflects on attention, revision as a form of meditation, and the challenge of inhabiting another person's consciousness with honesty and care. Saunders emphasizes the value of cultivating “a quiet mind” in writing and in life. George Saunders is the author of thirteen books, including the novel Lincoln in the Bardo, which won the Man Booker Prize, and five collections of stories, including Tenth of December, which was a finalist for the National Book Award, and the recent collection Liberation Day.

By exploring the 'what-if mind,' we unpack how these relentless thoughts can spiral into overwhelming anxiety. The discussion centers on recognizing where our concerns originate, often rooted in our instinct to protect ourselves. While our minds are hardwired to anticipate dangers and potential problems, this survival mechanism can easily turn into an exhausting cycle of worry.The show emphasizes that these what-ifs can feel convincing and powerful, often painting scenarios that never materialize while neglecting positive outcomes. This pattern leads to a narrowed perspective, amplifying fear beyond reality. I stress the importance of not fighting or suppressing these thoughts but rather acknowledging their presence and gently guiding the mind back to the present—where our true power lies.Throughout the episode, I share strategies to help listeners identify and manage their what-if thoughts. The key is early recognition—skills that can be cultivated over time. I discuss the significance of labeling anxious thoughts as they arise, reframing them to acknowledge that they are simply future predictions and not current facts. This technique enables listeners to replace anxiety with grounding affirmations and return to their breath, thereby reclaiming their calm.#AnxietyRelief, #FutureAnxiety, #Overthinking, #WorryLess, #CalmYourMind, #WhatIfs, #AnxietySupport, #StressRelief, #AnxietyAwareness, #AnxietyTips, #EmotionalWellness, #QuietMind, #Mindfulness, #PresentMoment, #ReturnToNow, #BeHereNow, #BePresent, #MindfulLiving, #InTheMoment, #MindfulnessPractice, #CalmMind, #PeaceOfMind, #GuidedMeditation, #MeditationPractice, #BreathingExercises, #Breathwork, #Grounding, #Mantra, #Affirmations, #DailyMeditation, #MeditationJourney, #MindfulBreathing, #MentalHealth, #MentalHealthMatters, #SelfCare, #SelfLove, #PersonalGrowth, #InnerPeace, #Wellness, #Wellbeing, #Healing, #EndTheStigma, #AnxietyCoachesPodcast, #GinaRyan, #AnxietyCoach, #LifeCoach, #WellnessPodcast, #Coaching, #PodcastLife. #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This is a spoken guided meditation (no music) that commences with an open awareness and listening - accepting and allowing things to 'be' - to come and to go. It then progresses to an investigation of the thinking process to see and understand its empty, substanceless nature. This insight brings freedom, relaxation and inner peace.

#82: [Inside the Mind] Steven Yellin: Get Out of Swing Prison and Stop Violating the Rule Bank for an Effective, Repeatable Swing In this powerful and enlightening episode of The Scratch Golfer's Mindset Podcast, I'm joined by Steven Yellin, creator of the Fluid Motion Factor and one of the leading voices in understanding the neuroscience of performance in golf.  Together, we dive deep into the mind-body connection, the neurophysiological conditions required for a fluid golf swing, and why most golfers unknowingly sabotage their own performance—especially when it matters most. In today's episode, you'll learn: Why your prefrontal cortex (the CEO of your brain) needs to go offline during the swing What it really means to have a quiet mind before pulling the trigger How to check your “threshold of wholeness” with a simple shoulder test The truth about consistency and how to stop recreating what you already own What the “rules of the bank” are—and how violating them leads to inconsistent performance How to train like a pro by focusing on quality of space, not quantity of reps How the depth of your thoughts determines access to the body's deepest intelligence Whether you're an elite amateur or a weekend warrior, this episode will radically reshape how you think about practice, performance, and pressure. Steven's insights are a masterclass in mastering the mind-body connection and unlocking the swing you already have—on command. Get your pencils ready and start listening.  P.S. Curious to learn more about the results my clients are experiencing and what they say about working with me? Read more here. More About Steven Steve Yellin is a renowned golf instructor, author, and the creator of the Fluid Motion Factor, a revolutionary approach to optimizing performance in golf and other sports. With a background in both competitive golf and deep studies into the mechanics of peak performance, Yellin's work bridges the gap between technical training and the ability to access one's best swing under pressure. His Fluid Motion Factor system has helped elite golfers, including PGA and LPGA Tour players, unlock their natural ability by eliminating interference in their mind-body connection. Instead of relying on mechanical swing thoughts, Yellin teaches golfers how to tap into a fluid state of motion, leading to greater consistency and confidence on the course.

You're not broken—you're just violating the rules of the bank. Wholeness is a threshold state of mind where motion flows without interference. You don't need new swing thoughts—you need a new relationship with the ones you already have. Practicing the swing isn't as powerful as practicing access to your best swings. Key Quotes: You're not recreating the swing—you're trying to access what you already own. When the prefrontal cortex goes offline, the swing goes online. Do less. The most powerful message I can give any golfer. It's not what you're thinking. It's how you're thinking it. Fear is the killer in a golf swing.

One of the trickiest aspects of new technology is that it can sometimes destabilize parts of our lives that we didn't even realize existed and are important. In this episode, Cal talks about one such idea: the quiet mind. Our constant phone usage is eliminating this critical cognitive state, and by doing so is diminishing our humanity. Cal makes the case for the importance of the quiet mind, and then gives concrete ideas for cultivating it in a distracted world. He also answers questions from listeners and reviews the five books he read in June.Below are the questions covered in today's episode (with their timestamps). Get your questions answered by Cal!

Listen for the place inside that feels like, ‘I have', instead of ‘I want', by: Hearing the thought/desire  Immediately shifting to feeling Silent-Love View every desire today as an alarm reminding you to BE Love, again.  Reminding you to RELAX, again.  To lower your shoulders, again. To smile, again.  In this way, each desire is immediately dissolved in Love— the formless essence of both the thought and material form.  Love is the formless essence of everything, including you, and when you're aware as That, you lack nothing. You are already whole and when you're conscious of It, you project a wholly and holy abundant world. As desire disappears, fulfillment appears. Be still in This. Trust. Smile. I Love you!

Consciousness is mind at rest." -Rupert Spira "When the mind becomes still, the world begins to disappear (becomes unreal)." -Robert Adams "You're looking for beauty outside of yourself. You have to learn that you are the beauty. You are the joy. You are the flowers that you enjoy so much. You are the trees and the ocean and the sky and the mountains. It's all coming from you.  If you really realize that you are that, would you run around seeking things? Everything that you want is within you. You are that. Even relationships. You look for relationship with someone so they can make you happy, so you can enjoy their company, so you can love them, so you can be with them. But I can assure you that within yourself is a greater love, a greater joy, a greater peace than you can ever find anywhere else. True. You've got it all. There is nothing, no thing that you need from the outside. And nothing can ever happen to you, because there is no one to make it happen, except yourself." -Robert Adams in a talk June 1991 "The soul is perfect; what can you improve? You have everything; what is there to gratify? Aum will seek out the man of contemplation; Reveal to him the wonder of great secrets." –The Book of Ashes, Dadaji “If you want to see God, kill desires. ... When you have a desire for something, don't act on it and it will go away. If you desire to drink this cup of tea, don't, and the desire for it will go away.” -Maharajji
