When You Need a Vacation From the World

So much of the time, we try to satisfy the appetite of the soul with the things of the world. We fill ourselves with relationships, and we satisfy the cravings of our desires. We fill ourselves with position and external things of the world, but yet, in the same way empty calories leave you unsatisfied, we find that the soul still feels an emptiness inside. It still feels a craving, a hunger for something deeper.

Contentment merely means that the belly of the soul is full. It wants nothing because it feels so satisfied with the real substance of the soul.

Take a deep breath now and leave your world. Move to the edge of the world where there is nothing physical. No sound, no drama, no responsibilities to uphold. Just let them all go as you settle into a place of silence and stillness.

In front of you is a radiant sunlight of spiritual energy, full of all the beautiful things of the soul—love, light, peace. Allow yourself to fill yourself with this light. Let the rays of peace and serenity enter into you and breathe them in fully. Fill the belly of the soul with the vibrations of pure, peaceful spiritual energy. With each breath, you savour and take in even more peace.

And knowing that love is what the universe is made of, breathe in that energy of gentleness. Radiating from this light, that energy of love, connection, belonging, and feel yourself connected to the whole of humanity. Breathing as one as we take in this energy of pure spiritual love.

Notice how light you begin to feel, how weightless, as if there is no gravity. And allow yourself to soak and bathe and take in the energy of pure joy. What does that feel like? To completely fill the belly of the soul with the energy of joy. See this light pouring into you, creating a warm inner smile in the heart.

If I want to experience contentment and satisfaction, every now and then I have to learn to step away from the world and move into silence and stillness. I need to take a vacation away from the world, so I can go and fill the belly of the soul with the real, eternal, imperishable, beautiful qualities of the spirit that give me a feeling of fullness, complete satisfaction, and a quiet joy that makes me feel as if all is well in my world and is only getting better.
