Spiritual Contemplation: Helping Us Remember -- Gestalt Therapy, Los Angeles





		In order to listen we must first be silent. --- Brother David Stendl-Rast *CONTEMPLATION* The work begins first with the act of quieting down and settling in. We live such busy, hectic lives that is often difficult to hear our own voices in the midst of all the static of the world. For those of us who are not used to tuning into our own deepest experience, we will be at a loss when we first turn inward. We will not know what to hold onto and we will grasp at anything to keep from being still. And yet it is precisely in this place of perceptive stillness that our greatest chance of self-discovery (through the grace of God) lies. We must learn to bear the silence, the stillness, the not-doing. We must learn to listen. We must learn to feel. The place we begin is the place we most often neglect: the feeling sensations in our own physical bodies.
