I have used many of these techniques and they do work well and stuff does come up. However, I find the journey incredibly fun and fulfilling. I believe that each of us needs to connect to our passions as I discuss on my blog entry http://www.designingapassionatelife.com/2008/09/what-does-designing-a-passionate-life-mean.html. Living my passion provides me with the energy to find the time and take the actions necessary to move forward. I have found my passions are the clues to my purpose. It is exciting to live and be energized from this place. Paula Harvey I want to thank Jim for providing such great methods for finding your passions and purpose.

Ultimately yes, it comforts the soul, but people should be prepared for the turmoil that can arise when we go into stillness. For anyone feeling discouraged by the "gunk" that can come up, persevere! It ultimately takes you to a better place! I agree that we all need stillness.

I turned off the tv almost two years ago. It used to constantly be on in the background. Now, there is silence. I only turn it on now for a treat. When I drive, there is silence unless I treat myself to music or a cd that I can learn from. With the silence has come a deeper understanding of Self. My Self. Thank you for writing that it's not just about turning off the noise - it's about looking within at what the noise was blocking... Lee Ann Thank you for confirming my personal practices. I turned

Writer Erica Jong has commented, “Everyone has a talent. What is rare is the courage to nurture it in solitude and to follow the talent to the dark places where it leads.” Much writing and advice on enhancing creativity focuses on the individual. But creating happens in a social context, and often depends on input and inspiration from others.
