Make it your own (DW#468)
One of the most inspiring and heart warming moments for me is when a reader takes a suggestion and makes it their own.
A young lady wrote and shared that when she read about the six second pause, she realised that it was the perfect amount of time to remember God and His most beloved ones.
She said that she will be using the six second pause to say this:
Allah, Mohammed, Ali, Fatima, Hassan and Hussain (May the peace and Blessings of God be on all of them).
It reminded me that when I am feeling angry, unforgiving and my heart is constricted, I remember the most beautiful names of God to ground myself:
Ya Rahman, Ya Raheem, Ya Karim, Ya Salaam
O All Compassionate, O All Merciful, O Most Generous and Noble, O the Source of Peace
If we adapt the pause to something that is meaningful for us, we are MUCH more likely to use it.
So go ahead and develop a mantra of your own. What helps you to calm down and get back on track? Practice using it frequently so that it becomes second nature.
Powerful stuff!
