Last week I was visiting my good friend Mikala St.
Germain, whom many of you
know. Micki, as I call her, lives out on the prairie in northern Montana just a
few miles from the Canadian border.
Micki had some work to do late one afternoon while I was there. So I decided
to just relax and take a welcome break from my normally busy schedule. I went
into the backyard which looks out over miles and miles of open prairie. It was
just before dusk and the sun was bathing the prairie in an bright, otherworldly
golden-amber glow.
As I sat there immersed in the peaceful energy of the place, I was struck by
the stillness, The wind had grown calm. Several deer were dancing across the
prairie horizon. The stillness was broken only by a coyote howling in the
distance. And then it was still again.
Basking in the glow of the sunset, I marveled at the stillness engulfing me.
I felt a deep peace and sense of oneness with All That Is. I can't describe it
with just these words. But it was so powerful, and I could feel the stillness of
the prairie settling into my being.
It felt so good, so very good. And then I realized how much power there is in
the stillness. And how seldom most of us experience that power.
Here’s Joseph.
Chief Joseph
There is such power within you–power most of you have never, in
your wildest imaginings, dreamt of. It is the power of All That Is. In your
busy, hectic, harried world, you seldom have time to plumb the depths, if you
will, of that power. Often because you simply refuse to take the time from your
busy lives to get in touch with that power within.
You can do that best by being in the stillness. Now we realize many of you do
not have the opportunity our dear John did to simply bask in the stillness of a
place far removed from the distractions and distresses of your modern culture.
But you all--ALL of you--have the opportunity to find that stillness on the
prairie within your own being. Spend a few minutes--it doesn't have to be a long
time--each day simply being, and BE-ing, in the stillness.
You can do this by simply doing whatever takes you away from the
"busyness" of your lives and puts you into the stillness. Whatever
works for you is fine.
One exercise we highly recommend is to get yourself into a quiet place where
you will not be disturbed or distracted. Be in a comfortable physical position.
And then simply focus on your breathing. Focus on your breath in and your breath
out--breath in, breath out, breath in, breath out.
Practice that for a few days, and you will be amazed at the results. You will
find power in the stillness. You will find YOUR power in the stillness. In the
stillness you will rediscover your connection to your soul. In the stillness you
will find the divine within--the goddesses, the gods you all truly are.
In the stillness you will be reborn into the glory and grandeur of YOU--the
glory and grandeur you have long forgotten.

Since 1992, John Cali has been communicating with a
non-physical entity called Joseph. In one of his many physical lifetimes, this
spirit was incarnated as the legendary Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce tribe in
what is now the state of Oregon in the northwestern USA. These messages are a
blend of information from Joseph, other spirits in the "Joseph group,"
and John.
John can be reached by email here
or through their website (http://www.greatwesternpublishing.org).
Private readings with Chief Joseph are available here: http://www.greatwesternpublishing.org/rdg/readings.html
