When Mind is quiet,
and Heart is at Peace,
what remains is Consciousness.
Mind moves constantly,
naming, judging,
remembering, planning.
It replays the past,
imagines the future,
reacts to its own thoughts.
When Mind is still,
quiet, open,
movement slows.
You remain.
Heart moves as emotion,
joy, fear, grief, Love.
When Heart is at Peace,
emotion no longer pulls,
Stillness appears.
You remain.
What remains
when Mind and Heart are still
is not thought,
not emotion,
not Body,
not Breath.
You.
Silent.
Spacious.
Awake.
This is Consciousness,
not achieved,
not earned,
only revealed
when all else settles.
You cannot create it.
You cannot lose it.
You can only notice
what is always here.
When Mind stops
and Heart is at Peace,
what remains
is Consciousness.
And that
is what you are.
