“Are you saying I should practice stillness?” Very often we think that if we practice stillness or presence or silence in meditation or another deliberate spiritual practice, we can somehow replicate that stillness or presence in everyday life. We think we can bring it into our relationships, so that when we’re triggered we can remain still or we can remain silent or remain present. But this is an error—you cannot impose your spiritual practice on life.
