Stillness without Fixity

I set aside some hours every day--the more hours the better--to sit upright in the lotus posture. It is not like other time in the day, when I am unconsciously doing this, that, and the other. It is a time devoted to conscious allowing, as opposed to unconscious doing.

How do these special hours influence the other hours of the day? The answer depends on how successful I am in realizing my intention not to do, but to allow. Being an intellectual worrier by nature, more often than not I am unsuccessful. When I am successful, what carries over into everyday activities is a sense of stillness without fixity.
