Transcript
00:00 Welcome everybody to another episode from Inside Treasures. My name is Phoebus and I love to challenge myself and those around me for the purpose of growth. I’m here to help you to heal, to change
and to grow. This episode is about stillness and expression.

00:18 Expression and stillness. Which one is better? Which one should win? Let’s find out. Everything in this world works in cycles.

00:28 We got the day, the night, the different seasons, the year, going after time as a time, the earth revolving around itself and around the sun. The cycles. Things go in cycles, things are in duality
and things swing.

00:42 Okay, so what does that have to do with you? What does that have to do with your ability to express yourself in this world? The thing that I have found through working a lot about finding my
stillness and finding the peace within and finding a space for me to stand so I can be alright and I can heal, I can change and I can grow, has been that there was too much going on for me on the
outside, on the side of expression, expression of other people into my life and my personal expression into the world. Because there was just like expressing, expressing, expressing or repressing,
Repressing, repressing, which is a form of expression, by the way. Repression is an expression, just an internalized way of expressing.

01:29 So it’s impressing, impressing, repressing, expressing the pressing of something. The something of what? Of me into the world or of the world, the outside, into the me. So a lot of times we see that
we have this expression, expression, expression.

01:50 Women can be a little more expressive at times. Men can be a bit less or in different ways. But we all express that there’s too much going on.

01:59 People love to chat, chat, chat, chat, chat, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk. But they’re not often listening, listening, listening. Both of these again, expression, impression.

02:10 But also at the same time, there’s something different. There’s a place and a space within you that not match has to happen externally or internally. In that place, in that space, we find stillness.

02:37 Having found stillness, we can notice that even when things are noisy outside, we can maintain that course within us. Even when our mind shouts at us, we can be at peace. Even when there’s so much
noise outside, we can be centered.

02:55 Even there’s so much going on and so much demand from people outside of us and circumstances, we can be at peace. Is this always working? Is it always perfect? No, but that such place exists, and I
feel certain that most people have experienced this at some point in their life. Think now into a moment where you we’re able to experience Peace and stillness, despite the circumstances outside of
you or inside of you.

03:27 That is a place that we don’t necessarily express. It’s a place where we be in the place where we are and we be in and through the world. We don’t necessarily have to make much noise.

03:47 We can stay there. That doesn’t mean let’s all abandon everything. Let’s all move into a place where there’s peace and stillness and we can just sit around and do nothing and everything will fall on
our laps.

04:03 I’m against that idea. My invitation for you is that idea of stillness and peace as a possibility that I’m sure you have found in your life here and there. But as a way of moving through the world in
which this can be a practice and it can be more habitual.

04:22 There’s the idea of meditation and there’s the idea of taking time. And this idea of removing oneself from the world or from yourself or from your habits or from the things that you really love and
you’re passionate about, from your work or from your family. So there is that stillness and there is disconnection of moving things apart in order to allow the dust to settle.

04:50 That place is a magical place, but that place is not a place to stay there forever. You have been following what I’ve said of talk about the expression and the lack of expression, from doing to
being, from being into doing. It’s the collapse of the two worlds.

05:20 It’s the unification of expression and stillness. We think that if we are to be so still and if we are to go so away and go so much within, that we be so far away and so disconnected from the world
that it will be kind of like impossible to re engage with the world that the world won’t be able to reach us. That can happen.

05:42 Bypassing. Look at me. I have peace and stillness and I move through the world while the rest of the people are so noisy inside their own heads.

05:52 That’s a very interesting place to stand. But that creates distance, that creates disconnect. When I speak about finding stillness, it is about our ability to connect not only with ourselves, the
divine, the spiritual, whatever it is that you adhere to, I personally stand on that.

06:11 But it’s also about ability to connect with the world, to connect with the people around us. So that stillness is not so. It becomes isolated in a silo away from the world.

06:28 That can create a step that is useful for us to be able to progress and to engage and to grow through the practice. And like all these things that can be useful going like on a retreat, these things
can be useful. But what becomes important for me is now my ability to build your ability to come from that place of stillness and expression as you enter the world, to influence the world, to bring
that stillness from within out in a way that you were expressing.

07:05 In certain ways, you internalized, you became present. And now you start to express, but with more intention, with more power, with more love that is contagious in such a way that it actually moves
the people around you and it moves the world. It shifts as you move through the world because the way that you are expressing is far more potent.

07:31 It’s far more powerful, more intentional, more clear. The blade, it’s just a lot sharper. And it has an ability and the capacity to cut through a lot of the noise.

07:43 And as you’re moving through the world, you’re influencing the world. And as you’re influencing the world, the world starts to influence you. Sometimes I feel I get too serious about the things that
I talk about.

08:00 But that is because of the reason that I’m passionate about the things that I’m talking about. I often notice what I said. We’re too much in expression.

08:08 We’re lacking the depth and the power to express. Many times, finding stillness is a way to call yourself home, to come from your center. But not just so you stay there, just so you re engage into
the world.

08:21 And you’re far more effective and potent into the way that you move for yourself, the way that you express, and in the way that it touches other people and how other people begin to touch you.
There’s a different depth, there’s a different layer. So if you’re interested into developing a greater capacity to enter your stillness, to be more effective into the world that you create, into how
you put yourself out there and how you express yourself, look at the link below.

08:50 Finding stillness is the course I’ve built that’s specifically designed into the way of which you can call yourself home and into the way of which you can start expressing yourself through the world
with power, with trust, with love and care. Thank you, my friend, for tuning in to another episode from Inside Treasures. My name is Phippus.
