Engaging ourselves in the vision of God allows for an experience of relaxation of our minds.  When I pray asking God to change my thinking I am requesting a soft and gentle resting place for my head so it can be opened up to a new ideas.  If I am willing to let go to of my hard-headed perspective of needing to figure it out, I can allow for a soft landing of God’s perspective. The possibilities open to me when I am in the thick of my figuring it out become more and more closed.  I am less open to stepping outside my comfort zone.  I find myself quickly leaning into a default mode of shame and blame the longer the I spend in my hard-headedness.  For many years I was convinced it was entirely my responsibility to know things I did not know.  Sometimes I go into thinking this way again.  With a soft whisper God lets me know I am not alone and invites me to cast my burdens onto her.  He can transform my thinking and return it to me through my heart.  The possibilities of love emanating from my heart come to me when I take God up on the offer to place my head in the softness of her chest.
