-----------------------------------------------------------------------Patience, The Art of Intelligent Waiting
By Sara Childre
*/Adopt the pace of nature: Her secret is patience./* ~ Ralph Waldo
Emerson
Life unfolds in spite of our impatience. The misfortune of it is that
because of our impatience we dont fully appreciate the joy and beauty
of watching it unfold. And then theres all the stress and
discontentment along the way.
Especially today, with the rapid pace of modern life, lowering the level
of impatience could help reduce a lot of the worlds stress. It is
fortunate then that many of lifes experiences teach us that patience is
possible. The impatience of youth, for instance, at last becomes patient
because adulthood finally arrives. The impatience of the artist becomes
patient because art is created. Driving in traffic becomes patient
because the destination is finally reached.
Impatience, however, can have great costs. How much has impatience in
peoples lives led to things that could have been but never were: a true
friend lost because five minutes of conversation could not be spared;
poor marks in school because of a lack of attention to instructors and
instructions; immeasurable and uncountable opportunities gone by the
wayside because judgment, anger and anxiety among other byproducts of
impatience prevented people from ever knowing they existed.
*The Art of Intelligent Waiting*
Impatience, it is clear, is not an emotion that befalls only an
unfortunate few. It may be true that there is a lot of impatience in
some people, but there is a little impatience in all people.
Institute of HeartMath http://www.heartmath.org/ Founder Doc Childre
characterizes patience as the art of intelligent waiting waiting
with purpose, positive intention and a sincere belief that waiting is an
important element in the unfolding of all things.
Patience is the practice of maintaining a state of inner ease and

resilience when you are tempted to be impatient, Doc says, especially

when the mind wants to force results, rather than remain in flow.
Impatience is an invitation to frustration, shallow discernment, and
faulty choices. With a little heart-focused intention and practice, we
can effect a makeover by replacing impatience with patience the secret
sauce in the recipe for flow. When our hearts truly commit to becoming
patient, then our minds will cooperate, surrender their resistance and
take purposeful steps to manifest it.
Although we may not always consciously acknowledge when we have slipped
into impatience, this emotion certainly is not an involuntary one. There
is no reason we cannot opt to be patient in myriad situations throughout
our busy days. Here are some common examples:
* Encountering a neighbor, colleague or other acquaintance while on
our way to the office, store, a meeting or other place.
* Driving in stop-and-go traffic.
* Waiting on that seemingly endless spinning wheel on the computer screen.
* Listening to someone tell a long story about something that happened
to him or her.
* Fidgeting or clock-watching near the end of the work or school day.
Think of a time when you grew impatient in any of the situations above.
Did you tell yourself, I dont want to be here, or I dont have time
for this. How much effort would it have taken if you had gone to your
heart instead and told yourself, I have a choice. I dont have to be
impatient. I can make peace with this situation.
The greatest ideas in history often came to light in sudden bursts of
inspiration. Then patience prepared them for the world.
*Patience through Inner Ease*
Even individuals who meditate and use heart tools still may experience
some impatience, but these are practices that can diminish our
impatience to a mild or hardly perceptible feeling that we can simply
acknowledge and let go.
A primary goal of such practices should be to access your personal space
of inner ease, where choosing not to be impatient comes more naturally
and quickly.
The state of ease is a refuge, HeartMaths Doc Childre writes in his
booklet, /*The State of Ease*/
<http://www.heartmath.com/personal-use/state-of-ease.html>, a refuge
for action in our hearts and minds. In ease, instead of reacting in the
same old ways to the stresses and challenges of our harried world, we
can take a little time to connect with the qualities of our hearts
love, care and compassion and our hearts wisdom.
The state of ease can be achieved within minutes with HeartMaths
Inner-Ease Technique any time you feel at risk or are in the grip of
impatience. When you practice Inner-Ease on a regular basis, you can add
more flow to your life and greatly reduce episodes of impatience.
*Developing Patience (adapted from the Inner-Ease Technique)*
1. If you are feeling impatient, acknowledge your feelings as soon as
you sense that you are out of sync experiencing feelings such as
impatience, frustration, anxiety, being judgmental or mental gridlock.

2. Take a short time-out to do heart-focused breathing: breathe a

little slower than usual, and imagine you are breathing through your
heart or chest area.
3. As you do heart-focused breathing, imagine with each breath that you
are drawing in feelings of patience and inner ease.
4. Anchor these feelings of patience and inner peace in your heart. Do
this throughout your daily tasks, interactions and challenges.
Remember, the presence of sincere patience means the absence of so many
byproducts of impatience: negative emotions like anger, disappointment,
frustration and blame among others. Rather than draining yourself and
creating negative energy, you can increase your energy and resilience.
Sincere patience means approaching situations with a positive attitude,
care, understanding and genuine allowance.
The long lines at the store, traffic jams and slow computers wont
instantly disappear as you practice Inner Ease. However, the state of
inner ease helps us attune our mental and emotional nature to the most
reasonable and effective way for responding to each situation that life
brings us.
