Finding your still place. Look here.
How to find the center of ourselves, to find purpose and meaning. To find the vertical axis of the axis Mundi and stand at its center.
All of the contemplative traditions talk about slothing off the outer garment of the world to find the essential Self.
The hows are many, I can recommend this one linked below.

Start close in. by David White.
Start close in, don’t take the second step, or the third.
Start with the first thing close in,
The step you don’t want to take.
Start with the ground you know,
The pale ground beneath your feet,
Your own way of starting the conversation.
Start with your own questions,
Give up on other people’s questions, don’t let them smother something simple.
To find another’s voice,
Follow your own voice, wait until that voice becomes a private ear
listening to another.
Start right now take a small step you can call your own,
Don’t follow someone else’s heroics,
Be humble and focused,
Start close in, don’t mistake that other for your own.
Start close in, don’t take the second step, or the third,
Start with the first thing close in,
The step you do not want to take.
David White.
