Devoting to a meditation practice reaps the highest rewards I’ve ever experienced. Sitting on a cushion, walking in the woods, gazing at the ocean ~ a practice comes in many forms, but time alone, emptying hamster-wheel aggravations, worries, conflicts…anything redundant and mindless…this quieting is luxuriously restorative.
Understanding that our outer world perfectly reflects our inner state is what we need to bring us back into the present moment and connect with stillness. Knowing all we have to do is let go and allow what will be, to be…without judgment or control is the hardest thing and the easiest thing to do.
When I don’t meditate, I’m anxious, reactive, uncentered, and less trusting that everything will be just fine. I struggle, feel depleted, am problem-focused, and less empathetic. Miss Crankypants.
When I do sit in stillness, even for ten minutes, this is what happens:
* My natural rhythms of eating, sleeping, and being productive emerge and I feel energized.
* Making healthy choices (nutritionally, physically, and emotionally) becomes effortless.
* I see the world as resilient, miraculous, and peaceful.
* Incredibly talented, bright, and successful friends, creatives, innovators, optimists, and solution-creators enter my sphere.
* I am increasingly recognized financially for my contribution and value I help create.
I don’t know who said this, but it’s so true: If you can’t find five minutes to meditate, then you need an hour.
How can I help you…begin to still your mind, shift you from struggle into ease?
