Meditate on Meditation

They tell us that it’s the key, the secret to a calm life and a more freeing outlook. If it’s the answer to our lives, why then do we tiptoe around it? Finding excuses not too, don’t have time, too busy, I can’t sit still long enough, tried it once but…

If you have a regular practice then GO YOU! I am humbled.

But for the rest of us that either do not or know they should do more but have quite managed to balance the dedication 20 minutes yogi Dhyana. There are a few things you can do to help bring it into your life.

Moreover I have found for myself it is acceptance. Yesterday morning I meditated like a pro. Straight back sound breath. Honoured and respected myself, nature the beautiful tree outside my apartment. I felt bliss roll over me and I felt ready to start my day with positive intentions.

This morning however I got up late, had to throw myself together and out of the door in about 10 minutes. No time for sitting cross legged in my scared space. So I will catch my mediation space where I can today, in the bathroom before a meeting or maybe I’ll make the time for a walk some place or before bed. Then work towards meditating like a pro again tomorrow, and the day after that…

If you can’t sit still try a mindfulness walk, or join sporting community – moving meditation and all that. There are a ton of apps and you tube channels that can help you out it you can’t make it to a studio.
