I had an interesting revelation about meditating the other day. I stopped doubting I could do it\u00a0and I trusted it would work. I was imagining going down a country road waiting, looking and\u00a0hoping for a connection and then I was on the road. I noticed a shift in my awareness. I didn\u2019t\u00a0stay long cause my thoughts started evaluating what just happened. But it happened. And I\u2019ll\u00a0take it.<\/p>\n
When I was growing up back in the 70\u2019s and 80\u2019s, we were taught you had to meditate in a\u00a0certain way, at a certain time, every day for a certain amount of time. Well that just seemed\u00a0impossible from the get go. Fortunately the expectation for meditating is not that rigid these\u00a0days. But old habits die hard.<\/p>\n
I have struggled to just relax and fit meditating into my day. It has always seemed like I have to\u00a0give something up. Like I am depriving myself. When in truth it really is opening up to receiving\u00a0so much more. When we quiet our minds and get comfortable with the silence, that is when the\u00a0connection happens. It is so frustrating to me that I make this direct line of communicating with\u00a0Source (God) so hard. Alas it is a practice and I am committed to doing some sort of meditation\u00a0daily.<\/p>\n
I am grateful to teachers like: Dr. Wayne Dyer, Neale Donald Walsch and Mary Morrissey who\u00a0stress the importance of the intention to meditate rather than the technique.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
