Meditation: Just Let It Happen
If you think your mind races in too many directions and you cannot quiet it, that’s okay. If you feel like even the word Meditation is from another whole vocabulary, that’s okay. If you feel sad, disconnected from a calm center, and cannot imagine slowing down or it feels scary, that’s okay. There are as many ways to meditate as there are ways to see the world, and that is more than okay. The funny thing is, it is not about perfecting a practice it is about practicing to be. Just to be, to be okay with all that is. That is not apathy nor is it complacency, it is learning to let go of the tension that fights against what is and then redirecting that awareness towards what we choose to. Every bit of energy you expend in fighting against what is can be redirected towards what you wish to instigate. Change comes after awareness is birthed. Awareness is birthed in a quiet space, letting it happen is like allowing a plant to grow. Allow.
How do we do this? If you are new to Meditation, let go of all of your notions, the should’s and the could’s and sit still, use any tools you like from sound currents, mantras, pranayamas (breathing practices), mudras (finger/hand configurations), gazing at a candle flame or simply closed eyes. Notice your physical body, settle in and find your breath. No expectations, no wild ideas. Be with yourSelf. Let that arrive to the surface for you. And like we have heard, everywhere you go, there you are. Be there, be here. Be.
Yoga Nidra, a form of deep Yogic “sleep”, will relax your nervous system and often we can slide deeply into Meditation after this easily or some of you might prefer to slide into sleep. Either way it is physiologically, physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually relaxing, stabilizing, and most of all restorative. You can try it on the link above now or on my website under Offerings.
Warm wishes to each of you, let’s keep holding each other!
Denise
