Meditation, It's easy as 1..2..3..

I do not sit down in front of my laptop and ask myself, “so what are we blogging about today?” I always meditate first and wait for the message to come to me. Sometimes I get several but one always seems more urgent than the others. Other times I get nothing except the instruction to ‘just start typing’. Now and again, I am asked to write on topics that are quite out there and under normal circumstances would have landed me a visit to the place with padded walls but at the end of the day, I always write on what I am instructed.

So today we speak about meditation and I was quite happy because it’s one of my favourite topics to blog about.

Earlier as I sat for meditation, thoughts came, fast and furious at first until they quieted down to a mere trickle. I felt the connection to my Inner Self and was able to lock in for the duration of time I had set for the session.

There are some folks who complain that they cannot meditate, they do not feel anything, their mind keeps wandering, they cannot still their thoughts. It leaves them feeling more stressed and frustrated than before they sit to attempt meditation and so, before long they give up the practice completely.

I say to these persons, just sit. Find a comfortable seat and sit.

The thoughts will come, let them come.
The body will itch, let it itch.
The nose will decide that this is the best time to sneeze, let the nose do what it does and you just sit.
Soon all the thoughts will pass, the itches will be scratched and the nose will be sneezed out all while you remain seated.

There is a place inside of you where, if you stay long enough, you eventually feel a connection. For me, I feel it somewhere between my navel and my last pair of ribs. Some call it the solar plexus chakra, the seat of our intuition.

That place is a place of stillness and peace. Like the mighty lighthouse, it shines its light through all the turbulences of our stormy lives, guiding us home. It emanates love and connectivity to the One Consciousness. You will know it when you feel it.

So, find a seat and get comfortable and let the love unfold.
