Free Yourself from Yourself

Meditation fans the flame within us so that it merges with the larger universal flame of the Divine.

I should make it clear that meditation is any method that one uses to connect to the Divine.
If it is organized religion, so be it.
If it is walking in nature, (which is a good one, by the way), so be it.
If it is doing mindless chores like washing dishes, so be it.

There is no wrong or right way to connect with Infinite Source and the sooner we acknowledge this to be the case, the further along our path we can walk.

The aim is to connect and sustain that connection through daily practice. I have a friend who does walking meditation. He will not call it meditation but it is. I asked him once, “Why do you like to walk in nature, outside of the health benefits that it confers?” and he thoughtfully replied, “to get myself out of myself.”

As much as he tried he could not find the words to offer a better explanation but I understood what he meant. He had found a practice that allowed him to make that connection.

What activities do you engage in to free yourself from yourself?
