Today is my public service announcement again to meditate if you are not already:) I posted 11 days ago about vowing to meditate every day for 30 days to reestablish my habit.....and I am 11 days in and well.....as I have expressed, it just makes a difference.....in every way.....I wake up at 4....come down and make coffee.....while I wait for coffee I get our vitamins ready for the day.....and then I sit in my chair.....now with my electric blanket, which is still amazing lol:) Heavenly with my 60 degree thermostat......and then I blog, then I meditate.....and I haven't done the same one which I thought I might....I decided to see what calls to me in the morning, each morning....keeping it to 15 minutes....and here is the thing.....the power in our breath is truly life changing....in the moment we take a deep and slow and intentional breath......how often do we do that in a day?? Not much right....but in that moment....everything slows down.....mindfulness joins the party....sense joins in and peace reigns......and it is so simple, such a simple way to help ourselves......and the other piece during meditation is the visualization......I spoke about that some yesterday when I pondered the art of manifesting again.....and spending time thinking on and visualizing the lives we want, and intend to live I think is time well spent.....when I meditate I am better suited to face the day, and whatever comes.....When I meditate I can think clearly.....I am more creative, and likely to think of something that is for me, when I get quiet and still......in my old life I was on autopilot a lot.....doing a lot of doing.....and it felt satisfying enough for sure at the time.....or maybe I did not even ask myself if it was.....my family and the keeping of my family together being my main concern.....but my point is my life lacked intention at times, and meditation helps you bring some of that to your life......And the promising of it to myself is also the key piece.....I have learned to keep promises to myself.....I told myself I would do it and I am:)....every day no matter what.....so if you are reading this, and have never meditated before I urge you to try....go to Youtube and search for a meditation for whatever is needed in your life....they have them geared toward so many things.....and then try one.....a shorter one....the voice of the person guiding it matters too.....if I hear their voice and it doesn't jive I move along:) Just take a chance and see what is out there, something may resonate:)
I came down the stairs this morning.....seeing the full moon illuminating the skylight in my kitchen.....and I stood beneath it and had a meditative moment....just deeply breathing it in....centering myself for the day ahead:) Happy Tuesday:)
