Meditation – you really have to be there

But for those who do, they will tell you it is a place of great stillness and peace. It is a place that restores and rejuvenates our physical, mental and emotional being, and it is naturally available to all human beings.

The pathway to this place of peace is through the practice of meditation.

To meditate is to relax. To meditate is to sit in stillness, to close the eyes, to bathe the ears and to be with thought. To meditate is to release the world around you for the world within.

So, the journey begins . . .

Meditation is freedom. There are no signposts or directions; peace is the journey and the destination . . . peace, is unavoidable. In meditation, self-awareness drifts slowly beyond thought to become imbued in the profound stillness of just BEING. In this place there is nothing to be gained or attained. In this place, self-awareness becomes contentment, fulfilment and completion.

Your inner peace is your inner being. It is immoveable, it is infinite and it is you in your first place. Feel the peace, feel the oneness with self and then, travel on . . .

Here is the paradox of peace –
As we move forward we remain in stillness . . .‍

In stillness there is peace. In peace we take each step forward.
Peace is at the beginning of everything.

To meditate is natural for humans. Many creatures in the animal kingdom exercise their innate ability to become physically motionless, sometimes for long periods of time . . .

Regular meditation progressively awakens within us a natural and profound sense of inner peace. The feelings of inner peace are always within us but they are hidden below layers of accumulated stress and our obsession with the material world. Becoming aware of our inner peace is the result of stress being released. As this happens we develop a sense of balance around our acquiescence to material demands. Releasing stress and becoming more peaceful within rejuvenates the body’s essential systems, contributing significantly to our overall health and wellbeing at all levels.

The most powerful medicine we have is our beliefs. What we believe in life directs our attention and intention. Beliefs that bring us to hardship and sorrow contribute to un-wellness and can remain intact for a lifetime without our awareness of them. Meditation provides the opportunity for self-reflection and change. As we begin to know ourselves at an essential level, we create objectivity and clarity around limiting beliefs. With this realisation, a natural balance begins within our thought processes – we begin to think and act more positively. As we do, chemical changes related to our growing emotional happiness work to profoundly increase the vitality of our health and wellness at both physiological and psychological levels.

Meditation is just easy and natural, but you really have to be there . . .
