Most people pack so much into one day that they believe it’s impossible to fit meditation time into their daily routine. The ego will fabricate whatever story it needs to stop you from sitting in a meditative state.
Before you allow that to happen, keep this reality in mind:
“Meditation is not some ‘thing’ you do…it is the experience of Being that which you are!”
– Terry Swejkoski
What if you could break out of the typical mindset of being too busy to sit silently for a few minutes each day? Would you at least be willing to try it, or would you continue to allow your ego to control your path?
There’s an old saying, “You don’t know what you don’t know.” However, the experience of meditation allows you to get in touch with all that is simply waiting for you to discover. You know much more than your mind will acknowledge – meditation takes you far beyond the mind.
When you begin meditating, you will start to see what you don’t know – it will begin to materialize into your life as if by magic. The deep knowing experienced in silence repositions itself to the forefront of your reality, and your acceptance of what is manifests through Conscious Clarity. When sitting still, you allow the more profound messages from the Higher Self to come through and provide direction based upon a much higher level of knowledge. This knowledge comes from the Spiritual Self, which is the true essence of who you are.
Fitting meditation into your daily routine is easy – anyone can experience it.
Here are a few suggestions:
- Get out of bed a half-hour before anyone else does in the household
- Pick a time and place it on your calendar as you would with any other appointment
- Acknowledge the existence of the Higher Self and ask for guidance
- Train yourself to be still by listening to soft, inspirational background music
- Replace television time with meditation time
To begin meditating, you don’t need to follow a formal lesson plan; you can do so for brief moments, even seconds. Instead, follow your inner guidance system (Higher Self) to incorporate meditation into your daily life.
Once you start to experience the blissful effects of the meditative silence, you will automatically find yourself allowing more moments for peace, quiet, and tranquility, replacing other outside mind-based influences that clutter the mind.
