Why meditate?

Many mistakenly believe that meditation entails sitting still for ten minutes or so in some kind of contorted pretzel position and stopping all thought. These are actually two of the biggest misconceptions of the practice of meditation. They’re also the primary reasons most people give up meditating all together.

I’m doing things a little differently this time around. I have recorded a new meditation for you to practice called, “I Am Present Everywhere.” It’s roughly ten minutes long. All you need is a quiet space to settle in and listen.

We spend an inordinate amount of time trying to make everything feel solid and secure. We want certainty and are uncomfortable not knowing. We want or even need, to know how it all will turn out. When we don’t know, we feel unsettled, insecure, like we have somehow lost our footing. Staying caught up in your head with your thoughts is a very dangerous neighborhood to be in alone!

Some of us worry that because we get lost in thought, that means that we are not successful in our meditation practice. Just the opposite is true. The fact that you are noticing that your mind strays as you meditate is a sign of success. It means you are beginning to become aware and recognizing how much “stuff” passes through your awareness oftentimes without you even noticing it.

Every single moment is an opportunity for us to live mindfully in an awakened state.

Like me, maybe you’ve spent time in your life trying desperately to avoid painful memories, grief, anger or other emotions hoping that they’d simply “go away” on their own. Or maybe you bought into the old adage that says, “time heals all wounds.”

Now I want to share one last secret which will put you on a path to freedom where you can find your true purpose and reignite your life!

Technology today is one of the major influences in our daily lives but it comes with a pretty heavy longterm price tag that I’m not sure our society yet fully comprehends. Our incessant use (and some would say addiction) of technology comes at the expense of our own internal awareness, our surroundings and our relationships with others.
