the stillness

Meditation.


Ah....
I recently started meditating. I just thought it was something that would help keep balance and harmony in my life and I have to tell you, I love it.
I may never go back to a non meditative life.
Its not about sitting down and going ,"ooooohhhmmmm....."
Its about awareness, but not engaging. Its about a finding the stillness in you. The stillness is where you find harmony and balance. The stillness is where you recharge, and relax. Its about the stillness in life. That is why people find so much clarity at church or in the temple, its the stillness, its the peace, where you can be alone inside you, not necessarily "with your thoughts" but more like among your thoughts.
If you haven't tried meditating, you should.
this is the site where I am learning to meditate and I recommend if you are just starting, to use a guide, like a mediation cd, something that guides you through the process. This site even has apps for iphones and droids, which is actually how I do it, and let me tell you, going to sleep at night has NEVER been so sound and so easy.
It doesn't take long, the app has a 5 min, 12 min and 24 min option.
Its soooo worth it.
Seriously, just give it a try.

Danny meditates every single day, and he loves it (he always tells me I could benefit from it, but I'm always so busy that I don't meditate with him...which probably means that I could benefit from it). He meditates in the morning as a way to kick-start his day. He loves the impact!

Anthony took a meditation class a year ago first thing in the morning. He just fell asleep every time. lol
