DON'T do this if you want more time, flow and joy.....

I grew up with a very normal family who had zero interest in anything yoga or esoteric,  yet by the age of 18, I was at the first of many mediation courses. 

By age 20, I had enrolled in a Transcendental Meditation course, and have been meditating on and off and off and on for that long.

Now....don't get me wrong. I was a normal teen,  and partied like only those who lived on the other side of this century used to. 

I certainly wasn't all ommmms.

However, on and off I'd come back to meditation. It would pick me up from falling down and plant me back in my body.

When I reflect on this now, nearly 30 years later, I just think how frickin weird that was. I mean seriously. Past life much. 

Why am I so passionate about sharing my love of meditation with you? 

I honestly believe that meditation is the best kept secret of our time. It is like pure gold and the best thing ...it's FREEE.....but its always been so curious to me - how people don't do it.....

And guess what: 

1. It doesn't matter if you've never meditated. 
2. There is no destination with meditation
3. There is no gold star for how long you've done it for.
4. There is no race
5. The whole point is leaving the ego and competition at the door
6. You will feel better even after one meditation, and the effects will be cumulative.
7. Your meditation may suck, but what happens in between your meditations will be the 'result' 
8. Meditation is for EVERYBODY.
9. Every day I am a beginner and I begin again.
   

Even if you do 3 minutes 3 x a week (come on sister you have that time). 

Even if you do 3 minutes once a week.....please please please do it.

Being a highly sensitive person and an Empath, meditation has been the foundation and the place where I can go, where no one else's energy can effect me, and where I can come back to me. 

The benefits are plentiful with so many health benefits being scientifically researched (science eventually catches up with what we soul sisters always knew!), as well as so many benefits for our state of mind.

Benefits I personally feel from meditation:

1. I feel like I have more time and more flow through the day
2. I am less reactive 
3. I feel 'set up' for the day
4. It feels like a special  'home in my own heart'
5. I can check in with myself as to my own energy before I enter the day. (less tangling with other peoples energy, or taking it on as our own)
6. It creates a base-line within me. 
7. It creates a feeling of safety within me.

It actually makes me a bit sad to think of how people struggle through life, when they could be dancing a little more... with this very simple practice. 

I write this blog, in the hope that it might make you over ride the power of your egos voice (the voice that wants you to remain stuck, in drama, and in pain) and tells you all the lies about: 

• Not having enough time
• I can't do meditation
• Meditation is for yogis or a certain group of people
• Meditation doesn't work
• blah blah blah.....

There is a jewel inside of you, and it is so beautiful and so sacred, and yet we are often so afraid to reach in and touch it. 

I encourage you to touch it....reach for it. 

Like that song said in the 90s"If you buy this record your life will be better"

Wellllll "if you meditate your life will be better....your life will be better...your life will be better yeahhhhh"

Dances around room! 

See ya in the pace between the here and now!
