Meditation

This morning was a beautiful time to sit out on the deck and just embrace the morning breeze. I usually meditate in the mornings and if I'm not able to during the AM I always make it a point to do so just after lunch.

As I'm sitting on the deck, the breeze blowing and feeling like fall, I close my eyes to begin my quiet meditation. I can hear the birds, the bugs, and the breeze. My mind is still. The only thoughts in my mind are the creations of the sounds around me.

Sitting there I get the thought to open my eyes. It was then that I realized that our real meditation is being witness to what is. Here I found such deep profound joy for what I was experiencing. It was effortless to see how life was unfolding around me.

I thought about it for a moment and realized how mediation is a wonderful tool to quiet ourselves and reconnect, but that we are also quiet and connected when we observe what is already created. Every step we take in this life can be a choice of peace, love, light and life and with each step we take we are able to meditate on what is real, rather than trying to create something other than what is.

We can't change our outside world by trying to influence others to change, but rather it's a shift within our own hearts, our own minds, and our own realizations that make the world in which we "see" real. Sure there are moments that we see things that we don't like, but I have learned that by utilizing the 7-Step Process I'm able to find the blessing in the Divine message that is being witnessed. It's not about coming together and changing any one's vibration, it's coming together to change our own. This, then can have a major impact on the world around us.

The work we all do during our meditations are worthy, but if we are still seeing it as us influencing others rather than how they have influenced us and have been the tool for us to seek better in our own lives then we devalue our brothers and sisters.

So go out and meditate with your eyes open today and really embrace the breeze, the sun, the clouds or whatever else you see as your heart stays in a place of pure gratitude.

Now don't get me wrong, meditation is wonderful and I love it. But for me I realize that anything I wish or seek to change in another or in my world, it's because it's still something within me that needs adjusting. So I use meditation as a discovery period.
