When meditating we have an opportunity to be within ourselves and connect to our inner wisdom and sometimes to Spirit. Recently my husband attended a six day silent Mondo Zen retreat. I wondered, would I be able to be silent for six days? Maybe I can work up to that!
I do try to meditate every morning and sometimes right before I go to bed using Doreen Virtue’s chakra clearing or Angel meditations. Sometimes I love these quiet reflective times, other times the busy chatter in my mind is distracting.
At times during meditation I get caught in replaying mistakes I have made, in self deprecating thoughts and in guilt. These sessions offer a great opportunity to practice distancing from those thoughts without judgement letting those thoughts go by as if on a stream of water in front of me. Remember meditation is a practice and keep trying even if it is 5-10 minutes a day.
