We are always submerged in our thoughts and mental patterns. Meditation gives us a chance to raise our heads above our steady stream of thoughts and see them from a different perspective
I realized through meditation just how much power I was giving the thoughts that crossed my mind
I think that one of the biggest benefits of meditations is that it is a break from focusing on the external world. We spend so much of our time externally focused
There are so many different forms of meditation, which is another example that there truly is no single “right way” to do anything
I feel like meditation at it’s core is about stripping back layers and getting down to simple truth
Meditation is not about doing, rather it is about allowing. Allowing your thoughts to settle. Allowing whole ideas or new understandings to surface
Meditation can’t be forced. You can’t will yourself to meditate
