Meditation is a very close topic often comes with a lot of mixed feelings for me.
I started meditating like most to find peace of mind and tap into my inner reservoir of calm, in search of this constant bliss.
Having tried breath, transcendental, and mantra form of meditations, breath always allows me to come back to that sense of calm and safety in the moment.
Something very fascinating I learned from Shinzen Young in his book ‘The Science of Enlightenment’ where he shares to carry this awareness and presence which we experience in meditation into day to day life — while cooking, doing dishes, folding laundry, and cleaning. This has helped me a lot to integrate the practice and make it effortless.
I still struggle somedays to even be still for 5 mins and somedays come effortless. Allowing each without struggle for a perfect state is what makes it for me.
Thank you for curating this amazing post on tapping into joy, when it’s always available beneath the inner drama and chaos.
Thanks for sharing all that! Finding bliss is a work in progress well worth the journey. I found it and then stepped further away to integrate my life in real world business. That’s all I’ll say for now, other than that when I had insulated myself in the spiritual community, it was, needless to say, much easier to maintain it. Irritation that life brings is a challenge that I welcome and strive to find even a semblance of the bliss that I had. I do get it but it’s a constant practice in “not blacking out and going unconscious.” 🤪
lol! I know that seesawing between the urge to hibernate and live life as it is.
Thank you for sharing this Savitree. You are right, found meditation and life did get better with it than without. Integration is the journey we are walking.
