WHY MEDITATION for the New Year?
Terry’s Thoughts Today~
Why do we spend so much of our lives peering through fog?
As we often do when a new year begins, I am reflecting back on what has made the most significant positive changes in my life in 2016? Is it finally having our book published after so much time and effort? Yes! But I know in my heart it is realizing how critically important daily meditation has become in my life. It is there that I find deep love for ALL people, leaving my ego driven judgments behind. What makes it so fantastic is that I find myself more loving, caring, kind, and compassionate towards others. I start my day with a peaceful calmness and energy putting a huge smile on my face! Even more significant is the connection made with my Divine inner presence searching for guidance. I’m asking for the wisdom to recognize answers that keep flowing right back to me. But…I’m always amazed how these answers arrive creatively wrapped in clear intuition, people I meet, or finding words somewhere out in my world. I see them and hear them once I allow the foggy mist to clear in my mind through my heart center. But, here’s the problem. Our daily lives keep us viewing life “peering” through the fog of LIFE. Meditation can “lift” that fog so we can view our lives with much greater clarity.
These pictures are from a trip to Florida during the holidays this year. I’ve just returned to snowy Michigan after walking and running in the beautiful white fluffy sand of Siesta Key. It wasn’t until I stood in the fog, disappointed that sunshine wouldn’t follow me on the beach that morning when I was able SEE clearly.
The LIGHT within us is waiting for us to reach, GRAB it and surface ~ showing up for our day ready to see and hear with clarity. How can I be of service to you today Lord? Amazing energy arrives to take on whatever challenge might face me that day! What a contrast is the day when I skip this precious quiet time!
WHY start your NEW YEAR with meditation?
Here are a few of my own top reasons for making it a priority each day. Perhaps they will help you too!
- Acquiring a new skill sharpens your brain cells!
- Meditation can help you stay focused on important matters without annoying anxiety and impatience.
- Helps you “plug” into your daily changing inner desires instead of a contrived new years list.
- Helps you avoid the post holiday slump.
- Counters the effects of SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) for all of us living in the clouded gray skies of winter!
- It’s a no-cost daily vacation!
- Increase your ability to think intuitively connecting with your authentic self.
- Lose dreaded fear based living.
- Open yourself to personal, family, community and even WORLD peace instead of fear.
- Your friends and family will appreciate the NEW you!
And maybe it will be YOUR love spreading to others to help them find their own love and peace right in their heart where it keeps spreading…maybe to someone who really needs a lift that day! As we know from a beautiful sunset the rays of sun are streaming across the path of countless people. YOU can spread your love just like that!
