Whether it’s a quiet walk in the sunshine, listening to the sound of birds singing, or sitting in silence in a special place, meditation is nothing short of magical when you know how it works. I don’t know where we picked up the idea that we are souls crammed into a body, but this can’t be further from the truth. We are souls that go beyond our bodily existence and touch upon an infinite source of cosmic places and energetic spaces. Our reach goes into Universal spaces of wisdom, knowledge, healing, and information. We are always in spirit. There was or is never a time we ever leave our spiritual state just to have an earthly body. We also tend to believe that heavenly spaces are only “up”. This is not the truth either! We have the spirit world right here, next to us, around us, and beyond us.
Once you grasp it, this information makes meditation so much more interesting! Just like anything, practice makes meditative moments much more productive. Meditation becomes close to us like a sweater we never take off. I like to set my intention for what I desire to experience or know and then close my eyes with those things in mind. Or, if I simply want to allow my higher self to explore and discover, I go into meditation with no agenda.
Meditation is not simply an Eastern philosophy or something done outside of religion. Meditation is a Western practice as well, and those who are involved in organized religion also meditate! In fact, many ancient texts speak about meditation, although the practice precedes any written text we read today. The moments in our lives are special and should be considered sacred. Exploring our universe can be exciting as much as it is informational. Simply close your eyes and allow your higher self to explore the cosmos or seek wisdom for your life. The moments you spend in meditation can become magical as you embark on a journey of the “mystical.” There is no place like home, and home is all around us as much as it is within and beyond us! We truly live in an amazing place of teaching, mystery, magic, and beauty!
Simply close your eyes right now, set your intention, or have no agenda and just breathe. See what meditative moments can bring to your life! Keep a journal and read it back to yourself often. It’s amazing that we can obtain wisdom and guidance simply by seeking it through meditation and connecting with higher guidance. You never know what higher guidance you will touch upon!
