soul meditation
I've always thought meditation was like a shower, in a lovely poetic sense--the 'shower' of healing biochemicals, washing through our body...but after a recent holiday road trip, I realized meditation is like a shower in another way, too.
Have you ever put off taking a shower? You know you need to, and you know it will feel good...you really DO want to, but it's just so much trouble to get up and DO it! It's easier to just sit here right now...
Meditation is so much like that! And if you're just starting (with meditation, I mean--I figure you've got showers down), then you may think the reluctance, the experience of wanting to and then not wanting to meditate, is just you, because you're new to the process.
Not so! I've been meditating for many years, and even now, when I get out of my normal patterns, or when I'm busy, or when I'm travelling, or have company...it's so easy to put off meditation. After a while, I almost dread it!
But--here's the great part. Here's why I realized meditation really is like a shower in more ways than one.
When you finally go do it, once you get started--you don't want to stop! It feels so good! You don't want to get out--and you can't imagine why you waited so long! And afterwards, you really DO feel clean and refreshed and wonderful!
So--if you've been wanting to meditate, but never get around to it--you're totally normal! (Well, I'm sure you're not Totally normal, but at least in that you are!) Just drag yourself on in and give it a few minutes. You'll love how it feels once you get started! And you'll love the renewing freshness of your mind.
You may be nicer to be around, too! Blessings! Dr. Deb
