Whenever I talk to people the first thing they ask is, “I know there's a purpose in my life but how do I find out what it could be?
I can see the anticipation and excitement building in their eyes as I prepare to answer their question. As I utter the word “Meditate”. I could feel their excitement turning quickly into disappointment. This question is commonly followed by a look of horror and “I can’t meditate" or "I can't quiet my mind" comment.
During my 33 year Spiritual quest, I’ve come to the conclusion that without a meditation practice it is almost impossible to maintain heightened states of consciousness and awareness. Believe me I tried. You see, I was one of those people. Sitting still for me for more than 5 minutes at a time brought me tremendous anxiety and frustration. Then one day as I tried meditation I hear the words, "Just Sit". No expectations no clearing the mind. "Just Sit".
Meditation is a practice, your practice and as you build on your practice you become better and better at it , start by just sitting.
Why Meditate
Meditation is accumulative. Studies show that 11 hours of meditation split up into 20 to 30 minute sessions a month, regulates emotions and behaviors. Helping you achieve higher states of consciousness and awareness which you could use to tap into your higher-self, your inner knowing.
