Meditation
– Sonya Zappone, RYT, Author & Poet
The practice of being calm in a crazy, mixed-up world
A time-out from life and a time inwards
A decompression from stress and strain
A way to rest the busy, tired mind
A relaxation of thought and thinking
A way to liberate the mind
A path to freedom
A pause and see what one has been thinking
A challenge and an opportunity
A stopping of one’s internal suffering
A choice to heal our thoughts by catching negative ones
A mental re-balancing
A connection to self and soul
A surrender to the moment
A chance to acceptance what is
A moment to just be.
Self-reflection Question:
When you meditate, what do you meditate on? The breath? A mantra? Candle?
Or do you tend to decompress and just notice what you are thinking or contemplate?
Why do you need to meditate? (What’s your motive or reasons?)
