Avoiding Your

True Power

Afraid To Meditate

There

are times when we feel the pull to meditate but are swayed from it by the

excuses that spring to mind. We may think that we are too busy, have no

time to ourselves, or that we do not have the right place to meditate.

Our minds can think of dozens of reasons to put off meditation. But those

are even stronger reasons to look past the illusion of the hustle and

bustle of daily life and to connect to the place within that intersects

with the timeless power and limitless potential of the universe. From that

place we can experience that potent stillness that exists at all times,

and it is only as far as away as our breath.

It might be useful to ask yourself why you would put off something so

beneficial to your peace of mind and general well-being. There may be

fear that if you were to stop your frantic pace, your world might fall

apart, and then you would have to face the undeniable reality of who you

really are and the results of the choices you have made. You might be

afraid that you will be forced to make huge changes in order to align

yourself with the universe and harness your true potential. Sometimes the

frustrations of the known world seem less scary than the possibilities of

the unknown. But the truth is that when we cooperate with the universe by

creating our lives from the truth of our being, life becomes less of a

struggle and more of a process of living blissfully on purpose.

Finding yourself alone for a few moments can give you the opportunity to

turn within to infuse a sense of calm wisdom to your work. Whenever you

can take the time to recenter and refocus, it will remind you how

beneficial it is to connect to your source. Then you will make the time

for longer sojourns of spirit, because once you are rejuvenated and

enlivened by knowing that you are made of energy and light, you can

channel the power to create your life in alignment with the highest

potential of your soul.
