Gypsy Gems,
I just got home from Guided Meditation, and I feel absolutely wonderful. Meditation is something I discovered recently almost by accident. I was attending a salad potluck at a local social centre when I was asked if I would join the guided meditation held later in the evening. Being at the right place at the right time and having an open mind, I decided to give it a try and I have been hooked ever since.
Mediation brings clarity. Meditation brings tranquility.
I have a day job that often turns into a night job and even spills over onto weekends. I am involved in various professional, social and community activities. I often feel overwhelmed and barely have a chance to catch my breath. Meditation allows me to slow down, take a moment and concentrate on nothing else but my breathing. Meditation allows me to connect with myself, and listen to my body while clearing my head.
For those of you who haven't tried it, or think meditation is complete hocus pocus. I was once like you. You too will have a change of heart once you try it.
“When we speak of meditation, it is important for you to know that this is not some weird cryptic activity, as our popular culture might have it. It does not involve becoming some kind of zombie, vegetable, self-absorbed narcissist, navel gazer, “space cadet,” cultist, devotee, mystic, or Eastern philosopher. Meditation is simply about being yourself and knowing something about who that is. It is about coming to realize that you are on a path whether you like it or not, namely, the path that is your life. Meditation may help us see that this path we call our life has direction; that it is always unfolding, moment by moment; and that what happens now, in this moment, influences what happens next.” - Joe Kabat -Zinn
Also related... tonight I gifted the Gypsy Jewel "Tranquillity" to my instructor, Patrice. Tranquillity is a Pendant of multiple feathers of earthy browns, grays and white. The pendant has a charm of a silver peace sign and was placed on a long silver chain. Patrice was gracious to accept the gift.
Today was a beautiful day. Namaste.
