Meditation is so much more than just a relaxing activity. It can be a navigational tool for you. How? It becomes a useful habit by learning to tune into the inner wisdom that is universally in us all.
Meditation helps us find the present moment it assists in tuning into our bodies, connecting with our breath and energy, which allows us to hear our intuitive voice that so often gets drowned out by our thoughts.
When we can slow down, drop into our hearts, and connect with our intuition we can begin allowing this to be a guidance system.
Our lives are noisy and oftentimes we can only hear the loud thoughts swirling around in our heads. Most think this is the best way to process things to analyze, compare pros and cons, and use our belief systems to navigate all of life.
Yet, many times, if we slowed down and used our intuitive side to make decisions, we’d find a much more peaceful and quiet way of going about life.
If this is a new concept, it’s never too late to try something new!
This first starts by getting into the habit of creating a quieter environment for at least part of the day. Eliminate the distractions and find a space that makes you feel relaxed and safe.
Take some deep, slow breaths and focus on your heart center. It’s okay if thoughts are drifting in and out, we’re not trying to get “rid” of them. We just simply do not want to be attached to them.
Become your own observer in this setting. Once you’ve spent a few minutes here, you can begin asking yourself the questions that you’d like answered.
The responses might not come right away, but trust that now that you’ve asked, the answers will appear as they are meant to.
Living more intuitively also will help you become more aware when you’re given signs and answers.
As you begin to make this more of a habit, taking a few minutes in meditation to get quiet and listen will become a stealthy tool.
For those who feel like you “can’t” meditate, this is your invitation to be open for change. It might not be easy for you at this moment, yet with some practice, as it IS called a meditation practice, taking this time will become familiar and pleasant.
In time this could become an entirely new way of navigating life, bringing more peace to your day to day.
