I am back home from my visit to Mexico and the wonderful whales. Wednesday I’ll have a real treat for you, some photos and a video I took of a young mother and her calf. I love to meditate and had an awesome opportunity to meditate in some awesome places so I thought I’d share some simple tips on meditation.

Meditation

Simple put meditation is withdrawing your attention from the external world and allowing yourself to connect with the energy of the divine, whether you call that God, Goddess, angels, the Great Spirit, Jesus, Mother Mary or just love.


Meditation is easy

So often when I talk about meditation people think it is hard or more accurately make it a lot harder than it really is. Meditation is simple a matter of sitting quietly for a few minutes and focusing your attention on your breath. When you mind begins to wander just focus your attention on your breath again.

The most important things about meditating are:

  • Taking time to sit quietly and do it
  • Being gentle and loving with yourself as you learn to quiet your mind
  • Lovingly bringing your focus back to love
  • Allowing it to be easy, effortless and enjoyable
  • Remembering the purpose (to connect with love, the divine, God, angels, peace)

Meditation has great rewards
  
For a few days practice setting aside five minutes every morning to quietly meditate and watch the quality of your life improve.

“You meditate not because you have to but because it’s the gateway to the world of freedom, peace, happiness and joy.”

With love and aloha,
Susan
