Meditation and the power of stillness

A Journey with Joy

It's such an honour to deliver you this episode on meditation. Breathing is such a natural experience, it was our first individual connection to the earth. The moment we were born was the first time we began surviving on our own, by depending on our own breath instead of our mothers. This is why such a still and simple practice is a beautiful opportunity to reconnect with who we truly are.On days when i'm deeply connected to the present, I can bask in the energy of my own sunlight with every inhale being an acknowledgement of my inner joy and every exhale being an expansive source of gratitude. Then there are days that anxiety or sadness may be strong. On days like this I require the discipline of connecting with my inner warrior, to take the hand of my inner child, showing her that we can we can let go of the suffering to become free. That there is no need to be afraid, and that we can come deeper into love together. I have so much to say and so many teachers to thank both from the past and present. Yet, I feel that the freedom I describe can more easily be reached by being aware that we are breathing, more so than any words I can communicate. I hope this might inspire you to embark on your own meditation practice as an opportunity to come home to ourselves and our true freedom, who we really are in the stillness of the present. 🌞 Enjoy this extra episode this week.
