Doctors and Mystics alike have written and spoken about the benefits of Meditation and have given you many reasons to begin this Practice. In my small way, I have also tried to explain why in previous blogs.
I thought that I knew the answer.
But…
It is only right this moment as I drink my coffee that it hits me. The real reasons why I Meditate. The real reasons why you should Meditate.
As I drink my coffee, I find myself looking more and more forward to my morning Meditation. Actually excited.
This surprises me.
Yes, I have been meditating for over 30 years and love it but It came to me this minute that I always saw it as a box to be checked in my day. One more thing done. A positive “thing”, a productive “thing” but just another “thing” that I do in my busy day.
But my mind is blown as this minute:
I realize...
What a Luxury it is. What a Privilege it is. What a Gift it is.
Time.
I realize that it is made even sweeter because it is a Luxury and a Gift that I give myself. A Privilege I grant myself.
I realize that it is the greatest act of self love and self care that there is.
Time.
A Time to Stop every day for just a little while, a Time to step off the Merry-Go-Round. A Time to learn about ourselves, A Time to become intimately acquainted with ourselves, A Time to become and be our own best friend.
A Time that belongs to Me.
How beautifully and gloriously Selfish.
