Connecting to Our Center

You may have heard "Prayer is asking God for something; Meditation is listening to God." Whether you believe you are listening to God or tuning into your own inner voice is not the point.
Getting quiet enough to hear is.

There are many ways to meditate that do not involve sitting on a cushion cross legged. It's about "being", rather than "doing"....connecting to our center.

Listening to music Walking along the beach Taking a warm bubble bath Reading a great book Listening to wind chimes Watching candles glow Listening to the silence

Spending time at a bookstore Watching the sunrise Watching the sunset Having a massage Watching our cat sleep Knitting or hand sewing Free-style writing

If you have been an on-the-go/can't stand things quiet type/must multi task kind of person, this may be difficult at first, but each time becomes just a bit easier. As you become more grounded...or centered...you will find that all the things you thought you HAD to do were either illusion, or you will do them easily.
