I started meditating many years ago during yet another very challenging period. I had tried everything, looked under every rock for some sense of solace, and found none. I had no idea what I was doing when I began; all I knew was that the only place I hadn’t looked was within and that I had nothing to lose by trying.
Maybe due to the desperation I felt, or perhaps it was some other reason that I have no knowledge of, but the first time I attempted meditating, I had a profound experience and knew that this was where I would find the answers I longed for. I haven’t found a better remedy than getting quiet and listening within.
I’ve come to see that “prayer” isn’t asking for anything but is listening within to feel the presence of the Divine (by whatever name resonates with you). It doesn’t need to hear me, and I certainly don’t need to beg for anything. I need to listen. The Divine always wants me to hear, and its language is peace.
You don’t need to know how; you just need to be willing to listen within because you recognize in whatever measure you don’t know. The “how” will unfold.
And you don’t have to be on your knees (physically) or sit any particular way for it to be effective.
I have a very special friend that I haven’t seen in a while and I miss them very much. I would love to visit and see how he’s doing and catch up on life. They have such a unique gift of fixing things and loves vintage-y stuff like me. I don’t know if he’s too busy since his business is booming and just might not be a good time.
He’s definitely one of the most zen and complete guys I’ve ever met, but sometimes his quiet nature can leave me wondering if . . maybe . . . I’m underfoot?
Quietly, calmly, and gently waiting to feel the Spirit.
