You Might Be Meditating and Don’t Even Know It!
I love meditating. LOVE it. I am into the good old-fashioned ‘sitting in silence and stillness’ kind of meditating and have spent hundreds of hours “sitting” (as we say). But, I am clear that this is not for everyone. This type of meditation is called a “practice” for a reason.
What may surprise and delight you is that you likely already have a meditation practice and perhaps have not realized it as such.
Meditation is defined simply as the practice of thinking deeply or focusing one’s mind for a period of time.
This could include but is not limited to:
- Walking
- Yoga
- Running
- Praying
- Singing
- Playing a musical instrument
- Putting puzzles together
- Journaling
- Being in nature
- Qigong
- Thai Chi
- Breathing
- Sex
- Coloring
- Dancing
We need leaders who can focus their minds. We all deserve, and very much need, the many benefits that meditation brings.
The question is simply this: what do you partake in that is meditative and how can you create space for more of that? Yes, please!
