Meditation for Thursday March 20, 2025
Many writers attest to the fact that there are two most important dimensions to their success, time and space. They recommend that one should write every day at approximately the same time and in the same place. Some writers see this as obligatory whether they have anything to say or not. They go and sit at their computer and if necessary, do nothing until the very act of sitting at the computer in the writer’s place and in the writer’s time an energy is gradually released that gives the writer inspiration.
In the same way, as meditation practitioners it’s good to develop a routine that takes us to the same place at the same time each day. On those days when the head is fuzzy and we feel meditation is beyond us at least by our being in our meditation place our intention remains and we benefit greatly from the exercise.
I often mention that we meditate not just for our self but for the benefit of others.
When we honour this obligation we acknowledge our interconnection with all beings.
In India when people meet and part they often say ‘Namaste’, which means, I honour the place with you, I am in that place with you and you with me, there is only one of us. ‘Namaste’.
As we meditate we can enfold others conscious that our meditation can help bring peace and harmony, calm and joy to an otherwise fractured world.
