Meditation

You know how you can go through life, knowing that you should be doing something different... but able to ignore it for quite a while? Yeah... whether it's exercise or self-care or meditation... I'm sure we all have things that are niggling at the back of our mind, but we're able to ignore them for quite a while... In fact, we can stuff all sorts of things down into the basement of our little house. But after a while, the basement starts to get a little stuffed and it's time to tackle things... That's sort of been me and my attitude towards prayer and meditation and quiet time and all that sort of stuff... Yeah, yeah, I tell myself, I'll get around to it at some point, but right now I'm too busy... Besides I'm doing just fine without it... Uh-huh... Maybe it's a middle-age thing... maybe this makes not sense to us when we are younger... But at some point it becomes imperative that we take that inner journey... not just the outer journey... We need to delve deep into our spiritual life... into our emotional life... and see what treasures there are to be found... I'm reading a book right now by Sarah Ban Breathnach called Something More: Excavating Your Authentic Self... along with her other book Simple Abundance... I do like to read a few books at the same time... Anyhow... this seems like a mid-life thing for women, to turn from the journey without and explore the journey within... So, I'm game... not sure what I'll find... but it sounds exciting... and scarey... and all sorts of other things... Just fear talking... cut through it and get moving!
