Think of Meditation

Meditation.

Reflections or to guide others in contemplation.

Meditation is listening to silence. It is clearing your mind of the clutter left by expectations, worry, and fear to bring into focus the peace that is yours for the asking. Meditation doesn’t have to be formal. It can be done anytime there’s a lull in your daily routine. Make it a practice to empty your thoughts, and rest in the stillness for a few moments. If you find it difficult to empty your mind, then replace the thoughts you have with one more appealing to you. A sail ship slowly making way on still water. A gentle wind moving through a lush green forest. A person you love. Whatever brings you to peace. Meditation is a path of balance, use it often.

“Reading makes a full man, meditation a profound man, discourse a clear man.”

Benjamin Franklin, American printer,
writer, philosopher, scientist and inventor, 1706-1790
