Meditation Is My Home

I love to meditate for so many different reasons. But mostly, to me, meditation feels like home.

Here is a short list of why I meditate:

Its something I can do no matter where I am, no matter the kind of day I’ve had, no matter what I’ve done wrong or how much time I’ve spent away from my practice. The moment I close the door to my closet and start to center myself this sweet calmness begins to fall over me and I instantly feel safe in this haven of inner peace.  I am reintroduced to my higher self and become reminded of the true person that I am and the person that I strive to be. I am blanketed in God’s love and reminded that holding on to negativity only harms myself; and so in this space, in this moment, I am encouraged to drop my heavy load and burdens and in return I am given a Light to share with the world.

I return to this space on long walks, in hot baths, lying in bed, while sitting or standing; and each time is easier to return than the last because for me meditation is home.

For those of you that do meditate please share with me a reason or two that you feel calls you back to that space. For those of you that don’t I am also interested in hearing why you don’t.  Feel free to share your comments below.
