![]() Meditation
Mindfulness is tough because it’s counter-intuitive. We fill ourselves with jangle, with drama, with controversy, all day long; our “education” out of our own brains is a slow layering of voices, ideas, contentions. But for those special “sculptors” among us; the “parers”, the “curators” – “emptying ourselves” must be the discipline that we seek. The world is too much with us. We have tried everything, we have savored everything, we have carried everything and now we are burdened. Meditation is the way the lay those burdens down. Can emptiness be healing? It suggest re-building – reboot, a re-design. We reduce ourselves to the most basic component of the moment: breath. In – filling lungs, swelling muscles – and then out: complete emptying, complete relaxation. No thought. When a thought comes to us, we turn it into a balloon and let it go, let it sail away. We are US, ourselves, alive in this moment, breathing in and breathing out. Aaah. Mantra: ”I am enough in my most basic self.”
