I am about to begin teaching a guided meditation class
called “Creating a Space for Living in Joy”.
When I decided to do this I needed to get a clearer understanding why it
was important for me to do this now. So,
I thought about why meditation is so important.
I have always been told by spiritual guides of mine over the
last 20 years that I need to meditate.
They said I needed to quiet my mind.
I never could. Besides, always
thinking and doing is what got me this far, slowing down to meditate seems
almost counter-productive. Then I met a
friend of mine that gave me the name of my first teacher.
Then I finally understood why meditation is so
important. When we go inside we connect
with ourselves through Spirit. If you
are a whirling dervish, constantly moving, doing, going, always in a meeting,
on the phone, IMing, interacting with others; then going within is vital to
reconnect to your center.
I teach guided meditation classes because I am not a
master, I am a student. I believe the
best way to become a teacher is to teach what you know. The more I learn, the more I can teach. In the meantime, I can teach what I know to
those that seek that knowledge. I am a
journeyman. I can help others begin their
path, as I journey on mine.
Sometimes I wonder if people don’t meditate because they are
afraid to slow down and get still. What
will you find when you stop running? Who
are you if you’re not flying by the seat of your pants? What does your still small voice have to say
that you don’t want to hear?
It is time to love yourself and give yourself the gift of
stillness. If we are to connect to the
joy within, we must first learn what’s in there. Paraphrasing Glinda the Good Witch: “The answer was with you all along.”
Click your heels 3 times and repeat after me ~ Free your
mind, to do anything your heart desires.
Joyfully yours,
Robyn
