I DIDN’T THINK I WOULD WRITE A BOOK ABOUT MEDITATION.
Aren’t there enough of them out there already? Who am I to say what meditation is or how we should interpret it?
I don’t think meditation should be spoken about or interpreted in language, nor should I attempt an explanation. Meditation just is. It is multi-sensory and individualistic. Maybe it is dualistic if you choose group meditation, but it is of the self. Of you. This puts me in a bit of a mess and I apologize profusely for putting thoughts on meditation into words, but how else to talk about it if not in language? Meditation can’t be explained as much as I feel it is time to offer an explanation.
We’re at a crossroads in our relationship to ourselves, and unless we begin to know ourselves, truly know the self, we’re going to destroy the planet and ourselves along with it. I feel this. Deeply. No matter your religion or economic status, your ethnicity or tribe, the peril we are all in is real. This isn’t some apocalyptic truth. Nor do I want to scare you. We’re an evolving race of people, all of us, of one planet, yet we don’t know who we are. We’re desperately clinging onto something, but what? It is as if the rug is being pulled out from under us on a daily basis, but we don’t know what it means. The fight-or-flight response is all we have left because we’re exhausted beyond measure. No one said this was going to be easy, this life, but never did we think we should be in this much distortion.
THIS IS AN EXCERPT FROM MY FORTHCOMING BOOK ENTITLED, The Intrepid Meditator.
As a companion book to the free mediation series, The Intrepid Meditator is designed to help guide you through the series. By introducing you to the personal backstory behind the healing modality, I hope to travel alongside you on your journey to greater creative freedom. Please join me in the mediations, as they are FREE, and provide ample space for you to take yourself to your inner creativity. Your inner Truth.
I HAVE BEEN A WRITER FOR ALL MY LIFE.
I only began to take myself seriously when, in 2000, I was introduced to a very unique healing meditation modality. I have been using this straight-forward, no fuss meditation modality on myself for over twenty years. It has changed my perspective about myself and my relationship to the planet, and as a result I have discovered my authentic writer’s voice.
We’re in a relationship to Earth, and consequently to one another, but we’re not connected to the planet in ways that sustain us. We take. And we take from others.
This healing meditation series is designed to open your body, mind, and spirit to greater creative energy and help you find ways to sustain it. Time is of the essence to understand our own self. By learning to balance the creative self, the humble self, the provider self, the mothering self, the fathering self, as examples, we can grow to respect that it is on us to discover our personal happiness, and consequently our personal freedoms without expecting a partner, a parent, a school, a church, or a government official to provide us with this Truth.
