Added 2021-04-10 15:25:28 +0000 UTC✨ Saturday Thoughts - Meditation is a beautiful and whole-hearted embodiment of the phrase: “slow down to accelerate.” When we meditate we are stepping out of our thoughts and feelings, giving way to a greater level of awareness. For it is true that to constantly experience something, is to lose awareness of it. In the same way that you can’t see your nose because it is always there and your brain filters it out. A more complex example can be seen in humans before the discovery of gravity, how can we automatically assume the presence of gravity. It has ‘always been there’ so it ceases to exist. We accept whatever reality we are presented with. Our brain is constantly functioning to define a sense of what is ‘normal’ as we learn and grow by interacting with the world around us and its inhabitants. So to meditate, is to step out of gravity (thoughts/feelings/conscious mind) and go into space, where you have a much clearer perspective on things. You see the whole earth for what it is, a colourful marble suspended in vast darkness. When we do not meditate and are constantly trying to escape the debt of all the thoughts and feelings we do not want to deal with, we lose sight of reality; we become our thoughts and feelings, no matter how irrational or biased ❤ xx Meg
