Haiku – coming home

~
Come home to yourself
Let awareness guide the way
Find your Middle Ground

When we take time to pause and be present with what is happening in that moment, an inner shift occurs.

You may not feel it a first, especially if you are new to meditation or even simply slowing down and being present. Thoughts can get in the way, and often the belief that you should be doing something productive.

Years of conditioning and living up to others expectations creates habits that are hard to break. The ego-mind tells you not to be lazy, selfish or be like that black sheep of the family .. look what happened to them!

The truth of who you are, your authentic self, lies beyond the thinking mind. Your thoughts are not the truth.

To uncover this, you must step away from the external world and take time to come home to your self.

Meditation is the traditional way of doing this, but we don’t need to sit cross legged for 20 minutes every day. You can, and that will make you a good meditator, but it doesn’t guarantee an inner shift and opening to your authentic self.

It isn’t the “doing” of meditation that matters, but becoming aware of how you are being.

Pausing, letting go, tuning in and being a kind observer of your inner world is the most important step.
