Hello Bright Light,
I wrote this email waiting for my flight to leave for a
10-day meditation retreat in Colorado. There's a good chance I'll be on the plane returning home when you read these words (Yay, technology!)
Why did I sign up for 10 days of silence?
Over the years I've come to deeply appreciate the many benefits of a
meditation practice, as difficult as it is sometimes. I've witnessed my life, and the lives of hundreds of clients, change and evolve from the inside out aided by "inner work".
Among it's many benefits, meditation can be a "psychic clearing" and "availability" practice.
As one practices meditation a state of inner spaciousness can open up. This state makes it possible to resolve, clear, and integrate unprocessed energies, thoughts, and emotions from past and current life experiences. Like an energetic washing machine!
This detox and clearing process can create even more space inside
which allows one to become more consciously available to hear the subtle whisper of Higher Self wisdom.
The healing effects of meditation can also open the gates for free flowing creative energy to pour into and through us and into our
lives.
As you can imagine, I've been meditating a lot in preparation for the retreat!!!
I've noticed that the deeper and more stable my grounding , the more potent my ability to concentrate and the higher I can rise into the "Light Shining Above"
during meditation (see definition of "grounding" below).
As a way to celebrate the ability to "ground" or "put our roots down", I leave you with this youtube link to a chant by Snatam Kaur called "Standing Like A
Tree" .
Sending love & light your way,
Georgette Star MA, D.Min
P.S. No matter where I am, or what I'm doing, I'm always thinking about how
I can contribute... Stay tuned in for some soul-stories from my recent meditation retreat adventures.
