Meditation
I am a non-traditional meditator! I have little patience for sitting still. I meditate in the great outdoors and connecting with my surroundings! The ground beneath my feet. The sun upon my face. The wind breathing across my skin. The motion of movement and being active. That is mediation that works best for me!
It is good for my health and happiness as well as my wellness and well being! I feel the stress melting away and becoming more energized. I feel more productive and motivated. I feel calm, centered and balanced again!
The greatest gains for me are presence and mindfulness! I can quiet my whole being. I can get out of my head and unplug from technology. I can be present with me, myself and I!
Some of my best thinking is done in the great outdoors or sleeping! I think I have more “a-ha!” moments while sleeping. However, my creativity comes alive when I am out exploring and adventuring!
I become more observant when I am out in the great outdoors! I am alert and exploring my surroundings in detail. I am engaging my senses. I am more aware and present!

Gosh I wish I could convey in words the frustration I felt as I started to learn how to meditate. I though mediation was something you did sitting Indian style in a tunic or robe of some sort singing OM AAAHH UUUMM LOL I’m glad you fund your happy Meditation place! And A bit Jealous!

Renee I do both. I love to walk and soak up nature and the small moments around me. I also love to sit still and lose myself in a meditation. I have a very active brain and so I don’t pressure myself to lose all thought. I try to let thought come and go and I relax deeply. Meditation is new for me but I am finding the more I am still the better I get at it. Have a wonderful day.

It does indeed but it sounds like many people try it and feel like they fail and so give up. I just go with the flow of each day.

Going with the flow is a GREAT approach and mindset to have 🙂 Happy Weekend – Enjoy!
