Why do you Meditate?

I meditate for peace…

I seek peace within. When I create inner peace, my outer world becomes more peaceful.

I explore what meditation means to me. My meditation is unique to me. I practice what works for me regardless of what works for others. I am at peace with my meditation practice.

I carve out moments of peace throughout my day wether I am home or stopped at a red light. Just sitting and drinking my cup of Key lime tea in the morning can bring in peaceful thoughts of non-judgement.

A simple breath can bring peace. I return to peace as the calm after a storm.

I carry my peace with me. I think peaceful thoughts. I pause between thoughts to create space in my mind. I close windows in my brain when it becomes cluttered. I return to peace.

Peace is my state of mind.

I enjoy walking in nature to drink in peace from the fresh air. I sit in the sunlight to brighten my thoughts.

Walking barefoot and giving back to the earth reconnects me with the rhythm of life. I can feel the tree breathe. I breathe with the tree. I feel the energy of Mother Earth rise up and renew my peace.

I use water to calm my nerves. Whether it is a shower or a swim in the ocean, the water bathes me in peace. Simply drinking water returns me home to peace.

I always return to peace. It is my nature.
