Practicing meditation and contemplation over the past 22 years has transformed my life. It has taken me to beautiful and bountiful experiences within the depths of my soul.
I am fascinated at how far we humans will risk our lives and journey into space, to the highest peak of mountains, and to the depths of the ocean for the thrill of it. And yet, how few of us take the most awesome journey of all, into the depths of our soul. It is an ongoing journey where more and more is revealed, where the peace that surpasses understanding is found, where we experience Bliss and see the light of God.
St. Augustine in the Literal Meaning of Genesis states "When the attention of the mind is completely carried off and turned away from the bodily senses, then there is this state called ecstasy . . . there the brightness of the Lord is seen."
Take time in your day to still your mind and be still. Meditation is a practice. Sit and breathe deeply and allow your breath to massage your inner being. Become aware of the pulsating life-force within you. Allow that force to meditate you. Breathe.
