It’s like they’ve been told “There’s this beautiful, magical fruit. It’s red on one side and blue on the other. To get it, you have to go to this forest and walk this many miles and wade through this lake and push through bramble and… But eventually, you’ll come to that bush which has the fruit and as soon as you see it, you’ll know it was all worthwhile and when you finally bite into it, you’ll experience such ecstasy”.

Well, as long as you’re fixated on the fruit and getting to it, you’ll never be present enough to experience the joy and the ecstasy of being in the forest and experiencing the peace and tranquility that you will naturally fall into if only you took your focus off the fruit and instead remained completely present!

Get what I mean? In short, drop all preconceptions you may have about meditation and the ‘meditative state’. Just do it and be as fully present as you can while you’re doing it. When your mind wanders away from its set point of focus e.g. the breath or a sound or a light, just gently and lovingly bring your mind back to its set point of focus. Keep doing this no matter how many times your mind wanders -THAT is the practice and your WILL feel the benefits on so many levels.

Please feel free to email me if you would like help with meditation. Also, have you checked out my meditation audios? You’ll find them on my ‘Listen’ page.

Best always, Lucy

Very informative post about it; especially since I was talking to a friend about wanting to begin meditating again last night at dinner. Symptoms of panic attacks
