Why meditate? I could drop a list of benefits, but I don't think that would move you much. So let me instead try and share my own motivation. "We have two lives, and the second begins when we realize we only have one." - Confucius This is the only chance I get. I hold in my hand the infinite beauty and mystery of a human life. So much potential for Freedom, Strength, Love, Kindness, Compassion, Joy, Truth, Gratitude, Connection. I will not throw this away. I will sit in the drivers seat of my life. And the more I unlock those parts of myself the more awstruck I get over the treasure that I am. “A beggar had been sitting by the side of a road for over thirty years. One day a stranger walked by. “Spare some change?” mumbled the beggar, mechanically holding out his old baseball cap. “I have nothing to give you,” said the stranger. Then he asked: “What’s that you are sitting on?” “Nothing,” replied the beggar. “Just an old box. I have been sitting on it for as long as I can remember.” “Ever looked inside?” asked the stranger. “No,” said the beggar. “What’s the point? There’s nothing in there.” “Have a look inside,” insisted the stranger. The beggar managed to pry open the lid. With astonishment, disbelief, and elation, he saw that the box was filled with gold. I am that stranger who has nothing to give you and who is telling you to look inside. Not inside any box, as in the parable, but somewhere even closer: inside yourself.” - Eckhart Tolle, sharing a classic story Meditation is my key and it's my deep pleasure to share it with you! You are that which you are longing for.
