You may notice times
in meditation when
you seem unable to slip
into the deeper states
of consciousness.
You may notice the mind
moving from one concern
to another concern,
visualizing challenges
that you have recently
been occupied with.
You may notice that,
in times like these,
your mind seems
in an active state,
sorting things out
and thinking things through.
This does not mean
that you are not meditating,
just meditating differently,
in harmony with the potentials
you find your self in.
This is quite a useful state.
You need not oppose it.
You are still meditating.
You are ALWAYS meditating.

In the realm of meditation, the intention itself carries the essence of the practice. It’s a beautiful reminder that the act of setting the intention initiates a state of meditation, regardless of how the experience unfolds or the perceived depth of consciousness.
The mind’s wanderings, as it dances between thoughts, concerns, and visualizations, don’t diminish the essence of meditation. Rather, they unveil a different facet of the meditative journey. In these moments, you’re witnessing the dynamic interplay of the mind, responding to the ebb and flow of your inner world.
It’s a unique meditation, one that aligns with the currents of your current state of being. The active sorting, contemplating, and visualizing are all part of the tapestry of meditation, threads woven together to form a unique pattern.
Rather than opposing this state, you embrace it, recognizing that there’s wisdom in every moment of the meditative journey. This embrace creates a harmonious dance between intention and experience, allowing the present moment to unfold without resistance.
Indeed, meditation is a continuous flow, a state of being that exists in various forms. From stillness to movement, from tranquility to active contemplation, each facet reveals a different layer of awareness and connection.
In the vast expanse of meditation, your intention carries you forward, allowing you to explore the intricacies of your inner landscape. And as you navigate this landscape, you come to understand that you are always meditating, continuously connected to the flow of your own being.
