The Channel




The word channel conjurs up many images in my minds eye like television channels, the English Channel, channeling your energy and channeling spritis. No matter what I come up with the same basic principle applies - a channel is an opening that runs through the middle of some sort of boundaries. By now you are probably wondering what channels have to do with meditation - hmm?

When we meditate we open the channel that is within us. We let go of negativity and embrace the new. We gain a realistic perspective on our lifes. Life on life's terms takes on new meaning. Meditating and having inner peace doesn't mean my life's gonna be whatever fantastical idea I conjur up - it means that whatever happens I can stand with grace and dignity. My roots are strong - planted firmly in the world around me. No storm can blow me over today. Just for today, I will sway in the wind and bask in the sunlight.

We are all channels for truth!

Blessings
