83 days and still going strong...



The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.--Lao Tzu

So thus I have begun my journey into the valley of my soul. My intent was to blog about my meditation experience for 365 days. So technically I am 83 steps into my journey! That is an amazing feat of it's own. I am prone to giving up on things because I become bored or distracted but this meditation journey is different. For one thing I can't possibly become bored...it's a valley into my own soul...and that's a place where I could never be bored - there are too many things to discover and uncover in there.

Very early this morning I awakened when the sunlight was barely peaking through my window. I stumbled into the kitchen drank my 1/2 cup coffee and slid out back into the hot tub. The hot tub is a wonderful place for beginning my talk with God. I think God likes being invited into the hot tub. Then I went into the meditation room and practiced mindfulness meditation. I was still and filled with much peace.

In the meditation room I have found a place to quiet and still my soul. I reach out and touch the spiritual energy of the universe and hold it gently as I go through my day. I am becoming centered - body, mind and spirit. What a wonderful journey!

Blessings.
