Divine Mediation

A New Year invites fresh starts, and a refreshing way to begin each day is with Quiet Time of a spiritual nature. The purpose is singular: Stillness.

Let’s call it Divine Mediation. A daily appointment with the divine laws of the universe may be the missing event in your Google calendar. Attitude has everything to do with keeping a routine of Quiet Time in the New Year. Here are three points of to consider.

1. It doesn’t matter how long you meditate, just that you practice it daily under all conditions and circumstances. “Take two breaths and go back to sleep,” is my 5-year-old’s definition of meditation.
2. Set your alarm for a designated time for it each day. Experiment with ideal times. Drop everything at the appointed time as if it is an emergency. Driving, get off at the next exit.
3. As the daily quietude takes on a life of its own, you’ll come to rely upon it. And that will provide all the momentum and motivation you need. Trust it.
