A hot tub for the mind

"Imagine a hot tub for the mind. That is what meditation is; it can bathe your mind in relaxing thoughts."

-- Eknath Easwaran

With today’s fast pace of life, too many of us don’t have any sense of how it feels to be free of stress. It’s difficult to relax if we have physical pain or irritation, strong negative emotions or scattered, worrisome thoughts.

The practice of meditation helps us find the peace within that is so elusive in our outer world.

"Sometimes the most important thing in a whole day is the rest we take between two deep breaths, or the turning inwards in prayer for five short minutes."

-- Etty Hillesum
The reading I posted today about a Hot Tub for the Mind has stayed with mey.

I would like one for my whole body. Yet never thought of my mind as needing a good 'soak' too.

It doesn't matter what our choices were in the past or in the future. When we meet a roadblock, come up to a wall, or the end of a road, we often need to stop, connect with our Higher Power as ask for help.

In order to do that, we need to clear our mind, let go of all the chatter and inner dialogue. I need to get out of my own way so my God can work through me. In order to do that, I need to cleanse my mind of anything that gets in the way.

Easy to say, but not always easy to do. It takes practice, practice, practice.

Glad that this link still works. I know certain things, but senility and seniority often makes me forget. I do this in short form some times, but don't always give it much thought unless I go to the Holistic center for a treatment.

May the White Light heal you and cleanse you of all things that are not in your best interest in your life, just for today.
