“Sometimes when you meditate

Sometimes when you meditate, you just can’t meditate. This is how meditation deepens humility, acceptance and perseverance.

Sometimes when you meditate for ten minutes, it feels like an hour. This is how meditation makes life longer.

Sometimes when you meditate for an hour, it feels like a few minutes. This is how meditation enables you to get through difficult times quickly.

Sometimes when you meditate, you drop all the pains of the past and worries about the future. This is how meditation liberates you from your stories and narrow sense of identity.

Sometimes when you meditate, you are full of questions and doubts. This is how meditation teaches you to let your questions breathe and know doubt as simply doubt – which is a return to clarity again.

Sometimes when you meditate, you get answers to your questions. This is how meditation awakens intuition and natural wisdom and fills you with the confidence to face life.

Sometimes when you meditate the body unexpectedly jerks or strange feelings surface. This is one of the ways meditation releases deeply held tensions, cellular memories, suppressed emotions and traumas. Restoring equilibrium.

Sometimes when you meditate the mind just won’t stop – there seems to be an endless parade of thoughts and impressions. This is how meditation strengths metacognition – the ability to be aware of thoughts without drowning or being completely swept away by them.

Sometimes when you meditate, you feel you wasted your time, as you were all over the place. Then later in the day you notice you are less reactive, more at ease, more mindful and you smile an inner smile of recognition – nothing was wasted after all.

Sometimes when you meditate, you completely lose track of time and space. This is how meditation makes you ageless and timeless.

Sometimes meditation continues after you have finished meditation. This is how your whole life becomes filled with the clarity and peace of meditation.

Sometimes when you meditate, nothing happens, the meditator disappears and everything just is as it is in simple perfection. This is the fruit of meditation – entirely tasteless, yet sublime and free.

Sometimes when you meditate separation vanishes. Everything is consciousness, awareness, reflecting itself in endless diversity. Waves are known to be no different from the ocean. All resistance dissolves. You see your faceless face. The game of deservability ends. You return to being a happy nobody.
