There are over 8 billion people currently living in this world,
Each with their own unique sets of values,
Life experiences,
And inclinations.
We are wired in a way that is unique to us personally.
And that's a beautiful thing.
What really makes it beautiful is that it means that we can pave our own journey,
And through the adventurous spirit of growth,
Discover more of ourselves.
Sure,
Along the way,
We find our tribes that resonate most with us,
But despite this,
We are still different in our own ways.
We have unique needs,
And we see the world from our uniquely crafted lenses.
We find what works best for us individually,
And we hone in.
And when this chapter is over,
We explore a new path of self-catered discovery,
And so forth.
Life is not one continuous mission,
Even though in some aspects it may be,
Life is a compilation of various chapters that help us become more well-layered people.
And with that being said,
Meditation is no exception.
Don't let anyone fool you by saying that meditation is a one-size-fits-all practice.
There are literally thousands of different meditations that exist,
Each catering for our own individual needs.
For me personally,
Vipassana and Anapanasati,
Which is mindful breathing,
Work a charm.
For others,
Transcendental meditation may hit the spot.
You may swear by Yoga Nidra,
Or visualizations,
Or even a candle meditation.
There's no right or wrong.
But the point is,
You can learn so much about yourself through exploring which meditation resonates best with you.
It's part of your journey.
It's part of your self-discovery.
You practice what best applies to you.
Meditation is not to be forced onto anyone.
A good meditation teacher encourages you to explore what works best for you.
Sometimes the pursuit of your ideal meditation style plays a big part in your own personal growth.
Remember,
The journey is as important.
The journey being the pursuit of the right meditation.
So this is a reminder of your uniqueness.
If you find yourself practicing a style of meditation that doesn't resonate with you and you've given it a chance,
Then let it go and try something different.
Keep exploring and enjoy this fruitful process of self-discovery.
You were put in this world for a reason.
And when you do discover your meditation,
You can stick with it and grow with it.
Luckily,
We're living in such an incredible time.
With Inside Time as a vast library of meditations,
All brilliantly put together by some of the world's best teachers,

What a time to be alive.
