I’d like you to forget about meditation and all the stories and expectations you have in your mind about it. I want you to let go of the idea of clearing your mind and stopping your thought. Give all of that up. Instead relax into yourself and enter an intimate space within. Enter it with openness, honesty, and sincerity. And as you sit and look within yourself you will see different layers of you emerging. Memories, emotions, thoughts will start to flood your awareness because you opened the gates for it to happen. You are here to allow it, to let it all unfold. Hold the space of compassion, understanding, and acceptance for yourself and others. As the moments pass and we allow everything to flow without filtering, a clear sense of who we are and a deeper relationship to ourselves will slowly come to surface. The time has come to find ourselves within.
