Reflection: Meditation Builds Self-Reliance

Many of us try meditation to feel calmer and be healthier. With regular practice, the health benefits can be remarkable. Regular meditation also gives us the chance to grow something much more powerful: self-reliance. Could Netflix, pajama pants, and a cold beer do that?

Soooooooo GOOD. Our brains, always interested in doing things most efficiently through shortcuts, grasp onto that which we do often ( beer, pjs, weed, shopping etc) to effect our relaxation response. Then we do that frequently, repeatedly and think/believe there is no better/ other way. You have (I have, many here have) found the calming, grounding ways of meditation to bring on peace by just breathing and grounding. Thank you for this meditation reminder dear James. I love the timbre of your voice, your calm timing and gentle suggestions. (Are you from Canada originally… I hear a slight accent from our Northerners neighbors…).
Blessings to you.

Listening to you is very inspiring and grounding. Thank you so much!

Nice reminder of the power of meditation and how it can improve your life. Thank you.

Great Reflection!

I loved this perspective. I hadn’t realized how much self-reliance is fostered through meditation. But as I contemplate this meditation I have found that this is absolutely true for myself as well! Thank you!

Great insight. Thank you Jason 💜x

Thank you for your words, these are appreciated 🙏 I long to be more peaceful and will increase my practice.

You described most of the changes I personally have felt and observed in my life since I started experiencing meditation. Your talk is one to be passed on to people who urgently need to practice silence. Thank you.

I agree! You summed up the benefits well in 3 minutes. Thank you. You have confirmed that I'm on the right track.
