Turn It All Off
Spark #353 - How to meditate without trying.
Turn it all off.
The world can survive without your participation.
Sit outside. Keep your eyes open.
Let everything be just as it is. The sounds. The movement. Your thoughts.
Let it all come and go.
Then notice what remains.
✨P.S. Short meditation practices for busy days. Find them here.
I have recently started to "turn it off". First thing in the morning I go outside with my morning coffee and dog. I enjoy the birds chirping and the sun rising. Great way to start the day.
Yes, certainly, the world can survive without my participation, but can I survive without participating in the world? I meditate twice daily. Morning and evening. I do exercise snacks also to break up the day. Keeps me sharp for my work and play.
