Meditation is the key

I have to meditation in the am. Make a schedule and stick to it my teacher says. So, most of the time I do pretty well.....sometimes I just feel like a fetus. Curled up, eyes closed, looking for someone/something to provide the nurishment. I guess that is what one looks for with addiction of any kind....food, work, drugs, alcohol....if one can make something else/someone else responsible for the peace that one experiences......outer nurishment is attained. To be born, to grow up, to take responsibility...what ever it may be......life. My musings are about the connection to the divine, higher soul, spiritual oneness, God, primodial muffin with all of us being the chips or whatever one pictures as the place where we are connected and the place that is unchanging. My yoga teachers teacher allowed one question on his 100th birthday. That question was "on what to meditate" Isvara Pranidana (sp) was the answer...in essence God, the quality of God with in you....the connection. This is what is unchanging and in which we can put our being/trust......everything else changes....is not constant.....and is in the process of each day of life is one day closer to death. This life we have a little bit of our God-essence poured into this body. The more in union we are with that essence...the closer we are to the purusa...the Unchanging observer that is within us all......it allows us to tolerate prakriti....or the material. The material being that which changes...our emotions, our thoughts, our aches, pains...our stuff...our attachements....scans....ups and downs.....the life that we live day to day. It is all energy....and like all energy....if fluctuates, changes, is high low and is always in flux. Yoga, meditation allows a piece of sanity in it.....fortunately.....meditation is as easy as pushing play on the CD player or my Ipod. So, I'm off for yoga practice to get the body ready to meditation...and to meditate. Then for a day of work for which I am very grateful to BMS. Thank you for being part of my life in this day to day practice. xoxo lg
