The practice of meditation has been around since the dawn of time, which is kind of ironic since many forms of meditation move us beyond space and time—the quantum field where, as I understand it, time is merely an illusion. That’s kind of way out there so I’ll back up a bit for those who aren’t familiar with or who have never delved into the beautiful art of meditation.
Without going down the rabbit hole of where it all began for me, I was challenged by one of my early mentors to start my own practice of meditation. So, I did a little research to get a better understanding of what exactly I was supposed “to do” during my meditation time. The answer I received was that I needed to “do nothing.” Ok, well that didn’t sound very practical, but I went along with it for a while and before long, I learned how to sit still and listen. I started to see my life in a different way and slowly began to feel more in alignment with myself.
I wasn’t always consistent with my practice, but I learned that if I skipped my meditation for more than a couple of days, I would slip back into old habits and didn’t feel as optimistic as I did when I made meditation a priority.
Then I was introduced to the work of Dr. Joe Dispenza and have learned a great deal more about the power of meditation and how the brain is affected by practicing daily meditation. What’s even more interesting is that the heart wants in on the action and through specific types of meditation, the brain and heart get together and can actually create massive change in the lives of people individually and collectively. This is a very simplistic way of sharing the background of my practice, but I truly believe in its power and encourage you all to include meditation in your daily life, if you’re already not doing it.
Earlier in September, I had the opportunity to join over 140,000 people from 174 countries for the first Walk for the World event, a global effort to heal the world. By bringing people together in peace, love, kindness, and compassion, the hope is to eliminate fear, anger, judgment, hatred, and all the chaos happening in the world.
You can learn more about the 2023 walk here.
Earlier in the year I wrote about my life-long dream of making an impact in the world and by connecting with Dr. Joe and the others of this committed Walk for the World community, I am still filled with hope that by joining together, we can change the world. See A World Filled with Peace.
