Thought I’d share the poem from tonight’s Online Mindful Movement &
Meditation Class
Let meditation not be another thing on your ‘to do’ list - something to feel guilty about when you don’t manage to find the time to do it.
Embrace the moments when you have found the time and recognise that you have been kind to yourself.
It’s okay to be kind to yourself.
MEDITATION: CALMING THE MIND (Excerpt) by Bob Sharples
Don’t meditate to fix yourself, to improve yourself, to redeem yourself; rather, do it as an act of love, of deep warm friendship to yourself. In this way there is no longer any need for the subtle aggression of self-improvement, for the endless guilt of not doing enough. It offers the possibility of an end to the ceaseless round of trying so hard that wraps so many people’s lives in a knot. Instead there is now meditation as an act of love. How endlessly delightful and encouraging.
