How We Meditate Without Realizing It

You may not levitate gold fish out of fish bowls in a trance state, but you often meditate when you don’t even realize you are doing it.

Meditation isn’t always sitting with your legs crossed, chanting “ummmm,” and trying to astral-project yourself to another dimension. Rather, meditation is a simple and easy tool for taking a moment to realize who you are. It’s nothing more, nothing less, and a whole lot more common than many people realize.

We don’t necessarily like to define ourselves by the chaos in our lives. So mediation is a way to relax and remind ourselves of the peace we want to bring to our lives. It’s a way to remind ourselves who we are beneath anything we don’t like about ourselves. Meditation is a way to escape the unwanted paths we may helplessly stumble over so we can define ourselves in a new light and a more confident direction.

When you take even a few short moments to realize that you can find a better, more calm, relaxed, and put-together version of yourself – beneath all the tension and chaos in your life – then you can see things aren’t so bad after all. And if we can’t remind ourselves there is some sense of hope and peace to guide us in our lives, who can we expect to always do it for us?

Meditation invites a greater potential…

This is why meditation is so important, even in its simplest form. Its the simple reminder to ourselves that, “We are more.” The more we let the chaos in our lives get to us, the more it becomes us. Conversely, the more we interject our lives with meditation, the more we can remind ourselves who we are and who we choose to be amid the chaos. By doing so, we can bring this clear thinking into our daily doings, thus bringing fruition or the best damn version of ourselves we can even conceptualize.

Like anything . . . practice makes perfect. The more you practice getting to into that more put-together version of yourself, the more you will live it. So you see, meditation isn’t just for the Buddhist monks, or for Bruce Lee before he gets in a sparring match (God rest his karate-chopping soul). Mediation is for anyone, anytime, and anywhere. Meditation more simple than many people may realize.

But most importantly, the way you meditate is up to you. Would you rather practice getting flustered from everything in your day, day after day? Or would you rather practice finding a sense of tranquility and higher expression of the best version of your self? Meditation carries the latter. And meditation is the ladder each of us carries to climb to our highest potential.

Here are five reasons why you might be guilty of meditation:

  1. If you’ve ever put on your favorite music in the car and just chilled out for a few moments, you might just be a “meditator.”
  2. If you’ve ever purposefully taken a moment to daydream, you might just be guilty of meditating.
  3. If you’ve ever escaped from your workday for just five minutes to have some time to relax your mind, you’re guilty of meditating.
  4. If you’ve ever found yourself in a state of peaceful, still reflection in a fond memory – you’re guilty of meditating.
  5. …And if you’ve ever sat with your eyes closed and levitated your pet goldfish out of his fish bowl – chances are, you were probably mind-deep in mediation – no doubt about it.

    Prayer is every moment of your life as you think…what you think of every moment is your prayer that you manifest into your life every day.
    MEDITATION: also may be every moment of your life..as you live…through the inspiration of your heart, this is where truth resides..there is a little organ much like a brain, in the middle of your heart organ, where the secret truely resides..the secret where onlyTRUTH resides..this is where the ” “LANGUAGE OF LIGHT” resides. When we listen to this language of light, this is where DIVINE mind and HEART connects to all of humanity. This is the place of truth and light..
    This is the place where ONLY YOU AND GOD may communicate with YOU. It is through this we are able to pay attention to the truth ..where Divine inspirations communicates to our souls.
    This is why, I say meditation is every moment of your life when you follow your heartinmotion. You may listen to your heart every moment of your life, and it learn to become co creators with DivineLOVE . We are not alone when we are able to listen to this language of light and overcome many of our human challenges..and circumstances through this channel of communication..meditation may be every moment of our lives to help us manifest the PROMISE of heaven on earth.
