The Inner Voice and Meditation

Open your heart and receive messages as feelings and attempt to recognize your inner voice from the chatter of your internal dialogue and listen to the suggestions of your inner voice. Those heart whispers can be small suggestions like a person to call or connect with, an urge to go somewhere or take part in something -- answer the urge, answer the call because on the other side of that suggestion  is a synchronistic opportunity that will move you along your path. Perhaps it is the person you must meet or the experience you must have to inspire your next work.

Your inner voice is always here, lovingly guiding you at every moment to go and do what is in your highest interest and it is necessary to quiet the chatter that obstructs your inner voice from being heard and acknowledged. Like all things of God and Divinity, your inner voice is a gentle whisper like the wind under the wings of a butterfly and to hear this inner whisper, the storms of thought must be calm for a butterfly cannot flourish on the turbulent winds of storm. 

Meditation is as simple as you decide it to be. Like most things that are meant to bring joy and vitality, there is not much effort to be applied and where stress and effort are applied, the graceful flow is obstructed. Do not fight the river of thought, flow with it and as the river widens around the bends of your mind soon enough you shall arrive at the expanse of inner consciousness and then you may hear: listen and be enchanted by your inner voice. 

If you are not meditating, you shall not understand the profound times. Daily meditation is exactly what you believe it to be and the ease of meditation is just a few thoughts away from changing the belief you hold about meditation. In other words, if you hold the belief "meditation is hard and I am not good at it", you can create a new belief by engaging with the thought "meditation is simple and I happily meditate everyday". How much easier would it be to engage in a meditation practice if it were met with joy and ease instead of all the lower emotions that are assigned to it?  Are you not the master of your life that gets to dictate the ease in which your life is run? Are you not the ultimate decision-maker on what is valuable and necessary in your belief structure?

Meditation is a point of focus and that point of focus can be applied to any number of places: internally to the point of zero, absolute stillness or perhaps pointed outside of yourself engaged in creative activity. Creative activity is always working with the Divine. As God is the ultimate Creator so too does God channel through you as you engage in the activities of creation, whatever that medium is for you. Meditation is not limited to a seated position with eyes closed, but again can be whatever point of focus you decide it to be. When you so intently focus on a project, artistic endevour or activity of the body, does all thought energy not cease as your internal energies are funneled into the task at hand? Do that everyday. Still the turbulence of thought and welcome the guidance of your Higher Self and choose to be guided in every moment of every day and stand in awe as your dreams begin to unfold before you. 

And so it shall be.
