Our meditation focus this week is Finding Peace.
In our mad rush world, it is often difficult to find a moment to call our own. There are so very many things to get done that we often forget to take time out to recharge our energies when they become sapped by our day to day stresses.
However, too much of this stress can cause serious physical and mental problems. When we allow ourselves to become too overwhelmed with work and other stresses, we use all of our stored energies, leaving none within to sustain us when we truly need it the most. Most people define the loss of those energies as a nervous breakdown.
Instead of saying to yourself, “I just don’t have the time,” try making some time just for you. Many fellow SelfSpirit path walkers find that time by going to bed a little earlier and getting up a little earlier, while the rest of the household is asleep. Some retreat for a brief five or ten minutes to their personal meditation space, blocking everyone and everything out for a short while in order to meditate.
No matter how you choose to regenerate some positive personal energy, try to make time each day to do so. Even if it’s only five or ten minutes.
Our mantra this week:
(Remember, this is only a suggested mantra. You are welcome to use whatever comes to your mind.)
Regroup, recharge
No rush, no stress
I am, I can, I do.

You need not say it out loud if you don’t want to. Just a silent repeat in your mind will work. Personally, I do speak it aloud, in a gentle, quiet voice.
