I remember how hard were my first encounters with meditation. My mind was constantly wandering around, any kind of thoughts would suddenly appears and my imagination was following them, playing with them, and soon I was drifted towards a complete day dreaming.
I thought meditation wasn’t for me, my concentration was so little, I got quite easily dispersed. Until one day, I realized it was exactly the opposite: I needed to practice the stillness, I needed to create more focus, I needed to get in control of my mind.
I’m still in the learning process, and I will always be, but I made peace with my wandering mind. It is said our mind are like monkeys, jumping from one things to the others. Thoughts and emotions would constantly arise but our real job is what we do with them. Do you let them guide you or do you take back the control of your mind ?
Today, while following a guided meditation the teacher said something that resonates so deeply with me :
“Allow any thoughts or emotions that comes up to be like a little bubble, peacefully floating away” 🫧
In this special month of peace and gratitude, I wish us all to become more aware of the rise of our emotions and more in control of our mind, words and actions 🤲
