A Simple Meditation By Eliza Bicknell of Lotus Petal Yoga Often this time of year, around the winter solstice, the darkest time of the year, we may feel a little lost or depressed. Our culture tells us to draw outward with parties, food and shopping, but really this is a good time to draw inward. A good time to find meditation, the warmth of the soul. take a minute this time of year to really notice your thoughts. Where do your thougths come from? One of the Buddhist Diamond Sutras says "Out of Nowhere, the mind comes forth." What exactly does this mean? Our minds are constantly thinking and we are constantly getting lost in that thought. If we cannot control our mental chatter, we become victims of it. If we get too lost in thought, we get carried away from the present moment. Take a moment to check in. What is your mind telling you here and now? Can you let go of thougths and pay atttention to just this moment, sort of like a simple meditation? To see more clearly, you truly need to get out of the mind.
