Writing for me has always been a way to explore the things best left unsaid. Even something as simple as a seemingly innocent blog post, is me processing life in my own way. Writing is a way for me to nonverbally vomit the thoughts that continuously stream through my mind. It is in a sense, temporary peace.
For whatever reason, I cannot write during the day. It doesn’t matter if I’m writing for pleasure or if I’m writing for school my best work is done at night. There’s something about writing under the cover of darkness that just makes me feel as if I’m siphoning all the excess thoughts and emotions away with the touch of a screen. Sadly just as quick as I type them out, they are replaced with even more irrelevant ramblings to obsess over. This is my life, thank God for meditation.
The simple act of sitting in relative stillness and focusing on breathing is still sigh a foreign concept to me. I’m learning to acknowledge the thoughts that race through my mind as I’m meditating, but not dwell on them. Oh I want to obsessively check my GPA? Okay not now, let’s exhale instead.
Meditation isn’t unlike prayer to me. Sometimes I sit and meditate on thankfulness and acknowledge everything good in my life. I set my intentions and throw my desires out into the universe. Manifestation is a real thing, start speaking good things over your lives. Meditation is my grasp on life, it’s my way of checking in on myself and saying “I’m here, I’m okay and I’ve got this under control”.
Final Quote:
“Meditation should not be regarded as a learning process. It should be regarded as an experiencing process. You should not try to learn from meditation but try to feel it. Meditation is an act of nonduality. The technique you are using should not be separate from you; it is you, you are the technique. Meditator and meditation are one. There is no relationship involved.” ~Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche
