Beloved one, I will speak with you now about what is called meditation. There is not a day that goes by that you do not spend some time in meditation, for there are various stages of meditation. It only takes a moment as you pause in the first moments of your morning to see the beauty of the light that comes with each dawn — as you pause and reflect on the holy child that you see in the mirror — and allow yourself to relax and breathe in deeply the breath of the holy, living spirit that you are. Those are instances of meditation.

Meditation does not have to be a ritual of sitting in a certain posture for a certain length of time and lighting a candle or incense. These are beautiful additions to meditation, and they are beautiful ways of bringing one’s focus to connect to the spirit and love that you are, but they are not meditation.
