When to Meditate

To meditate is good. This is a well-known fact. If you meditate, you will be calmer,more peaceful, able to think more clearly, and not so stressed. You'll probably live longer, too, but who can really prove that? These are some of the more popular advantages.

The downside of meditation is that you have to make the time to do it. There, I said it. Why aren't we all meditating all the time if it's so doggone good? Because we're busy, that's why. We're busy making money, eating out, going to the movies, watching TV and things like that.

And another thing, it's a drag to feel guilty about not meditating or meditating enough. I'd like to have a Euro for every time I've heard meditators say, "I should meditate more." I don't think the inventors of meditation meant for it to be used as a reason to feel guilty or as a "should." We have plenty of reasons to feel guilty and more than enough "shoulds" without it.

So the question becomes, when do you meditate? How do you fit it into your busy life?

The meditation I practice is the Modern Day Meditation which is a very powerful practice. The thing about this meditation is that it takes you deeper into the truth. And when you go deeper into the truth, anything can happen. This is not the kind of truth that you swear on the Bible to tell. This is the Truth with a capital T. It doesn't follow any rules or regulations. It does not conform to societal norms. The Truth is the Truth and it doesn't care if you like it or not. There's no "spin" in the Truth. So getting down into that can be an exciting ride into the unknown. The unknown, as in where God resides.

So once you start to meditate and touch into the Truth, you will find your way to meditate more often in self-defense. Your life will change in an extraordinary, but not always fun, way and you'll need to keep meditating to find out what needs to happen next.

So the answer to the question about when to meditate is: Now. Or if not now, then as soon as you can sit in your car (not while driving) or on your bed or in a meditation center somewhere. Just sit down, put on the music that moves you and meditate.
