When it comes to meditation, oftentimes, we are asked to close our eyes and seek silence. Isn’t it funny that when we want to “see” more we close our eyes? Isn’t it interesting that when we want to hear more we need to seek silence? This is because our answers are found within and not “without”. The universe within is far greater than the universe on the outside. The divinity of our soul truly does offer all the answers. Our task is to learn how to silence and remove the outside forces preventing us from going within ourselves. The outside noise can distract us, and even prevent us, from hearing the beautiful music within.

If we can let go of the many distractions on the outside that often offer no real solutions, we can hear our inner voice and find the solutions we seek.

In moments when push comes to shove, we tend to look for an instant fix to our problems. We all tend to look for someone to save us, a pill to cure us, or a solution from someone who we think is smarter. But with the support of the Universe, we can go within and connect to our own sacred and all-knowing divine spark. Inside each of us lies all that we ever needed. Inside us is a treasure trove of gifts. Inside we find the answers we seek, the solutions we need, and the courage to fight our fears.

Sometimes all we need to find it is to let go of all the distractions.

This week in your meditations, seek a quiet place and close your eyes. Go within. Breathe deep slow breaths. Become aware of the divine spark of the Creator inside of you. Connect to your inner Light. Feel the great wealth within.

And if you ask a question and listen quietly enough, I just bet you’ll hear an answer.
