Inspirational Quotes About Meditation

Heart centered prayer and meditation. Learned religious or spiritual prayer and meditation are fine, do them if that’s what works for you. But in my own practice, I have found heart centered prayer and meditations to be most effective in bringing about memorable experiences.  By heart centered prayer and meditation, I mean using your heart and soul to lead you through the process. Once in the meditative state, allow your heart and soul to set the intention, ask for the guidance, listen, and offer gratitude.

Morning prayer and meditation. I highly recommended spending, at the very least, 5 minutes immediately once you awake in prayer and meditation. This assists in setting the intention for the day.

Evening prayer and meditation. Meditation and prayer before going to sleep is also key.  Some people go to sleep with the TV on, some reading a book, still some others with a hundred thoughts crossing their minds, none of this type of behavior is truly helpful in obtaining the types of experience and connectedness you are looking for. So go into prayer and meditation before going to bed. Make it heart centered. Offer from deep in your heart gratitude for all you have, then stop and listen.  As any friend would want you to listen to them, so too would God, Life-force, the Creator, or any other self actualized spiritual being you choose to pray to.

Imagine your day being the base for your meditations.  If your days are filled with judgments, a horrendous outlook, anger and pain, then how do you think this will translate into your meditation practice? For just one moment, one honest moment during your day, forgive and pray for one person who in the past you would have judged. My dear friend, do this with your full heart and soul but once in your life and you would want no other way. Make your day your workshop, your time for conscious meditation. Forgive an action you would have once judged. Send a blessing to someone you might have once criticized. Lend a hand to someone you would have once not paid attention to. Give an honest complement to a person you might not have noticed before. Let someone into your driving lane. Pray for someone who appears to be having a bad day. My dear friend, if you understood the countless possibilities for miracles during your every day you would swear you lived in heaven. And my dear friend, you would then take these experiences and energies into your meditation practice and you would find no doors or barriers or any other ego mechanism that would separate you from your Creator, from that Life-Force you know to be your true home.
