"Let my soul smile through my heart and my heart smile through my eyes, that I may scatter rich smiles in sad hearts."
~ Paramhansa Yogananda, author of "Autobiography of a Yogi"
Do you remember what led you to meditation? Were you simply curious or were you seeking peace? It's good to revisit the basics of meditation to remind yourself of the richness of its classic techniques that have endured throughout millennia. You may be brand new to meditation, or you may be a dedicated meditator. This week you'll be guided as we launch into a series taking you back to the basics of classic meditation. You'll explore classic meditation techniques that provide the peace, energy, and clarity that meditation awakens within you.
This is day 6 of a 7-day meditation series, "Refresh Your Meditation Ritual," episodes 2397-2403.
THIS WEEK'S THEME: "Refresh Your Meditation Ritual"
Welcome to a special series designed to breathe fresh life into your meditation practice! We all start with great enthusiasm, but over time, even the most cherished rituals can feel a bit stale, a little routine. If your meditation practice has lost some of its sparkle, or if you simply feel ready to explore new dimensions of stillness and insight, you've come to the right place.
This series isn't about discarding what you've learned; it's about reigniting your curiosity, discovering fresh perspectives, and deepening your connection to your inner world. Discover new techniques, explore intriguing themes, and customize your ritual to make it vibrant and deeply fulfilling once more. Get ready to shake things up, rediscover the joy of stillness, and infuse your meditation with renewed energy and purpose. It's time to refresh, realign, and rediscover the profound peace that awaits you within.
