So often in life we are asked for our opinion on a topic or our stance on a particular event, a person, or idea. And while

saying that we like one side or another or dislike or like one thing or another or a person or

another feels like those are the only options. But this is a false choice. We don't have to attach

our mind to one belief.

Andy Puddycombe of Headspace shares that, quote,

the danger of holding on too tightly to a particular belief or idea is that in order to do so, we have to limit the mind, end quote.

And so curiosity cannot exist in a limited mind. We're basically shutting the door on

curiosity when we say, oh, I absolutely agree with this and forever will believe this, and this is how I will

always do this and how I always see things. We shut down curiosities wanting to be a part of our

life. By the very nature of being curious, we need to

allow the mind to be free to explore ideas, follow what tickles it, and be liberated in its

wanderings. Meditation shows us how to hold our mind open and shares with us how to be comfortable with entertaining

many ideas without clinging to just one. Because when we cling, we close down our ability

to see all sorts of aspects of life from different perspectives. A curious mind is limitless, and it sets us

free to discover what will bring us to life, perhaps something we never before thought possible.

It is in embracing curiosity that we find our way, our way to true contentment of a lasting peace that can

forever and always be with us.

Find a comfortable place to rest.

Gently rest your gaze on a spot in front of you and start to breathe naturally.

Taking a deep breath in, letting it fill your being.

And then slowly exhale, letting it all out.

Keep breathing naturally,
