In this episode, we discuss the importance of meditation and how it can be accessible to all. Jacqui explains that meditation is a vital necessity. She emphasizes that meditating is an invitation to cultivate a relationship with oneself as the most important person in one's life. And if this is not the priority, other relationships will wane. We also discuss how meditation can be part of your day and not an addition to your day.
As always -this conversation with Jacqui is one of my favorites, she is always opening my eyes and heart to new teachings and I am forever grateful. Her words really are medicine. I hope you enjoy this. Here is my interview with Jacqui Deflorio.
Takeaways :
Meditation is vital. Actually, it's a vital necessity.
If you can breathe, you can meditate
The meditative state is our intrinsic nature.
If your relationship with yourself is not the priority then all other relationships will wane in comparison.
By not knowing ourselves as intimately as we are meant to we never actually touch our essence and thereby we're only half living.
Like Yoga, meditation is an inner size, not an exercise.
A committed daily practice of 5- 10 min a day of meditation is going to hone the skill or build the muscle necessary for that presence of mind and that presence of being in order to know what our purpose is.
Your breath is always with you, and your breath is a tool to drop into the self, slow down the moment.
Know your passion. know your purpose.
If you can see the path out in front of you, it's not your path. Your path is the one directly under your feet.
