11. Find Your Center - Learn to Meditate
The more faithfully you listen to the voice within you, the better you will hear what is sounding outside.—Dag Hammarskjold
Living on planet earth in the twenty-first century is hard on the soul as well as on the body. The stresses that bombard you from all directions, in addition to making you more vulnerable to disease, can leave you feeling unsettled and fragmented—out of touch with what you really want, what you really believe, and ultimately who you really are.
In order to stay happy and healthy, your soul needs nourishment, just as your body does. Many meditation forms are popular today because they are so nourishing. They aid in relaxation, concentration, and an attunement to deeper, more spiritual aspects of your self. Meditation is a process of locating your center of being, your temple of inner wisdom, your truest self, and learning to live, consistently, from that place. It is a way to re-collect your scattered parts. The word “meditation” comes from the Sanskrit word medha, which literally means “doing the wisdom.”
