If you ask me why you should practice meditating and I replied, ‘because it’s good for you’, would you practice? Of course not. That form of amateur persuasion doesn’t even work on children and vegetables.
Instead, consider what happens in other areas of your life if you practice meditation.
Practicing a deeper connection and engagement with your heart, your spirit and your right side of the brain, positively affects your focus at work. Instead of wasting time or simply putting out fires all day, a solid meditation practice prepares you to apply a steady mental focus on the important priorities at work.
Instead of the same-old-same-old relationship with your partner and your child, practicing a deeper connection and engagement through meditation serves to strengthen the core of your relationship with your loved ones. You’re able to tune into them, with heightened intuition and profound care, offering them your full attention.
Deep engagement embraces your mind, body and emotions. You can see and feel when someone is deeply engaged with you. They are connected, tuned in and often brightly turned on.
Your meditation practice literally practices and develops your deep engagement abilities. It’s as though it’s a rehearsal for life. What you can do in meditation, you can take out to the rest of your life. And as the rest of your world grows richer, more alive and real, your practice refines and expands in layers of complexities that multiply into a more liberated fullness in your external life.
The creative practice becomes something more than a practice over time. It becomes a force, a power, and a purpose. And in the act of awakening and developing social, emotional and intuitive intelligence, it becomes the non-judgmental art of paying attention with the heart.
