I felt this truth so strongly this month that I can’t deny it any longer.
I don’t know if it feels like good news or bad news at the moment, but it’s emphatically true for me.
MEDITATION IS NOT OPTIONAL.
If you are a person who wants to:
– be happy
– be in a fulfilling and healthy relationship
– evolve spiritually
– realize greater wisdom (not just speak about it)
– quieten the mind that keeps you stressed, working too hard, procrastinating and/or anxious…
MEDITATION IS NOT OPTIONAL. For any of us.
Is that good news or bad news for you?
Since first learning a meditation practice 20 years ago I have resisted this knowing all my life. Even though I teach a powerful form of meditation all over the world, especially for women wanting to develop their feminine energy, presence and levels of joy in their body, I have resisted my own daily practice. There have been times when weeks turn into months of not meditating — and boy, can I feel the difference.
For the last 3 weeks I have been meditating in a particular way that has me feeling strong and more than 20% happier during my day. Insights come, and worries go away. Spontaneous combustion of my heart chakra happens with the smallest joys. I feel more powerful and free, in the truest sense of those words.
No denial anymore.
Given my commitment to take time every day to meditate, I wanted to share in this week’s Awaken TV episode the most enjoyable way I have found to meditate over the last 20 years.
Watch it here and let me know what you think below the video.

Thank you this has helped a lot when I meditation from my mind wondering.

When I meditate in drumming, I feel more energized throughout the day and more focused on whatever comes to me that day.
Thank you, Rachael Jayne!

dearest Rachael, may i say something ?.. i feel very strange that the idea we have in the west about meditation is totally the opposite from what it is in spirituality… specially in yoga … whereas the west consider “meditating on something”, focusing on something which occupies the mind … yoga says that meditation is actually a state: the state of being empty of though, empty mind… and it is a state which is difficult to grasp but possible, it is that state which brings us in contact with what is precisely beyond the mind, beyond the rational perceptions, actually this is Silence. and in this silence, everything things is possible… for me this is meditation, and i use tools to get there …. om shanti 🙂
I agree! I love how you say “I use tools to get there.” I find when I meditate on the inner energetic space of my body and being it often spontaneously takes me to the place you are describing. It’s taken years of practice to easily reach that, but for me it’s come to training with embodiment practice and with training my mind through meditation. Thanks for sharing.
with much LOVE 🙂 om
