Why I meditate

Sometimes, life sucks. Sometimes it feels like an endless roller coaster that just keeps dipping and swirling, keeping you constantly on the edge of vomiting, knowing that a period of slowing down just means something faster and scarier coming up.

For my family and I, we have had too many years like that. Mental health issues, hidden trauma, physical health, abusive relationships, developmental differences, money, work, cancer ...

Yes, we have had more than our fair share of crap and difficulties. I would not wish any of this stuff on anyone.

These things contribute to who I am, what I have learnt, how I deal with new challenges, but they do not define me.

My cancer is not the whole of me. Neither is my anxiety or my physical limitations.

I choose who I am.

I choose how I respond to things.

Meditation helps me do this. It helps me to slow down all the noise in my brain and body. It helps me to breathe more deeply and spread oxygen throughout my body.

It helps me to focus on strong, positive and healing affirmations.

Meditation helps me to care for myself, something that I have put to the back of the cupboard, in a raggedy box, for a very long time.

Running meditation groups allows me to pass this on to others. It is never too late, or too early, to learn the importance of self care, mindfulness and positivity.
