“One of the best pieces of advice I ever got was from a horse master. He told me to go slow to go fast. I think that applies to everything in life. We live as though there aren’t enough hours in the day but if we do each thing calmly and carefully we will get it done quicker and with much less stress.”
Your thoughts on this @ura-soul ! thanx for the post !
Greetings! Yes, essentially, as I interpret the meaning here - I agree.
One of the most amusing truths regarding meditation is that many people will say 'I don't have time for meditation' - but once we value meditation and thus value peace and balance - we find that we are the ones who are creating time itself. By stopping creating time, we enter the eternal now moment and it is only by being fully present 'now' that we can optimally express our desires and do whatever we need to do. It is also through meditation that we can realise that much of what we think we need to do is actually just a 'want' that is itself based on error and false belief systems - usually motivated by fear.
We will live more hours and more days as a result of learning not to push ourselves (and not allowing us to be pushed by others) beyond what our feelings are willing to support.
Yes thanks for this reply it motivated me for doing medidation and i believe that once we get that peace and balance we are not loosing anything but infact gaining without greed and we are going to lead a peaceful life . I believe that what you are is what you emit to others if iam frustrated stressed out then thats my freinds will get and ultimately a chain reaction of frustrations, You know @ura-soul just by reading your reply it feels so calm and pleasing ! Hope to see your post in future !
Great, thanks for your comment - I like to read inspiring replies to what I share when possible. :)
Our vibrations do effect others, yes and sometimes it is a challenge to know who is the one that starts the feelings involved. My only comment about meditation is that I have seen how many people think that meditation means forcing a calm on themselves or denying how they really feel in order to meditate. To keep the balance it is necessary instead to use meditation to be receptive to our real needs and to listen internally to what is occurring in us. If feelings arise that need us to move, scream, dance, cry or any other emotional expression then it is wise to allow these feelings to express and to consider that part of the meditation. 'meditation' is very much like 'medication' and expressing emotions is also part of the healing process. <3
The Romans had an expression for this in Latin: festina lente, 'make haste slowly'!
