The Power of Group Meditation 🧘‍♀️

Wow, I cannot even express how much gratitude I have for @naturalmedicine and @bewithbreath for the weekly mediations they are offering and the amazing community overall. This group has really brought my love for Steemit back as well as I have been inspired to write again after a big writers block for the last couple years.

Why group meditation?

I like to compare it to the rumi quote “You are not a drop in the ocean, you are the entire ocean in a drop”

Alone we are strong, together we are infinitely more powerful. Imagine what happens when hundreds of drops join together and harness the power of the ocean. The power of intention is real! And when people send out loving kindness, forgiveness and compassion you can feel it tangibly.

When I meditate alone I go at my own pace and don’t push myself too hard if I want to stop. Being led in a group really helps me commit to immerse myself into the experience.

I had my older son on Wednesday and he wanted to go to the park during my meditation so I was meditating on a bench next to him.

I knew there would be some distractions and as a single mom of three let’s just say I’m used to it 😅

He was very patient and he kept coming to hug me in the beginning when @bewithbreath was explaining the process. He then left me alone during the meditation. He knows how important meditation is to me and I taught him how to meditate when he was 3, and he respects how important meditation is to me.

The interesting thing I feel about the group meditation is the power in the energy that I feel. At first my mind was wandering and I felt frustrated with myself and @bewithbreath reminds us to focus on the nostrils and return to the breath. As simple as this sounds it isn’t as easy to do, and when I do that I feel a connection to all that is. The stream of life, the pulse of life. I feel in a group meditation it amplifies that feeling of connection with all that is.

Siddhartha found enlightenment staring at the waves of a lake. I feel the same about the waves of energy I feel when meditating. It’s like the pulse of life is right there and with people holding that energy from places all over the world it amplifies that feeling.

After our meditation I felt like a whole new person. All the anxiety had melted, I felt tuned in and I was clear and ready to focus. What a gift. Truly right now has been one of biggest transformations and heartbreak I’ve had to face in life and these group meditations have been an oasis for me.

A safe space to be and all I have to do is breathe? Perfect!

The power of the group for me is that I know I am being supported by these people and I hope they feel my support. It’s a group of beings spreading love and kindness out to the world and with all the craziness out there to me meditation seems one of the best ways to be the change I want to see in the world.

Thank you to all my #mindfullife community for your great content and support.

Feeling extremely grateful to connect with all of you 💜💕💙🙏🏻

I loved what Cion did with his meditation time, he played in the snow and for children I feel like meditation can be creating and grounding in with the earth.

May you all have a #mindful Monday! Lots of love 💜💙💕
