Meditation is Spiritual Food
Recently someone wrote me the following question about staying in balance. So, I thought I would share my response.
Yanni,
I really want to invest in what matters. I no longer want to be side-tracked by thoughts, projects, or people who are not on my path. I am a unique soul with a very unique focus and I really want to explore my interests to the fullest. How can we live in the 5th dimension or higher right here and now?
Meditation helps me to stay calm and peaceful and feel connected to God and others. When days pass and I have not had the chance to meditate I find my self rushing and getting crazy and upset with how fast life is moving and with how much there is to do.

My response:
You've answered your own question, Mary. Just as fish can not live out of water and a physical body can not live without air, a spirit (which is what you and I are in essence) cannot live without meditating or connecting with our Source on a consistent, regular basis. This connection or communion with our Source is our spirit's food or air. Without it, we literally starve or die of asphyxiation. Yet many are living or should I say dieing in this way.
As well, by staying connected, you will find answers to all your questions regarding what to do next, where to do it, when to do it and with whom. By staying connected you act from a place of inspiration and newness rather than from your old place of stagnant default patterns. When you are in a place of connection, you open to allowing new thoughts, people and experiences into your life that are truly for your highest good.
Life can be new, fresh and joy filled moment to moment and day to day, if you keep yourself in a place of connection! So, do your best to slow down each day, take a few deep breaths and no matter what is going on get in touch with your Self. Then you will have found the key to living the "Good Life," staying in balance, and making choices in all aspects of your life that are for your highest good.
Hope this helps! Blessings! Peace be with you!
Yanni
