Meditation for Busy People

“I know I should meditate. I know all the reasons that I should just sit”, Amy sighed

“But I just don’t have the extra time. I’m busy” she cried.

I had heard it before. Amy led a very busy life. She was a professional executive for a large company with many demands. On top of that she had a husband and two children who also wanted her attention. Between work and home Amy felt stretched to the max. add to that the fact she felt responsible for everyone’s happiness. It’s no wonder she couldn’t sit still. Let’s clear up a few of the common myths about meditation.

Going Within to find peace of mind

Why meditation?

How is this going to help me find solutions to my problems?

During the day we are constantly subjected to sensory input. Our minds are always in the process of thinking. We have conversations, write reports, read, watch TV, and solve problems, etc., etc. As we do these things we engage in a mental commentary, a sort of inner “The Drama of Me”. Most people aren’t aware of all of the mental thought activity that we are engaged in until we try to quiet the mind during meditation. We are so busy doing, doing, doing that we don’t take the time to really listen to our soul.
