We are reaching the end of the year and this Scorpio season is when I tend to become more reflective on life. I think we all can get so caught up in the day-to-day experiences and it can be valuable to find a few moments to breathe, sit and be still.

I’m not sure about you, but I’ve been so caught up in the “doing” of life lately. Thinking about money and finishing school and completing all of the goals I have set for myself. It can be discouraging at times to think that I am not where I want to be yet. I know we can all feel stressed and discouraged at times. For me, I have to remember that none of it really matters. Everything is just fine the way it is and it’s no use getting upset over things that haven’t happened yet or wanting instant gratification.

I titled this meditation “The Path to Yourself through Silence” because I truly think that in order to see what is behind the curtain of our own minds, we need to pause and be quiet. Outside of anyone else’s opinions and outside of what we do during the day, what is underneath all of that? What is behind all of the “doing” we find ourselves so involved in. These quiet moments of contemplation are so crucial for me in my day to stay mindful and present in my life.

I would invite you to take a few moments of silence for yourself and just check in. No judgement to what thoughts is coming up for you. Observe yourself in this quiet place and thank yourself for this quiet moment of contemplation.
