And so it is with meditation.
Sorry Sandra :-) but there's another saying 'There's more than one way to skin a cat.' (Honest I am a cat lover!)
So if one way of meditating doesn't work for you, but you still feel you'd like to benefit from meditation, then experiment.
In the past I have talked about finding a quiet place where you won’t be disturbed to meditate, but for some that mind of environment would put them off.
A friend asked if she could dance while meditating in a workshop. No one minded so this friend danced round the room during four meditations that took place during the workshop.
Another member of the group asked how she could possibly concentrate while dancing, and her answer, ‘To me dancing IS meditation.’
So today my meditation message is brief. If you can’t relax in a quiet place to meditate, then find a way to meditate while doing something else that relaxes you.

I am reminded of the times when I was a child riding the school bus looking out the window, seeing nothing, somehow removed from my surroundings. I think I was meditating before it was a known means of relaxing the mind and body. If I could do that on a crowded school bus, just imagine the possibilities!
Jinny's comment reminds me of an older book - Chop Wood, Carry Water. Or is it the other way round? Anyway, the book's premise is that we can perform all our daily activities within a form of meditation. Maybe someday I will get there.
I love this blog. Thank you, Sherry!
Dancing through meditation I like it.
The saying....not so much.
Hugs,
I find that while I am working in the garden or doing some landscapping, I go into meditation,it becomes so relaxing and fun that time just stands still and I am one with the earth.
Good Blog.
