Sit. Stay. Heal.

When we have turmoil in our lives, our first impulse is to run, avoid, get away. By facing what the difficulty is, we can come to terms with it, acknowledge it, and lessen its power over us. Meditation is a wonderful tool to ease problems that arise in our daily lives. We can't always run away and meditate when something comes up to stress us out during our day, though, and that is why daily meditation should be practiced routinely, first thing every morning. When we learn to "sit, stay, and heal" first, the stress is lessened and dealt with more calmly later. When we begin our day with calm, we carry that with us into our everyday activities. I have found I even mow the lawn more peacefully :-)
Have a peace full day!
