every moment as part of your soul ’ s journey . You trust how it all contributes to your soul ’ s evolution which ultimately is about returning home , to the divine .

Sustaining a meditative mindset bypasses the brain and brings you into your heart center , a non-judgment zone . In this space of grace , you surrender to what is and release your need to control any person , situation , or outcome . You remain in continuous state of non-reaction and non-attachment as you go about your life . Mostly , you trust the divine unfolding of your life by leading with your heart and listening to soul ’ s guidance .

These simple sacred practices will accelerate your soul growth and assist you in meditating your life . They will also bring your soul ’ s guidance through your life in an ever-greater way . Some of these practices will enhance what you already do or they may be altogether new to you :

Meditation is more than a spiritual practice ; it is the foundation of a soul-hearted life . It is the sacred act of going within and connecting with the divine . As soon as you close your eyes , you go within yourself and your perspective becomes expanded and you connect to an infinite scope of reality . It takes you out of the three-dimensional ( 3D ) reality of the physical and brings you into the five-dimensional ( 5D ) reality of the spiritual . Meditation can be experienced in many different ways than simply sitting crosslegged on the floor . We all meditate differently and our inner experience in meditation is unique . What is important is you find meditation practices that work for you such as stillness , contemplation , focusing , prayer , or pausing to name a few .

How much time you spend in meditation will vary for you . For some , it may be an hour , for others it could be five minutes . The benefits far outnumber the time it takes to do it .

Simply close your eyes and you are drawn within , into your spiritual dimension where you connect to source / God / universal energy , or whatever you may call it . Set the alarm on your phone to remind you . Simply take five minutes at the beginning and end of the day to open your heart to your soul self and strengthen your connection with the universe .

Meditatively walking is used for spiritual centering , contemplation , and meditation . It is a form of active meditation which allows your mind to focus on your movement along the path . It helps you stay centered and in a state of grace while moving . Meditatively walking can be surprisingly calming and clarifying for your mind . Slow , intentional walking in a quiet place on a set path allows for a level of focus that can be difficult to find in your busy life .
