Having just come out of a 30-minute silent meditation with a wonderful group of souls from the Zenji platform, I feel a deep sense of upliftment. I’ve been on this journey for the past 32 consecutive days, and I realize now that I cannot afford to let it go. My life has been craving this consistent, day-by-day practice for a long, long time, and I was completely oblivious to how much I needed it until now.

I’m not claiming that meditation has solved all my problems or that everything is suddenly “happy and peaceful.” What it has done is shift my perspective—allowing me to see everything as it is without feeling the need to be swept up in the tension or anxiety of it all. It’s not about escaping; it’s about seeing and accepting.

Things in my life are becoming more ordered, and for someone who has had ADHD tendencies (not officially diagnosed—just a deep sense of knowing), this is significant. I used to resist the idea of order, rebelling against it with thoughts like, “Who wants an ordered life?” Little did I know that finding this sense of structure was exactly what I needed—to truly set me free.

Free from the constraints of tension, chaos, judgment, and suspicion.

Just this morning, I found myself sitting in my hotel room, waiting for an appointment. Normally, this would be a time of frantic rushing, stressing over every detail to ensure I arrive on time. But today, there was no rush. I simply breathed and felt the quiet focus that meditation has gifted me. I realized that everything is already in order. Everything is okay, just as it is.

During the last ten minutes of my meditation, most of my thoughts subsided. It was just me and my old friend, my breath, resting together in stillness. Ahhh, this is what it’s all about. Thank you, meditation, for reminding me.

If you’d like to know more about our meditation class, feel free to drop me a line.

Love,
Jason
