Tuesday's Meditation - Collective Rest

I’ve been reflecting on Tuesday night’s meditation. It was a mighty group that came together to slow down, pause and find peace.

That came through in the energy and the desire that many expressed. Most of us are in or approaching a time of hustle, end of year crunchiness and adding more to our plates.

The group energy was seeking to remove or not add anything more. What happens when we do “nothing” together? What happens when you rest, meditate, and just BE with others in a (virtual) room.

We know what happens.

Many things happen when we practice together.

Sometimes that monkey mind is loud, yet, we continue to show up and practice.

Sometimes we get there very quickly and are able to enjoy the feeling for a bit longer.

The card I pulled from the Rest Deck said, “As I rest, I must make space for others to rest.”

An excerpt from the backside said, “Consider how you can share rest with a friend. …Collective rest is possible, you are not alone. “

This sums up why I love our Tuesday night meditation group. We show up, from anywhere in the world and rest in community.

What a joy!
