Why meditation is not always the best way to communicate with the Upstairs

I love meditation, but most of all I love simple meditation, that place you can go to within yourself, get clarity, guidance and real sense of peace. However, it is not the only way to get guidance.

Swimming for me is a fab way to connect with “The Upstairs” I find I often get my best guidance doing an activity, inspiration and communication just flows then. Doing my laps up and down, being in the water is heavenly for me and the time goes so quick so it takes care of my mind, body and soul.

So much pressure is put on us to meditate and whilst it is the key to spiritual development I don’t believe it is the only way to connect. It is not always about sitting cross legged and “omming”. So many struggle to meditate effectively.

What I teach about meditation is about slowing down, connecting and being open to receiving signs and messages.

Driving is another way to receive guidance, you are concentrating on the road but can allow things to pop into your head and get some answers.

Simple meditation like walking meditation, is another way. Activities such as watching a fish tank or the birds in the garden can also be meditate.

One of my other favourites is on a flame of a candle or watching a fire. Just allow your thoughts to drift and your mind to empty so guidance can come in.

When we are going fast in life, rushing around we miss our signs and message, being quiet and slowing down is away to let them flow in.

If you struggle with meditation it doesn’t mean you can’t connect there are so many ways you can do this instead. What is it about is making it work for you, making it fit into you the life you have now so it can enhance it.

When you go within and meditate your way, you will not wonder if you got it right. As that is a question I get asked all the time. Or maybe all you do is fall asleep in meditation if so try something different a way that suits you so you can receive all the guidance and support direct from “The Upstairs” yourself.
