InnerSelf's Daily Inspiration

October 24, 2023


The focus for today is:

The more I meditate, the more my life improves.

Today's inspiration was written by Joseph Selbie:

The more we practice meditation the more our life improves. Minor health issues may fade away. We may find ourselves more open, consider­ate, lovingly compassionate, and more spontaneously helpful toward oth­ers. We may find ourselves more centered and less reactive in our emotions. We may find that we flow through our day with less resistance. We simply become happier.

Meditation will make you feel better no matter why you are practicing it. A wise man once said, “If people only knew how good they would feel if they meditated, everyone would meditate.”

Meditate. Meditate regularly. Meditate as deeply and for as long as you can. Meditate. It will change your life.

This is Marie T. Russell, co-publisher of InnerSelf.com, wishing you a day of taking some time to meditate (today and every day)

Comment from Marie:
 Most people think you need a quiet spot to meditate, one where you won't be disturbed. While that may be best, you can meditate anywhere. When I lived in Miami, I had to travel once a week for about 1 1/2 hours on the bus. I would sit next to the window, and close my eyes and go into meditation. Since my stop was the last one on the line, I didn't have to worry about missing my stop. My point is that you can meditate whenever and wherever you can find some time to do so.

Our focus for today: The more I meditate, the more my life improves.

RELATED BOOK: Break Through the Limits of the Brain

Break Through the Limits of the Brain: Neuroscience, Inspiration, and Practices to Transform Your Life
by Joseph Selbie

book cover of Break Through the Limits of the Brain by Joseph SelbieBreak Through the Limits of the Brain connects the dots between the discoveries of neuroscience and the meditation-born spiritual experience. It debunks scientific materialism’s brain-based explanation for consciousness and intelligence—including the brain-as-supercomputer and artificial intelligence models—and explains the view of many prominent and open-minded scientists that an all-pervading intelligent consciousness is the foundation of reality—an age-old belief shared by saints, sages, mystics, and those who’ve had near-death experiences.
 
Meditation is a central theme of the book—what it is; how to do it; why it works; its physical, mental, and emotional benefits as measured by neuroscientists; and how it rewires the brain for superconscious awareness so you can achieve whatever you put your mind to. The book offers proven practices for bringing superconscious awareness into your life for success, energy, health, peace of mind, and lasting happiness.
