Traditional meditation is beneficial because it allows you to quiet your mind-chatter long enough to hear your spirit’s voice. But once you leave that space to go about your daily life, the calm of the meditation frequently gets left behind. At Adawehi, we teach a more practical approach to meditation.
Yes, there will still be the “sit quietly and listen” aspect, but by acquiring proper techniques, life can become a living meditation. Every aspect of your life can be lived with intent, even when the pressures mount and the noises increase. We call this “practical meditation for purposeful living.”
Please read on and let renowned Spiritual Teacher, Jackie Woods, introduce you to what she has been living and teaching for 30+ years.
In my early years of meditating, I would long for more time to spend in that quiet space. But as with most of us, my life was busy, busy. So I would crowd in my private time and then feel fortified to jump back into life. Then one day I said to myself, why can’t life be a meditation? And I proceeded to ask Spirit’s guidance in how to make that happen. And that is what I want to offer you.
Thank you for joining me in living a purposeful life! – Jackie Woods
The intent of practical meditation is purposeful living. That means your heart’s intent around each part of your life is able to be heard above your mental perceptions and your emotional upsets. Yes, re-fill times will be necessary, but these can be done while sitting comfortably in a chair. Age or body type is not an issue. Practical Meditation fits everyone.
