Why do I meditate?

For several years now, I've adopted meditation as a part of my emotional development. Describing meditation to other, I always call it "defragging my mental hard drive", for it allows me to quiet my mind. Meditation settles my thoughts. Lately, however, I have not been as devoted to it, and that shows. When I am not meditating regularly, I am more on edge. My thought tend to jum around more, and the world seems a bit to hectic. My meditational recommitment has begun slowly again quieting my mind.

Imagine that the mind is a jar filled with water and a fine sand. When the jar is shaken, one has a difficult time separating the sand from the water although one can tell the two are different entities. Meditation stills the jar so that the sand will settle to the bottom. The water is then easily accessible.

I can only imagine how my life would have been if I hadn't adopted meditation several years ago. I thank the Universe for revealing to me this gift.

Namaste.
