Sitting In The Void

I’ve been experiencing more restlessness lately as I shelter in place. This spills over to my meditation practice. My practice is to allow my mind to relax into the sensation of “being” I’ve come to love when I meditate. I’ve learned these times are necessary for me. Meditation often provides clarity for my day as I listen to the messages from my soul. During many of my recent meditation sessions, I’ve found myself sitting in the stillness without getting many messages, impulses to do something, inspiration  nor other sensations. The space feels flat and I must work to sit in the stillness.  I sense that I’m sitting in the void, the nothingness. When I sit in this space I’ve learned to trust that movement will eventually come from this fertile space of gestation. I sit with my awareness. Eventually answers, ideas or impulses show up - it may take several days or weeks. Creativity begins to flow again. There’s much to be learned in having to surrender to sitting in the no-thing-ness and be patient. Much like life during COVID-19. I sit in the void wondering what life will be like afterwards, trusting my creative energy will flow and answers will come. I’m grateful to have the tool of meditation especially at this time. Does meditation help you?
