The Christmas Meditation

It’s amazing how things repeat themselves over and over again. You can change the subject, but never the feeling. The sensation is always the same.
The Christmas Meditation is the title of this post because I found it really interesting to compare this moment of the year with a single second of self-learning.

Why?

Christmas is the moment when you look to others with compassion, you finally see the person across the street more like your brother… someone like you. People gather themselves to help others in need, the whole family gets together just to be together. It seems that the whole world got better for a moment!

Meditation is an exercise you can train your mind to be more peaceful and alert. You can see things more clear and your so-called ego, is not that important anymore. Meditation let you more human to understand humanity. To understand yourself.

For those who never saw a person meditate, they are the ones whom are sitting at the beach, eyes closed, looking peaceful. They are exercising meditation.

But to meditate, like written above it’s a training. An exercise to transpose the peace and alert state of mind to our daily routine, fighting traffic, paying bills etc. (Between us, we don’t need inner peace and attention sitting at a beautiful and calm beach.)

What all this meditation thing has to do with Christmas?

I don’t know either… but would not be great if the person across the street was your brother all the days of the year?
