Welcome to the Mountain!
So good to have you back at Mountain Zen Den, the place for connecting with Nature for mindfulness and Personal Transformation, naturally!
It’s a New Season!
“We’re back! Today starts the beginning of a new season here at Mountain Zen Den.
If you’re looking for inspiration to help you move forward in every area of your life, you’ve found the right place. Daily inspiration from the mountain, in a natural setting here by the river, to help you get centered and find your balance for whatever you are going through.
You know, finding balance and living a life of Excellence takes time and intention. Life gets in the way, as they say, and it’s important to focus on what you want and intend on having, doing or becoming, not just fall prey to whatever is in your immediate environment. That’s just another reason why spending time in nature is so important. It has a calming soothing effect on the mind, body and soul.
But today I want to talk to specifically about You!
How are you doing? Are you where you want to be in life? Does your life look like what you thought it would at this point in your life?
Are you growing, or dormant and dying? Are you happy and satisfied that you are giving it your very all, knowing that you are becoming the best version of who you can be?
You know, it’s important to ask questions. There’s a scientific, psychological reason that we need to do this if we want to grow.
When you ask questions you set into motion the thought process of solving a problem. Like a dog chewing on a bone, the mind is constantly working on solving problems and answering questions. It’s what the brain was designed to do. That is why it is so important to ask the right questions,
Some questions are simple and have simple solutions:
“What am I having for dinner tonight?” Or “What time do I need to get the kids to their soccer game”?
But then there are the BIG Life Questions. The deep ones that, for one reason or another, we may tend to avoid.
As we go into this meditation we are going to ask The 3 Soul Questions…probably the most important questions you will ever ask yourself in this life.
So as we dive into today’s meditation I will help guide you into having a dialogue with the Universe, and then encourage you to simply Listen as you sit in silence and breathe. Don’t worry if no answer comes to you immediately. There is no need or place for anxiety here. The truest, deepest, most meaningful answers will come in time. You can rest assured in that.
In today’s meditation we ask The 3 Soul Questions:
“Who am I?”
“What do I want?”
“Why am I here?”
(In other words, “What is my meaningful contribution to the Universe? Why am I here? How can I serve?”)
Don’t worry if the answers don’t come to you in this meditation. Just ask the questions and allow them to sink deep within, trusting that your soul and the Universe, the Supreme Being, or your Creator, whatever you choose to call It, will work this out together. Remember, it is a dialogue. Ask and then Listen.
