A Peaceful Day
Calm is not something you hold on to. It is what is left.
All Meditation Benefits
Not a day without problems. A day that does not shake you.
Most calm is a technique: breathe, count, step outside, get through it. It works for a few minutes, and then the day takes it back.
A genuinely peaceful day is different. Nothing is holding the calm in place, because there is nothing left underneath that needs managing.
These are the things you can let go of
- Irritation carried over from yesterday
- Rehearsing everything that could go wrong today
- Comparing your day with everyone else’s
- The small grudges collected on the commute
- The pressure to be productive in every hour
- The tension you are holding without noticing it
The Releasing Method
Peace is your original state, not an achievement
Calm is not added to you. It is what your mind is when the accumulated stuff is not sitting on top of it — which is why holding calm in place is so tiring, and why letting go is not.
Discard what has piled up and peace stops being a fifteen-minute practice you fit in. It becomes the ordinary condition of your day.
What changes
- The morning starts without a sense of dread
- Small annoyances stay small
- You are actually present with the people in front of you
- Your evenings belong to you again
- You stop needing to recover from every ordinary day
Most forms of meditation attempt to bring you to a state of calm presence but don’t deal with the underlying reason that you lack calm in your life. Toronto meditation centre deals with the root of that dis-ease or lack of peace, enabling you to more easily live in and enjoy the present moment.
