When I heard about meditating on impermanence I resisted the idea. It sounded really depressing - thinking about how everything flowers then fades away, dies and disappears. ...All things eventually. ...Even you. Why would you want to focus on that?

The reason is because it's completely liberating and joyful.

I thought that if I felt into the truth of how impermanent everything really is, it would be frightening and empty. I would feel alone, lost and insecure .

..but what I've found is the space that open's up from this practice is not empty, it's full of pure, positive energy. As you let go into it, you start to get in touch with an eternal part of yourself. You realise that your body is the smallest part of you and you really are part of something so much bigger. It feels great!

And as for all the things that won't be here for long, that you could love and lose, or miss terribly, or feel without....

Well, you feel like you can love them all the more
Delight totally in their poignant beauty
Appreciate them completely, just as they are.
Be with them fully, now - in this moment.
It's a fantastic gift of life.

There is enormous warmth, freedom and joy in the great space of being. I give thanks to all the wisdom teachers and meditation masters of old who have shared this amazing experience through all their wisdom ways. I give thanks to my Chi Master, Master Yang who is so patient with me and my practice.

Happy Easter everyone, Or happy Ostara - whatever you celebrate.

warm regards,

Margot
