Meditation isn’t about trying, It’s about noticing
We often hear people say, “I’m trying to meditate.” But here’s the truth: If you’re trying to meditate... you’re missing the point.
Because effort, the act of “trying”, comes from the mind. And meditation is not about the mind doing more. It’s about awareness watching the mind.
Effort blocks awareness: When you “try hard” to meditate, you're just adding more noise. You're thinking about how to sit, how to breathe, how to feel. But meditation isn’t something you do. It’s something you notice. It’s not about doing. It’s about being, fully present, fully aware.
Observation over identity: True meditation begins when you become the observer of your mind, the part of you that notices thoughts instead of being led by them. And here's the twist: The moment you call yourself a "meditator"... you've stepped into a role. An identity. A story.
But meditation isn’t a role. It’s not a title. It’s a state of awareness that happens in any moment, whether you're sitting still or moving your body.
Meditation can happen anywhere: You don’t need incense or silence or lotus position. You can meditate while walking, cooking, dancing, exercising. Because meditation isn’t about being still. It’s about being in flow. Being aware of your experience, instead of trying to control it.
Inner Work + Outer Work: Want to do the inner work? Amazing. Just don’t forget about the outer work. The environment you live in, both physical and mental, shapes your biology, your thoughts, your feelings.
And guess what? There’s no real line between your “outer” world and your “inner” world. That separation is an illusion created by the ego.
It’s all connected. You are a system, not a split.
Let’s do the work: Together
If this message resonates with you, if you're curious about how to align your biology, your awareness, and your environment... Let’s grow together.
Because the work doesn’t start in silence. It starts in awareness.
