Finding My "Meditation of Sorts"

August 29, 2025

Personal Blog - aka, My 2 Cents

The swing in front of the waterfalls gently sways as I sit and listen to the sounds of nature. It's a meditation of sorts. For so long, I thought meditation had to be a certain way—on a cushion, in a quiet room, with a specific app guiding me. I’d try, and often fail, to quiet the constant hum of my neurospicy brain. My practice often felt more like another thing on the "to-do" list.

But somehow, my meditation practice has evolved to this—where I can just stop and sit and listen. It’s a profound shift from forcing quiet to simply finding it. From structured discipline to embracing the moment.

My journal is near, but before I reflect on the last 24 hours and the kind of magic I'd like to see next, I am simply being. This isn't about being productive or planning the next big thing. It's about grounding myself. It's a gentle rebellion against the pressure to always be "on."

I feel the warmth of the sun on my skin. I feel the support of the swing seat beneath me. I feel the softness of the pillow touching my knee. I feel and see the wind gently move the leaves in front of my eyes. It's as if they're waving to say hello.

In the background, I hear a beautiful combination of birds chirping, water flowing, a creature rustling through the garden, and the ever-so-slight hum of traffic in the distance. My senses are happy, and I am feeling at peace as I see beauty all around me. This peaceful way of being, even for just a few minutes, brings so much solace to my soul—the kind that a well-earned sigh brings.

If this feeling resonates with you—this longing for simple peace amidst the chaos of life—I'd love to hear about it. What are the quiet, unexpected moments that bring you solace? How do you create space for yourself to simply "be"?

Let's find our peace together,

Sonya
