When we approach life as an offering, we let go of the constant striving and struggling and we open to a deeper sense of peace, acceptance, and reverence for the gift of existence itself.
This week in the Wednesday weekly Meditation and Talk, I discuss finding deep peace and meaning by shifting one’s mindset to view life as an offering rather than a constant battle or pursuit of goals. Some key points I covered are:
- We can aim to “offer” our life, rather than striving or struggling. This involves letting go of ego and embracing a sense of service and contribution.
- In the meditation, I ask you to reflect on your life as a gift, to appreciate the good in your circumstances, and to feel a sense of gratitude and reverence for your existence.
- In the talk, I share how this perspective can help reduce stress, anxiety, and the tendency to be overly self-critical. This is a more grounded, compassionate, and serene way of being.
I hope you find it helpful, and you are welcome to join my free Wednesday Meditations – which are open to everyone!
