With healing – especially emotional or spiritual healing – people often expect to be able to make one BIG life shift and then, they assume, the healing is over. Wash your hands, you’re done. That’s not really how it goes, though.

Say you’ve been experiencing a slump in your life. You know things could be better! In fact, they have been better. You’ve heard of meditation and even have a little experience with it, but why sit down and do nothing when everything seems to be caving in on you? I’m glad you asked.

By imagining that “someday” is the answer, by not being OK with who we are in the present moment, we are coming from a state of lack. We are looking, seeking, running after something we don’t have. And this state of non-havingness does not bring us joy, fulfillment or happiness.
