Often mentioned but vaguely understood, bliss is defined as an achievable, heightened state of awareness. It is the major benefit of a daily meditation practice, and the catalyst for a thoughtful, enlightened life.<\/span><\/p>\n

We dove deep into bliss before<\/a>, but here\u2019s a recap: Bliss whispers to us and reminds us of our true goals and encourages us to trust in our heart, to believe in ourselves and our circumstances, and pushes us to be the best version of ourselves.<\/span><\/p>\n

But knowing what bliss is often begs more questions: How do we achieve bliss? What\u2019s stopping us? How do we maintain the feelings of bliss when they seem temporary?<\/em> While you may have many different questions when it comes to accessing your bliss, know that it\u2019s much simpler than you might think, and that it takes very little to get started. <\/span><\/p>\n

One of the most beneficial things we can do in an effort to access the bliss within is meditation. The comfort of sitting still, the detachment from ruminating thoughts and calming your body down from a busy day\u2026 All of these things contribute to creating space within the mind, and ultimately, bliss. <\/span><\/p>\n

Below are some tips to get you started: <\/span><\/p>\n

Dismantle the Myth of Self-Care <\/a><\/b><\/h3>\n

Perhaps there are a few things preventing you from meditating, namely, guilt. Meditation is a form of self-care, a phrase that has unfortunately transformed into something that comes across as selfish. But self-care isn\u2019t green juice or buying material goods to fill a void. It\u2019s taking the opportunity to refuel, and therefore show up more completely for those you love. <\/span><\/p>\n

When we set aside time, even just fifteen minutes, to meditate, we are welcoming an opportunity to clear space in the mind and acknowledge thoughts and fears. Creating this space helps to eliminate stress, or quiet anxiety. Have you been able to make rational decisions regarding work, creative projects, or relationships when stressed? Often times, not so much. But through meditation, we can recharge and approach life\u2019s obstacles through a space of mental clarity, ultimately making better decisions regarding the things that matter most. <\/span><\/p>\n

Because you\u2019re now dedicated to taking this time for yourself, you\u2019re going to be even more available to those you care for, and to the world at large. You will have more energy, more passion, and more creativity for implementing all of the wonderful ideas that will occur to you in and around your meditation practice.<\/span><\/p>\n

Your meditation is a valuable contribution towards creating a better world.<\/span><\/p>\n
