Meditation: Becoming Simple and Transparent

As you reflect on your spiritual life you can ask yourself: What do you know in your heart about the truth of life? Do you actually need more knowledge than this, or is this simple fundamental wisdom enough? What keeps you from living simple truths you know? What would you need to let go of to do so? What confusion and fear interfere with your compassion? What strength and trust would be needed to live life wisely and well? How would you change your life so that your body, heart, and mind might become more unknowing, transparent to this light within? Can you imagine knowing less and becoming wiser?

Let yourself sense a simple loving presence you can bring into each moment. Be aware of how your spiritual life can guide you toward this.

This meditation is taken from the book, “A Path With Heart“
