Meditation 365 Challenge Day 16

Meditation 365 Challenge – day 16 of my challenge to meditate every day for a whole year and write / blog about my experiences

Oh the comfort of Rose Quartz 💕💕💕

Day 16 ….

I surrounded myself with the wonders of Rose Quartz today.

Both during my meditation and throughout the day too.

It’s a crystal like no other for filling you with soft comforting love and hugs. That’s why so many, including children succumb to its powers.

It has an eternal light bulb of energy. Not too direct, yet it fills you with love with its continuous glow.

I was obviously craving some comfort this cold morn but it got me thinking afterwards.

Do we actually learn and grow through something being comfortable?

Yes I was indulged in pure soothing comfort during my meditation today, but it wasn’t a challenge.

I have however, learnt how to grow and push myself through discomfort.

Open water swimming in freezing temperatures was definitely uncomfortable and to be honest really scary.

At first your body screams “you’re going to die!!!”

But you don’t, instead you feel empowered and amazing!

When I started this meditation journey, sitting down to clear my mind I rarely felt in the zone.

But I sat and waited patiently for this to pass and improve. Which it has, massively.

Even in the shower today I decided to flip the tap to freezing, just to see what that felt like.

Shocking obviously, but exhilarating too.

I’ve learnt that discomfort is your friend, not an enemy to fear.

It’s actually a good thing. When you’re uncomfortable, you are trying something new, learning things and expanding.

You’re becoming more than you were before.

Discomfort is a sign that you’re growing, and I don’t want to stop!
