– Deepak Chopra
It’s amazing how shifting into a higher spiritual perspective instantly erases my worries and quiets my mind, how it centers me in the now and paints the world in beautiful colors. It’s the same world that had me upset or anxious moments before, of course; the difference is that I’m now remembering that what really matters is indestructible, and that peace is available to me in every moment. We are all so much more than the mundane stuff we worry about. The more we look for the bigger picture and the higher plan behind whatever may be happening in the moment, the easier it becomes to relax and trust that all is well. This is one of the greatest benefits of meditation; it blesses us with the distance and objectivity to see the big spiritual picture and how all the little things that tend to worry us are integral pieces of a beautiful whole.
