How rapé contributes to meditation
The practice of meditation is complex, sometimes it is difficult to dedicate the space, have the attitude and the time to meditate. Even if we know the great benefits that meditation gives us and its importance it can be hard for us. And then when we have managed to sit down or prepare ourselves to meditate, the struggle begins; an internal struggle between our thoughts, our body's tensions, our energy blocks, our accumulated emotions, among others. Sometimes we spend the 20 minutes or the hour we have allocated for meditation experiencing body tensions, struggling with our thoughts, making a great effort to stay awake, and we cannot meditate. Sometimes meditation time passes, and we cannot repair ourselves, we do not feel fresh, we do not feel that we have had a space of pause and intimacy with ourselves, and we feel the same or even worse, because we are frustrated as we have not received the blessings and benefits of meditation. There, rapé is our great ally, rapé is a support, it is one of the master tools and resources to practice meditation and it is the direct bridge to the meditative state.
( Meditation )
We reach a meditative state to feel present, to re-inhabit our body, to be present in our being and in the physical place where we find ourselves. When we enter meditation we are alive, full and present and we reconnect with what is essential to our being and our life. In a meditative state we can be calm and satisfied with all that we are, listen to the inner voice that connects with the wisdom of life and that guides us to places of well-being and determination. We can be comfortable of being ourselves, having what we have, doing what we do, it gives us great confidence to assume our life as it is and to know we have the necessary resources to manage any change. During meditation a gentle reminder comes: the feeling that we are loved showers us like soft rain.
