Finding Your Center: A Gentle Guide to Soul-Level Meditation

When life pulls you off balance, here’s how to find your way back home.

You know those moments when life sweeps you away, and suddenly, you find yourself somewhere you never meant to be?

I’m talking about this from an emotional and soul sense. In an effort to support and show your boundless love to your family and friends, you can become off-centered. Saying “yes” too often or following the crowd can leave us drowning in commitments while paradoxically feeling more disconnected than ever. This is precisely when we need to pause and remember who we truly are at our soul level. This is why we need meditation.

For all those beautiful souls who depend on us—those we care for so completely—we can drift from our center without realizing it. The daily addition of “just one more thing” slowly transforms into something that changes us, leading us to a place we never intended to go: a space of sadness, irritability, and disconnection.

Consider the time you take to recenter yourself, your energy, and your viewpoint as a precious soul mending. We need these moments of accepting our soul lives within a human body, and sometimes humans are ALOT! 

When we talk about meditation, know that my meditation and your meditation can look very different. For some, it’s a walk on a beach with their dog; for others, it’s early morning coffee on the patio. I love the 5:00 am meditation with earbuds attached and a journal by my side. Whether it’s 20 minutes or an hour, disconnect from the world so you can reconnect to your soul. Remember who you are and who you want to be. Release other people’s “stuff”. Dwell in your relaxed meditation to release all the “stuff” stuck to you. Relax and release.

The beauty of meditation is your new realization that you have been moved off your center. Someone or something moved you away from your calm, relaxed center, but now you have time to consider how to respond. You know who you are without compounding one thing on another and losing sight of yourself. You are present to each thing that comes up, and you can respond thoughtfully to stay centered. This is the gift of meditation.
