Pebble Meditation

We are participants in the wave of universal energies. We are emotions, intelligence, physicality, soul, and senses.We are as powerful as the sun and as delicate as a tiny creature.  We are inter-dependent: our earth, sky, and inhabitants of life helps us to live.

May we bring forward our intentions of respect.

Pebbles are the result of nature's intelligence. They are a great tool to help ground our individual energies.  As simple as it may seem, there is profound connection available.  The ceremonious or mindful act of selecting pebbles can be the "water current" of intentions. The heartfelt intentions (thoughtfully embraced, while holding these pebbles), can provide awareness and connection.  Breathing deeply, you may realize (and eventually recognize) earth mother and spirit are one. In this realization, you open the gates to the ethereal reality of the present moment.

Thich Nhat Hanh, a practitioner of mindfulness, provides us a very simple tool to engage breath!  It is called, "Pebble Meditation." When you are overwhelmed with the negative, try to utilize this meditation technique. (Unpublished Works, 2014) Madeline A. Gouin
