The Most Powerful Vacation You Can Take Anytime
Dear Mom,
I miss you!
I hope you’re doing really, really well. I finally found a quiet moment to send you a life update from my journey – and oh boy, do I have something magical to share. 🌟
You won’t believe what I discovered – I’m so excited to tell you! 😊
Imagine this: a vacation that requires zero planning. No flights, no bookings, no stress. No packing, no schedule juggling. And guess what? It costs absolutely nothing.
Yup, zero dollars.
But the best part? This vacation is already happening.
Right now as you read this.
You might’ve missed it – I know I did, for years. But now that I’ve found it… I just had to tell you.
Let me explain.
This vacation is available to all of us at any given moment, it is our birthright. It’s like taking a tiny trip right into the heart of life - Into the heart of our own aliveness.
It is flourishing and smiling at you as you read this -
It is waiting with open arms for you to make space for it -
It is holding your hand and playing its sweet harmony of peace for you to pay attention.
No passport needed. Just a little pause. A deep breath. A moment to remember that you’re alive. A moment to stop for a few seconds racing through life. To stop doing and start just being.
The vacation is called “meditation” and it empowers you to do just that.
Meditation is the mode of transport that brings you to this wonderful vacation destination.
It is the space between your thoughts -
it is the space around your thoughts -
It is the space your thoughts are made of.
It is a space that's kind and full of wonder.
I know this sounds crazy but you have to try it. I’ve been visiting that place more and more. And the more I go, the more I feel at home. Life is so peaceful here, I feel nourished, free, and it seems there is so much to discover!
And the coolest part? There’s no right or wrong way to do it. You can sit or lie down, or even stand or walk. You can close your eyes or keep them open a little. Please keep them open when you are walking 🙂. You just breathe, feel, notice. That’s it. You’re already there. Relax into being the silent witness of whatever shows up - likely many thoughts - without judgement.
It is totally up to you how often and how long you wanna be vacationing. I find that already 30 sec opens the door to this healing space that's always here.
And don’t forget to put on a little smile 🙂
It's vacation in the end and there is nothing to achieve or do.
Love you so much, Mom.
I wanted to share this because I really believe this kind of inner vacation could change everything. For all of us.
With a heart full of love, Mathis
