Meditation isn’t about becoming someone different or better – it’s recognizing the peace and wholeness you already are within, finding the sacred pause. Discover meditation as homecoming through Spirit element practices that honor your natural spiritual connection without forcing.
Channel 7: Spirit – Meditation and Spiritual Connection
Opening Nectar
“In stillness, we remember we are not the wave, but the ocean itself.”
Hey Bee’utiful.
With all the active channels flowing – grounded presence, creative expression, vital movement, emotional fluency, conscious breathing, and authentic communication – you’re ready to explore the channel that holds space for them all: Meditation through the element of Spirit. Today we discover that you don’t need to achieve some special state or stop your thoughts to come home to yourself.
Meditation isn’t about becoming someone different or reaching some distant spiritual goal. It’s about coming home to the awareness that you already are, resting in the recognition of what has always been true – remembering your sacred pause.
In our doing-obsessed culture, the radical act of simply being – without agenda, without trying to get anywhere or become anyone – is perhaps the most revolutionary spiritual practice of all.
The Connecting Truth
The Foundational Force: Meditation throught he element of Spirit.
The Active Process: Connection of Relating.
The Realm of Influence: Spiritually Connects & Transcends.
True meditation happens when you stop trying to meditate and simply rest in being. It’s not something you do – it’s something you allow. Like honey settling into perfect stillness, your consciousness naturally finds its way to peace when you stop disturbing it.
You are not seeking connection to something outside yourself – you are recognizing the connection that you are.
When You Rest in Being, You Know It
You’ve touched your essential nature before:
- That moment between thoughts when everything felt perfectly still.
- When you gazed at a sunset and forgot yourself completely.
- When you held space for someone in pain and felt connected to something vast.
- When you sat in nature and felt held by a presence larger than yourself.
- When you woke from deep sleep with a sense of profound peace.
- When love moved through you so purely that there was no “you” left.
In these moments, you weren’t doing anything special – you were simply being, and in that being, you touched the infinite, the sacred pause of the universe. You remembered that you are not separate from the peace you seek.
The Honey Process Applied to Meditation
Let’s explore how to work with restlessness, spiritual seeking, or feeling disconnected from the sacred:
Welcome It
“I accept whatever arises in this moment of sitting”
Notice whatever is present – thoughts, emotions, sensations, restlessness, sleepiness. All of it is part of the meditation. You don’t need to have a “good” meditation to be doing it right.
“I see that my mind is busy/my body is restless/I feel disconnected. I welcome this as part of the practice.”
Embrace It
“I hold this moment with unconditional love”
What does inner stillness feel like when it’s present? What does connection to your deeper self feel like in your body? Can you rest in whatever is here right now with the same tenderness you’d offer a beloved child?
Let yourself be exactly as you are, without trying to fix or improve anything.
Unfold It
“What supports my natural sense of connection?”
Get curious about what helps you feel spiritually connected and what pulls you away from your center. Your inner wisdom knows what it needs to feel at home in itself.
Maybe it’s silence, maybe it’s gentle music, maybe it’s being in nature, maybe it’s candlelight. Trust what draws you into presence.
Surrender It
“I let go of the need to have any particular experience”
Allow the need to feel peaceful, enlightened, or spiritually advanced to soften and flow away. Let yourself simply be here, exactly as you are, without needing anything to be different.
Meditation is not about getting somewhere – it’s about being where you are.
Emerge From It
“I remember I am the peace I seek”
In meditation, you discover that you are not separate from the divine – you are the awareness in which all experience arises and dissolves. You are the space of consciousness itself. You are the sacred pause.
Sweet Practice: Honey Stillness Meditation
This week, practice “Honey Stillness” – settling into awareness like honey finding its natural rest:
Sunrise Sitting (Start with 5 minutes, build gradually)
Create a simple daily sitting practice:
- Sit comfortably – chair, cushion, couch – whatever supports you.
- Close your eyes or soften your gaze downward.
- Feel your body settling like honey slowly coming to rest.
- Notice your breathing without trying to change it.
- When thoughts arise, gently return attention to breath – no fighting, just gentle redirection.
- If you get lost in thinking, simply begin again – this returning IS the practice.
- End by placing hands on heart in gratitude for this time with yourself.
Remember: There’s no perfect way to meditate. Showing up is the practice.
Walking Meditation
Take your practice into gentle movement:
- Walk slower than usual – let your pace match your breath.
- Feel each step connecting you to the earth.
- Notice the world around you with soft, open attention.
- Let walking become prayer – each step an offering of presence.
- Practice being present with movement rather than getting lost in mental planning.
Sunset Reflection Practice
Before sleep, sit quietly and:
- Review your day without judgment – simply witnessing what happened.
- Notice moments when you felt connected to something greater than your personal concerns.
- Appreciate times when you offered kindness to yourself or others.
- Rest in gratitude for your spiritual journey, exactly as it is.
- Feel yourself held by the same presence that moves the stars.
Real Talk: When Meditation Feels Difficult
Meditation challenges are often about our relationship with ourselves and our expectations:
“I Can’t Stop Thinking”
This is the most common “meditation problem” and it’s based on a misinnerstanding. The goal isn’t to stop thoughts but to change your relationship with them.
Try this: Instead of fighting thoughts, practice noticing them like clouds passing through the sky. You are the sky – vast, spacious, untroubled by whatever weather passes through.
“I Feel Too Restless to Sit Still”
If sitting meditation feels impossible, your body might need movement before it can settle.
Try this: Try walking meditation, gentle stretching, or even lying down meditation. Some people need to tire their body before the mind can rest. Honor your unique needs.
“I Don’t Feel Connected to Anything Sacred”
Sometimes spiritual dryness is actually a deeper invitation – an opportunity to find the sacred in the ordinary, the divine in the mundane.
Try this: Start with what you can feel – gratitude for your breath, appreciation for your body, love for someone dear to you. The wisdom of the sacred pause is often found in the simplest recognitions.
“I Fall Asleep During Meditation”
Falling asleep can indicate that your body needs rest more than meditation, or that you’re trying to escape into unconsciousness.
Try this: Meditate at a different time of day, try meditating with eyes slightly open, or practice walking meditation. Sometimes the body’s wisdom is asking for sleep rather than sitting.
Meditation as Homecoming
When you approach meditation as coming home rather than going somewhere:
Sitting becomes refuge – a place where you’re always welcome exactly as you are.
Breathing becomes prayer – a continuous conversation with the mystery of being alive.
Silence becomes fullness – pregnant with presence rather than empty of content.
Difficulty becomes guidance – showing you where you’re still trying to control rather than surrender.
Peace becomes recognition – not something you achieve but something you remember you are.
The Spirit Ripple Effect
When you cultivate a genuine meditation practice:
Your presence becomes a gift to everyone you encounter because you’re at home in yourself.
Your responses become more conscious because you have space between stimulus and reaction.
Your creativity flows from deeper sources because you’re connected to the wellspring of inspiration.
Your compassion expands naturally because you see that everyone is struggling with the same human condition.
Your wisdom emerges because you’re listening to the intelligence that knows beyond thinking.
Your Meditation Invitation This Week
I invite you to approach meditation like coming home after a long journey – with relief, gratitude, and no need to perform or achieve anything.
Try the Honey Stillness practices, but more importantly, find moments throughout your day to simply pause and be present. This is meditation – not just sitting on a cushion, but remembering to rest in awareness wherever you are.
Trust that you already have everything you need for this practice. You are already the peace you seek.
What’s Next
In our next post, we’ll explore the eighth and final Channel of Consciousness: Sunlight through the element of Soul – recognizing the light of awareness that you have always been.
But for right now, just breathe. Feel yourself settling into this moment, into the stillness that is always available beneath the surface of activity. Notice that you are already at peace, already home, already the awareness you seek, already the sacred pause.
Honey Quote to Carry With You: “In stillness, we remember we are not the wave, but the ocean itself. You are not seeking connection – you are recognizing the connection that you are.”
