The Unsteadiness of Stones: Understanding Time and Timelessness in Meditation {part 3}
In this third installment of the "Steadiness of Stone" series, host Meryl Arnett guides us through a fascinating exploration of time's flexible nature and how meditation reveals timeless awareness beyond our everyday linear experience.What You'll Discover:* Why Einstein and modern physics prove time is relative - and how meditation shows us this truth* The difference between chronos (chronological time) and kairos (mythic, timeless moments)* How dreams operate outside linear time and what this teaches us about consciousness* Why expecting specific outcomes from meditation leads to disappointment* How to recognize and fall into timeless states during your practiceFeatured Meditation Practice: Experience a unique circular breathing technique designed to help you step out of linear time progression and into expansive, timeless awareness. This 15-minute guided practice uses breath visualization to move from linear spine breathing to circular flow, ultimately releasing into pure presence.Key Takeaways:* Meditation naturally reveals time's fluid, relative nature* Some insights come as sudden knowing beyond logical progression* Timeless states can't be forced but emerge through consistent, non-expectant practice* Both anxiety-filled and blissful meditations demonstrate time's flexibility* Circular time and loop theory suggest past and future may be illusionsPerfect For: Meditators curious about the deeper mysteries of consciousness, anyone struggling with time anxiety or meditation expectations, and those interested in how ancient wisdom aligns with modern physics.Resources Mentioned:Carlo Rovelli (Italian physicist)"Divination and Synchronicity: The Psychology of Meaningful Chance" (Jungian psychology)Poem: "The Three Oddest Words" by Wislawa SzymborskaReady to explore timeless awareness?
