We started this meditation series, Are You Stuck, with the connective idea that the human body is a microcosm of the universe; that we can view the universe as a mirror image of what goes on inside.
And, we looked to the Voyager space expedition, in particular the experience of Voyager 1 in the Stagnation Layer of the cosmos, as a metaphor for how we might engage with moments of ‘stuckness’ or stagnation.
Interestingly, Voyager 1 went through the Stagnation Layer, and Voyager 2 did not.
Yet, 45 years after launch and 14.6 billion miles from Earth,
these two spacecraft are in the same place,
both doing exactly what they are supposed to be doing,
and both wildly, improbably successful.
I think there are 3 vital lessons for us within this statement 👇
1. Community is vitally important for our movement through Stagnation.
2. It is our engagement that makes these moments magical and rich rather than scary and confusing.
3. We don’t need to worry about what anyone else is doing or experiencing within their meditation practice.
Join me for today’s episode of Our Mindful Nature as we explore these three lessons and how they enrich both our meditation practice and our lived experience.
