Slow awakening

Today was the tenth day in a row that I practiced drums. Some might call that a streak. I’m learning. Slowly. It reminds me a lot of when I first started meditating every day. That began with six minutes a day on the Insight Timer app. At the time, I didn’t realize the brain and body circuitry that was forming, that would first allow me to build and strengthen a relationship with spirit, then hold a frequency of healing to assist others. When I was mediating for six minutes each day, I had no idea how I’d one day be able to connect to all of consciousness with intentional breathes. Isn’t life exciting like that?

Ten days in. What will my drumming practice look like three years from now? I have no idea. What I do know is that it’ll be a slow and steady ride.

I think it’s easy to think spiritual awakening happens in some sudden moment. But I think more often, it’s a slow build followed by moments of clarity. Do you have six minutes a day to get to know your soul?
