Day 10 - Living Contentment
“I think we should be working for contentment . . . an inner sense of fulfillment
that's relatively independent of external circumstances.” ― Andrew Weil
that's relatively independent of external circumstances.” ― Andrew Weil
When we speak of spiritual contentment, we mean more than
just feeling satisfied with the circumstances of life. Too often that
kind of contentment includes a tinge of resignation as well. Real
contentment is the happiness that at your core, all is well in your
world. In this state, you are aware that you have everything you need
right now to feel good about yourself, others, and life. Even with outer
conflicts and uncertainties, your core existence is settled,
self-contained, and you know you possess whatever is needed to meet any
situation. Living true contentment is more than confidence, it is the
feeling of inner fulfillment.
In our meditation today we will activate this sense of fulfillment to bring spiritual contentment into our hearts, and our heads.

Day 10 - Living Contentment
Contentment
from a spiritual perspective is the deep experience in consciousness
that all is well, regardless of what it looks like on the surface. Write
down an experience you have had like this, or similar to this.
Day 10 - Living Contentment
Think
back to that experience, take time to recall how that contentment felt.
Don’t consider your thoughts or analyze the experience, just describe
the emotional state you were in. Was it pleasant, calming, soothing,
loving, and or comforting? Write a short list of these feelings.
Day 10 - Living Contentment
Your
list of feelings is an indicator that your contentment was coming from
your core self of happiness. Know that this contentment is always there
and available within you. Write today's centering thought two times: “I
am content, just as I am.” As you write it the first time, think of that
situation where you felt contentment. When you write it the second
time, feel and describe in detail that contentment in the present
moment.
