On Not Meditating

It's easy to feel that because we can tap into that wonderful energy at the centre of our being, at will, that there is no need to practise, to meditate regularly and deeply. There is a big difference between "dropping in" from time to time, and living somewhere. Being able to connect to that space at will is nice but it is not the same as coming from that space, always. The freshness and depth of regular meditation mean that we carry that energy with us everywhere. It is a part of us. We radiate it. We don't have to connect to it any more than we have to tell ourselves to breathe.
