Meditation Modulation

Creating room for meditation
Neither a meditation room
Nor a physical getaway
Rather a spiritual gateway

Not a mythical retreat
But a mindful haven
Beyond the mental fortress
Towards the sacred sanctuary.

Last few words: 
Deep breathing Focused healing Inner tranquility Outer equanimity
Editing stage: 

Comments

I do not how to comment or critique this poem. But, I believe the meditation needs a transcendental touch. A similar concept may apply to the poem. I do get the message. It is good.

Mark, you have wisely identified a place where many persons experience tranquility - in a hot tub after a tiring day of work or stress. However, the focus of the Rhyku was that equanimity or tranquility and a medititative bliss is not based on the physical state of being but on the mental state of mind - this can be achieved even in places where others may identify as places of stress. For example, in one of my work environments, the powers that be had decided to set up a room for stress relief with a comfortable padded recliner and a choice of mood music that all employees could avail for 15 minutes during the working day. I never made use of it and when I was asked why I did not use the meditation room, I responded that I could achieve a state of calm just by closing my eyes for a few minutes in my own cubicle and the fact that I enjoyed my work and did not see it a source of stress. So that was the basis for this Rhyku.

commuter moments...
waiting too see a doctor
eight hour waits
test results from the clinic
a girlfriend too call
kraft dinner to cook!

lovely poem on needing
not to be angry and
rage filled over not
having patience!
a virtue cultivated
not given nor boughten

thank U!
