Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you think humor is important when it comes to one's spiritual journey?
There is no benefit to being SERIOUS and TIGHTLY WOUND in your journey toward self-discovery. It’s actually counter-productive.
The universal qualities we all seek, like LOVE, WISDOM, KINDNESS, COMPASSION and RESPECT … are not enhanced by being SERIOUS. In fact being serious pushes these qualities away.
The more you can relax, the more these higher qualities will be able to flow into your life, creating a greater sense of meaning and a deeper calm.
The spiritual path is a difficult one. There is no better way to take the edge off than with humour.
What advice would you give to someone who is thinking about trying out meditation?
It’s SOOO worth the effort! Meditation is the most fantastic tool for growing that we have at our disposal.
Meditation allows people to slow things down internally and wake up to who they really are.
The downside (which is really the upside) is that you begin to see that most of the thoughts and beliefs that you habitually hold on to are not very helpful.
With the letting go of these unhelpful thoughts begins a new freedom.
What is a good approach for someone when they start meditating for the first time?
The best way to approach meditation is as though you’re going to the gym for the first time.
Just like working out at the gym, when you begin to meditate, you’re waking up muscles you’ve never really used before. They are atrophy from their lack of use and need time to build up strength. So it’s important to cut yourself some slack.
This is why I tell people to “meditate badly.” In other words, don’t try to do it perfectly. Accept that it’s going to be clunky at first. Judging yourself works against the peace of mind that you’re trying to achieve.
This slow but steady progress can be frustrating. It can often seem like nothing is happening. But after a few months, you’ll look back to when you first started … and you will notice BIG changes.
As is the case with going to the gym, as the novelty wears off, you’ll begin to encounter a lot of resistance.
The real challenge is to keep at it.
Try to create a habit of meditating every day, even if it’s only for a few minutes.
Eventually it will become completely natural to take time out for yourself each day.
About the Author
David Wimble is an author from Ottawa, Ontario who has been meditating for almost 40 years.
David created the LET’S MEDITATE SERIES as a gentle guide for people who are interested in learning how to meditate. Especially those who are a bit hesitant.
The plan was always to present the series in a children’s book format with a mix of text and illustrations.
As he planned the series in his head, David had no idea he would connect with an incredible illustrator like Brazilian artist Thaís Suizo.
Thaís’s illustrations have taken the series to a whole other level of profound love and tenderness.
David’s other books “The Stump Near the Stream” and its sequel, “Mr. Cow Freaks Out” offer humorous insights on metaphysics and spirituality.
David also publishes “The Indie Bible,” a resource that has been helping independent artists for 27 years.
