Meditate With Me: Conversations About New Spiritual Paths, Peace, Harmony and Compassion

By: Gerald E Smith
  • Summary

  • "I am unlocking the doors to my inner peace by having the courage to ask why.

    Every question is a step closer to understanding and harmony within myself." ~Jerry

    I've recently crossed the milestone of 70, and the reflection that comes with it has made me realize that I haven't always been the best steward of my time, especially in the past decade and a half. In my pursuit of proving how bright, inventive and resourceful I could be, I often found myself running too fast, burning the candle from both ends, and in the process, losing sight of the joy of the moment or any joy for that matter.

    I've come to understand a very fundamental truth – it's not about hoarding time, stretching it thin, or being miserly with it. It's about living and fully appreciating every moment for what it is. Living each moment free from yesterday’s pain and regret, and devoid of tomorrow’s worries and anticipation has become my passion and mission.

    Mindfulness has been instrumental in this journey. It's allowed me to remain present in the moment, to find tranquility in the chaos, and most importantly, to appreciate 'now'. And from a practical viewpoint I also find I get more done, its better work and I more at peace with the results and myself.

    Now, while I'm no poet, I find a peculiar peace in paring down my thoughts to their bare essence and expressing them rather raw and unadorned. It helps me shed the unnecessary, getting to the core of what I truly am thinking. Sometimes these bits make sense to others and sometimes not. You may see bits in a smattering of my poetry during our visits.

    Through this podcast, I, and I hope you, will embark on a journey of self-improvement and understanding, aiming to savor each day, and find peace each hour, and hopefully, each singular moment in its purest form. We will delve into the world of mindfulness, explore its nuances, and I will invite you to join me in meditation during each episode.

    So, I invite you, dear listener, to join me on this journey. Expect reflections, shared experiences, moments of silence, laughter, tears, and hopefully, the occasional bit wisdom. Here's to the joy of now. No yesterdays, no tomorrows, only now. Only now.

  • S3-Ep2 -Why Do We Ask Questions - A Two Minute Exploration of Questioning
    Feb 20 2025

    In this episode, Jerry explores the simple but profound act of questioning. Why do we ask? Not to find final answers, but to see more clearly. To uncover, to explore, to keep moving forward.

    The path of inquiry is already unfolding, and we are already walking it. There is no rush, no urgency—only the rhythm of the questions themselves, leading us deeper into what we already know but have yet to fully see.

    Join Jerry in this quiet meditation on curiosity, presence, and the wisdom found not in the answers, but in the asking itself.

    Have a question you’d like to share? Send it in via comments, email, or any way you’d like—I’d love to explore it with you in a future episode.

    Episode Title: Embracing the Cycle of Mindful Living: A Stand-Alone Meditation

    Episode Summary:

    In this special bonus episode, we journey through the cyclical nature of mindfulness and intentional living. Through reflective guidance, we explore how each moment is an opportunity to see with clarity, think with purity, speak with sincerity, and act with integrity. This meditation invites you to reconnect with the essence of your being, dissolve illusions, and nurture the seeds of positivity and compassion within your life.

    "In the quiet space between breaths, a path appears—a path worn into the bedrock of our shared humanity, lit by a pure light, guiding us through the mists of existence." This meditation begins with an invitation to step onto this path, where we will explore the depth of our thoughts, words, and actions in a gentle, repetitive cycle that reinforces the importance of daily mindfulness.

    Main Themes:

    Seeing with Clarity: Each moment becomes a mirror reflecting the truth of our perceptions, allowing us to dissolve the illusions that cloud our minds.

    Thinking with Purity: Tending to a garden of thoughts, we nurture positivity and allow peace to bloom within our minds.

    Speaking with Sincerity: Our words become bridges of compassion, connecting our hearts and strengthening our relationships.

    Acting with Integrity: Our deeds create a legacy of kindness, reflecting our interconnectedness and shared humanity.

    Living with Dignity and Purpose: Each step we take honors life and lays the foundation for future generations, fortifying our intentions with dedication.

    Closing Thoughts:

    As we gently transition from the tranquility of our practice to the rhythm of our daily lives, we carry with us the stillness and insights touched during this meditation. Let the serenity that filled our breaths and the clarity that graced our thoughts become quiet companions on our journey ahead.
