Life is incredibly busy, and at times, it can feel very heavy. So many of us are juggling responsibilities, emotions, expectations, and the constant pull of the world around us. It’s easy to feel like we have lost our grip on our own lives.
But there is a place we can go.
A place where the noise becomes less consuming. Where the constant chatter in our minds slows down. Where we can reconnect with ourselves and feel a little more steady again.
For some, that place begins with meditation. For others, it deepens through Sitting in the Power.
For many, meditation is the doorway into that space. For those of us who work with Spirit, Sitting in the Power becomes the place we stay.
While these two practices are deeply connected, they are not the same. Both are important. Both are special in their own way. And both serve very different purposes in our healing, our awareness, and our spiritual connection.
What is meditation?
Meditation is where we begin. Meditation is coming inward. It allows the mind to slow, the breath to deepen, and the nervous system to soften. It is the practice of being present with ourselves.
When we meditate, we are learning to listen—to our breath. To our thoughts, without judgment. To the subtle feelings moving through our body.
Meditation helps us regulate emotion, reduce anxiety, and create space between ourselves and the constant mental chatter. It teaches us that we are not our thoughts. We are the awareness beneath them.
This alone is powerful healing.
Meditation brings calm, clarity, grounding, and self-awareness. It is deeply personal and healing. It helps us reconnect with ourselves when life feels overwhelming or loud.
For many people, meditation is enough. It is a place of peace, reflection, and inner balance.
What is Sitting in the Power?
Sitting in the Power begins where meditation gently opens the door. Sitting in the Power is not about calming the mind. It is about expanding the soul.
In this practice, we are not focusing on the breath or quieting thoughts. Instead, we are allowing our awareness to move beyond the physical body and into our spiritual essence.
We sit in the presence of our own power. Our own light. Our own soul energy.
This is where we connect intentionally with Spirit, with higher consciousness, with the unseen world that exists beyond the physical senses.
Sitting in the Power strengthens our energetic awareness. It deepens intuition. It builds trust between us and Spirit. It allows us to recognize the difference between imagination, thought, and true spiritual communication.
While meditation soothes the human experience, Sitting in the Power strengthens the spiritual one.
This practice is not passive. It is an active relationship with energy, awareness, and Spirit. Over time, it strengthens our ability to sense, feel, receive, and hold spiritual connection with clarity and integrity.
How They Can Work Together
Meditation helps us become still enough to hear. Sitting in the Power teaches us what we are hearing.
Meditation grounds us into the body and the present moment. Sitting in the Power expands us beyond the body and into the eternal.
Meditation supports mental health, emotional regulation, and self-care. Sitting in the Power supports spiritual development, mediumship, and intuitive awareness.
One is not better than the other. One does not replace the other. They work together.
Meditation prepares the vessel. Sitting in the Power fills it with light.
I never understood the power of learning to meditate, or how much I would need this awareness, until I had to learn to sit in the power. It came easier to me because I already had the foundation of meditation.
If you are looking for a place to start, I always say: meditate. And then, when and if you are ready, you may graduate to something more.
And that something more? Well…it’s gloriously beautiful.
