Wholeness and Oneness
When we are in touch with being whole, we feel at
one with everything. When we feel at one with
everything, we feel whole ourselves.
Sitting still or lying still, in any moment we can
reconnect with our body, transcend the body, merge
with the breath, with the universe, experience
ourselves as whole and folded into larger and larger
wholes. A taste of interconnectedness brings deep
knowledge of belonging, a sense of being an intimate
part of things, a sense of being at home wherever we
are. We may taste and wonder at an ancient
timelessness beyond birth and death, and
simultaneously experience the fleeting brevity of this
life as we pass through it, the impermanence of our
ties to our body, to this moment, to each other.
Knowing our wholeness directly in the meditation
practice, we may find ourselves coming to terms with
things as they are, a deepening of understanding and
compassion, a lessening of anguish and despair.
Wholeness is the root of everything that the words
health, healing, and holy signify in our language and
our culture.
