Gaps Are Openings to Deep Reality

<center>>

Meditation creates "gaps" in our mental reality. These gaps are gifts. 

When an important part of life falls apart, a gap is created. That gap is the opportunity to allow in deep reality. If we close that gap too quickly, old familiar patterns snap back into place. Stay with a gap just long enough to realize that it's a gift, an opportunity for awakening. 

We don't need to have our lives fall apart to experience the benefits of gaps - in meditation we sit and allow ourselves to be aware of gaps as they come. This is deliberate and less dramatic, but the results can be more dramatic in the fullness of time.
