Connecting Through Morning Meditation and Universal Energy
Helena LeeHave you ever felt like there is something deeper to connect with beyond the daily tasks, something that links us all together? Or maybe you’ve experienced moments when everything seems to align, like there's an invisible force supporting you? These experiences of connection, unity, and purpose are what I believe can be cultivated through meditation.
As a mom, I know how chaotic life can get—and how disconnected I can sometimes feel from myself and the world around me. Between making breakfast, packing lunches, managing schedules, and working, it’s easy to feel like I’m losing my center. But I have found that waking up early—often at 5 am—and dedicating as much time as possible, usually around 1hr, to meditation helps me connect to the bigger picture. It’s not just about me anymore; it’s about the oneness I share with the world around me and how that supports my journey.
How Meditation Cultivates Oneness
Meditation helps to cultivate a feeling of oneness and connection to the universe. When I meditate, it’s as if all the noise in my mind starts to dissolve. The mental chatter fades, and I’m left with a sense of stillness that allows me to feel my connection with everything around me. This feeling of oneness reminds me that I’m not alone. We are all part of a greater whole, all interconnected in ways that go beyond the physical world.
1. Cultivating Inner Stillness
When I sit down to meditate, it’s not about doing anything complex—it’s just about being still. In that stillness, I can feel myself tapping into an energy that is bigger than me. This sense of oneness reminds me that the universe is vast, and I am part of it. Each one of us has that power within to find peace and stillness, even if it’s only for a few minutes.
2. Letting Go of the Ego
Meditation helps me let go of my ego—that part of me that wants to control everything, judge myself and others, and feel separate. In meditation, I’m reminded that we’re all connected. When I let go of ego, I can feel empathy, compassion, and a deep sense of connection to those around me, even if I don’t know them personally.
3. Connection to the Universal Energy
Meditation brings a sense of connection to the universal energy that surrounds us all. The act of breathing mindfully and being present helps me connect to this invisible force. This connection is what people often describe as “feeling at one with the universe”—an understanding that we are all part of the same energy, and our actions ripple outward.
My Personal Experience with Morning Meditation
I wake up at 5 am most mornings, before the rest of the house is awake. It’s my time to be quiet, to breathe, and to connect to myself and the world around me. These precious minutes bring a profound sense of calm and a feeling that I’m not alone. The morning stillness makes me aware that the universe is alive and that I am a part of it—that I belong. I’ve realized that the more I meditate, the more I see the interconnectedness in all things: my actions, my thoughts, my energy, and how it all influences those around me.
How You Can Start a Meditation Practice for Oneness
If you’re looking to experience this sense of connection for yourself, you don’t need hours of time or complex rituals—just a few minutes to sit quietly with yourself.
-
Set an Intention
Start your meditation by setting an intention to connect with the universe. You can simply say in your mind, “I am open to feeling connected to all things.” Setting an intention can help shift your focus from yourself to the wider universe. -
Focus on Your Breath
Sit in a comfortable position, and start focusing on your breath. Feel the air entering and leaving your body, and let yourself soften into the moment. With each breath, let go of tension and imagine yourself becoming one with the energy around you. -
Visualize Oneness
Imagine yourself as part of the web of life—connected to the people, animals, nature, and the universe itself. With every inhale, imagine drawing in universal energy, and with every exhale, imagine sending love back out into the world. -
Be Present
Let go of any judgments about whether you’re doing it “right.” There’s no perfect meditation; just be present in this moment and open yourself up to the possibility of connection.
