This makes sense to me. When I don't get time to center, I'm not my best self, and become easily irritated and generally unhappy with myself. Meditation centers me and helps me be in contact with the self I most like to be ~
Yea Joy , thanks for your contribution. What I’ve also noticed is that you can sit there and feel your putting all this energy and focus into prayer, a mantra or an extended practice and feel you are not getting anything from it and then walk away and have all these fantastic insights about life, about your experiences with others and insights about why you have attracted many experiences in your life. It is peculiar, but if you hope or expect for certain results you may have had at one time, you may get something entirely different. As if to prove to you how little you really know about meditation or the grace that is provided by its practice.
