Beach Meditation

I go to the beach almost everyday for a 20 minute meditation. As I was on my way down I noticed a young guy walking in my same direction carrying a yoga mat.

I thought about asking if I could join his practice. But instead decided to do my meditation as usual. I picked a spot in the middle of the beach and blissed out for about twenty minutes.

When I was done I got up and started walking back toward the street. I noticed the same young man with the yoga mat a few yards ahead of me, he had finished his practice and was walking back to the street as well.

As I approached he said "Nice spot you had there." I said "Yeah, did you enjoy your practice?" He said yeah. We chatted a bit on our walk back to the street and even exchanged Facebook info. We bid farewell and went on our way.

Later on when I checked my Facebook he had tagged a picture he took of me walking down the stairs to the beach, before we even met! It was a gorgeous photo! You never know what experiences you can open yourself up to just by developing a daily meditation practice!
