There is a deeper part of you that is as timeless as the sun.

There’s a powerful truth that meditation helps us rediscover: within each of us lies a core essence as enduring as the sun itself. This timeless part of you isn’t swayed by fleeting emotions or the ever-changing circumstances of life. It’s a constant source of peace and clarity, waiting to be reconnected with.

“Our mind is like a blue sky. Clouds come and go. We tend to get caught up in the clouds and forget about the sky.” – Andy Puddicombe

“Remember the blue sky. It may at times be obscured by clouds, but it is always there.” – Andy Puddicombe

We know this to be true. Whenever you look up into the sky and fix your gaze on a cloud, you can see how it keeps moving. There has never been a cloud that blocked the light from the sun forever. Things float in, and they also float on out.

“You are the sky. Everything else is just weather.” –  Pema Chodron

“There will be clear skies after every pouring rain.” – Andy Puddicombe

Try this as a practice:

Whenever next you notice grey skies. When you look up with not a speck of blue sky to be seen take a moment, close your eyes and imagine taking off from the runway in an airplane. How long would it take you to ascend through this bank of grey? Minutes?

And when your plane pops out above it all, notice how the sun and the blue sky is exactly as impossibly bright as it always is. It is never gone, even though you might feel disconnected from it. It needs only time for the things that will naturally move to be on their way. This is a law of nature. A law of the Universe.

In your own moments of darkness, please remember that all weather is temporary and that there is a deeper part of you that is as timeless as the sun. And while there are moments you might feel completely disconnected from your soul, it is never gone.

Let these guiding mantras serve as a reminder:

• I am the vast blue sky, everything else – thoughts, emotions, challenges – is simply passing weather.
• My inner peace is always present, waiting to be accessed.
• Just like the weather, all challenges are temporary.
• There is a deeper part of me that is as timeless as the sun.

By cultivating awareness of your inner sky, you can navigate the storms of life with greater resilience and find the peace that lies within you, always.
