We started this meditation series, The Stagnation Layer, with the connective idea that the human body is a microcosm of the universe; that we can view the universe as a mirror image of what goes on inside.

And, we looked to the Voyager space expeditation, in particular the experience of Voyager 1 in the Stagnation Layer of the cosmos, as a metaphor for how we might engage with moments of ‘stuckness’ or stagnation.

Today, 45 years after its launch and 14.6 billion miles from Earth, Voyager 1 and 2 have now spent 10 years in interstellar space. Interestingly, Voyager 1 went through the Stagnation Layer, and Voyager 2 did not. 

Yet, 10 years later, these two spacecraft are in the same place, both doing exactly what they are supposed to be doing, and both wildly, improbably successful. I think there are 3 vital lessons for us within this statement - 

Community is vitally important for our movement through Stagnation.

It is our engagement that makes these moments magical and rich rather than scary and confusing.

We don’t need to worry about what anyone else is doing or experiencing within their meditation practice. 

Join me for today’s episode of The Mindful Minute as we explore these three lessons and how they enrich both our meditation practice and our lived experience.
