Meditation in the spirit of Dianne Neiman

Meditation in the spirit of Dianne Neiman (https://schlossbergchapel.com/obituary/dianne-fay-neiman/) embraces laughter, absurdity, mischief, and joy as sacred pathways to presence. She understood that a smile can be a mantra, a joke can be a koan, and a bit of playful rebellion can awaken the soul. To meditate like Dianne is to welcome the unexpected, to hold life’s contradictions lightly, and to dance with the delightful absurdity of existence. It is a practice of seeing humor as wisdom and joy as a birthright. Rather than striving for stillness, this meditation invites movement—of breath, of curiosity, of delight. In honoring Dianne, we close our eyes, take a deep breath, and remember that sometimes, the holiest thing we can do is simply laugh.
