‘Anchored and Inspired ’ with Damian Robertson
A conversation with Damian Robertson
Damian Robertson is an experienced meditator and member of NZCCM.
What have been the gifts of having a personal meditation practice?
It offered me a way to recover from severe physical and emotional trauma when I encountered it 18 years after a serious motor-vehicle accident.
It has enabled me to rise above a heavily conditioned upbringing to get in touch with the real self God created in me.
It has stilled my mind and soul.
It has opened my eyes to God's presence within in.
How has this practice borne fruit in your life?
In all the ways listed above, I have found myself. My spiritual practice has extended into hospital chaplaincy and wider involvement in my church community, including leadership of several groups which engage actively in charitable works and other ministries.
How important has community been in supporting your meditation practice?
Membership of a weekly group keeps me anchored in my own meditation practice, and it encourages those I’ve helped to bring to meditation to stay connected with the practice. The loyalty and commitment of my small group constantly re-inspire me.
