“Meditation, simply defined, is a way of being aware. It is the happy marriage of doing and being.

Meditation lifts the fog of our ordinary lives to reveal what is hidden; it loosens the knot of self-centeredness and opens the heart.

Meditation moves us beyond mere concepts to allow for a direct experience of reality.

Meditation embodies the way of awakening: both the path and its fruition. From one point of view, it is the means to awakening; from another, it is awakening itself.

Most of us tend to conceive of meditation as something done cross-legged with eyes closed, in a quiet, unlit place.

Traditionally, equal emphasis is given to four postures in which to meditate: sitting, standing, walking, and lying down. This pretty much covers all our activities, allowing us to integrate meditative practice into daily life.”

“We all carry within us our places of exile,
our crimes, our ravages.

Our task is not to unleash them on the world;
it is to transform them in ourselves and others.”

- Albert Camus

“You entered form to give a holy message.
An envoy from the inconceivable is each
of us.

What is it that you need to say to us, or do?
So difficult your divine errand, it may take

lifetimes to accomplish . . . always loving.”

- Hafiz

“I felt in need of a great pilgrimage
so I sat still for three
days.

My words cannot describe what I
experienced,

and anyway

I’m afraid you will use my words
to imagine the experience
and
think you have experienced it.

It doesn’t work that way,
you
must
experience
it
for
yourself.”

—Kabir

“Select a suitable place for your regular meditation. Put a meditation cushion or chair there for your use, and add any books or images that help make it feel like a sacred or peaceful space.

Select a regular time for practice that suits your schedule and temperament. Use a timer and begin with sitting five or ten minutes at a time. Later you can sit longer or more frequently.

Daily meditation can become like bathing or brushing your teeth. It can bring a regular cleansing and calming to your heart and mind.”

— Jack Kornfield

“Praise, flattery, exaggerated manners and fine, high-sounding words were no part of Lakota politeness.

Excessive manners were put down as insincere, and the constant talker was considered rude and thoughtless.

Conversation was never begun at once, or in a hurried manner.”

- Standing Bear

“The point of meditation is not simply to be accomplished meditators but to change our whole approach to life.

Meditation is not merely a useful technique or mental gymnastic, but part of a balanced system designed to change the way we go about things at the most fundamental level.

In this context, it is a way of exposing and uprooting the core problems of grasping and ego clinging that separate us from one another and cause endless pain.

In the path of awakening we are bringing together our actions, our view, and our practice. It is a balance of awareness, insight, and action, working harmoniously together.

In that way our energy is no longer divided or scattered, but we are fully present in whatever we do. That is living the true nature of being human.”

“Silence arrests flight, so that in its refuge, the need to flee the chaos of noise diminishes.

We let the world creep closer, we sit, as if to let the heart, like a small animal, get its legs on the ground.”

- Barbara Hurd

“We have only now,

only this single eternal moment

opening and unfolding before us,

day and night.”
