Meditation practice isn't about trying to throw ourselves away and become something better. It's about befriending who we are already.
There is nothing so disobedient as an undisciplined mind, and there is nothing so obedient as a disciplined mind.
Quite the mind and the soul will speak.
At the end of the day, I can end up just totally wacky, because I've made mountains out of molehills. With meditation, I can keep them as molehills.
Mind is everything. What we think, we become.
Mindful meditation has been discovered to foster the ability to inhibit those very quick emotional impulses.
When we dance, the journey itself is the point, as when we play music the playing itself is the point.
When you're centered, your emotions are not hijacking you.
It's a lifelong gift, something you can call on at any time.
When we dance, the journey itself is the point, as when we play music the playing itself is the point. And exactly the same thing is true in meditation. Meditation is the discovery that the point of life is always arrived at in the immediate moment.
All that is necessary to awaken to yourself as the radiant emptiness of spirit is to stop seeking something more or better or different, and to turn your attention inward to the awake silence that you are.
No great work has ever been produced except after a long interval of still and musing meditation.
Meditation is the ultimate mobile device; you can use it anywhere, anytime, unobtrusively.
