05-18-16 The Ease of Meditation
Most people use meditation to try to make something happen, find enlightenment, get to a better state, or change something in their lives. True meditation is discovering how to be with Life exactly as it is, especially how to be fully with yourself (for just a few minutes at the beginning) noticing what you are experiencing. Mary describes it as ‘dipping the finger of your attention into the river of your experience.’ When you can be curious about what you are experiencing, you are giving yourself the most important gift – your undivided accepting attention. For it is when your attention and your immediate experience come together that you step out of the game of struggle and step into the peace, ease and joy that you truly long for.
