But there is a lot more to meditation than simply sitting still.
It is important to be aware of the lesser known aspects and consequences of a naturally still mind.
Why is it important to know what a still mind experiences?
Take a moment to think of the history of Western psychology. Is it not curious that we have made a science out of pathology and mental illness?
We have been so focused on what an imbalanced mind looks like with it’s cornucopia of anxieties, fears, syndromes and personality disorders that we have no idea what a balanced, clear and still mind looks like.
You’ve heard of the old adage, “What we put attention to grows.”
There are no wiser words said with regard to our fixation on mental illness.
Instead of focusing on pathology we need to focus on clarity.
Meditation is far more than just sitting quietly as part of your morning power routine.
Meditation is transformation. It is spiritual alchemy.
Spiritual seekers from all creeds and belief structures eventually come upon meditation because it is like being called back home.
At some time or another, every person will come to ask themselves, “Why am I here?” “What is this world?” and ultimately, “Who am I?”
In order to answer these questions, one must go within and by within, I mean beyond the five outward facing senses.
Find yourself through meditation.
