When
we start to do something meaningful, such as meditation,
excuses come up that prevent us from giving it our whole heart
and attention. We can fritter away days and nights on mindless diversions, but when
it comes time to meditate, suddenly all sorts of obligations, false

 Seems like it should be an easy question, but it's like asking
what is love. There are so many aspects of it, so many perspectives on
it, and so many ways to experience it that meditation doesn't lend
itself to being reduced to one quick answer. The best I can do is this:

Meditation is simple and practical. In a curious way, it is as
ordinary as it gets. Many people who try it at first don't think they

Meditating sounds easy. Sitting. Breathing. Focusing in a relaxed kind of way. So why isn't everyone doing it? Why do so many who start meditating, or open a book on the subject, fail to carry through and make meditation a part of their daily lives?

 I am probably the last person that should be saying how, when, and where to meditate. I have set a goal of daily meditation at least a hundred times, and I haven't succeeded for more than three consecutive days. It isn't a matter of not liking to meditate. I do..

 How long should you meditate? The first rule is, Don't be ruled by what others do. What works well for them may not work for you. Accept that in certain ways you are unique. Intensity of effort is far more important than the time spent in meditation. Never meditate to the point of mental fatigue, strain, or boredom...

 As a society, we've made meditation into something mysterious and difficult to achieve, yet everyone can meditate now; it's easy. All we have to do is to sit or lie down quietly, close our eyes, and take a few deep breaths...
