Meditation for Life
47:11
Meditation is not an idea of getting to a mystical state but of helping us to release. It is not an exotic practice but it is more like eating, brushing our teeth - it is a way to nourish ourselves and to open and finally to let go.
It is a lifelong journey where we learn to let go and stop grasping as we become aware of our life in each moment, accept each moment as it is.
Meditation can help us to be more in the world, by being here and now we can be skillful and respond to whatever happens in the present.
We develop clarity, we see the changing nature of things. When we are engulfed by feelings we can step back and say ‘how long will this last?’ We do not have to feed the feelings, we just need to be with them and watch them as they change.
We can bring creative awareness to everything that we do and use it to be fully where we are, to be in our relationships in our life.
