Meditation really is
different things to
different
people.
Some find that going
for a walk and just
enjoying nature is a personal type of meditation. To
others it is going within themselves and connecting
to a higher power. For the purposes of this book, I
will simply say that meditation is a way of quieting
your mind.

Meditation can be
done
anywhere
that you are, in the
moment you wish
to meditate. For
beginners it is
wise to make a
special place to
meditate. Find a
place that you feel
safe and secure, a place where you will not be
disturbed. Some sit in a chair or on the floor. Others
like to meditate sitting in bed or in the bath tub. The
main criteria would be that you are holding your own
body upright, rather than leaning on anything.
Experiment to see what works best for you.

We
close
off
the
connections with ease
and grace. Be grateful
for
your
experience.
Take some time before
you come back into
your regular experience.
(This is the point where
many do not want to come back. Many find it
beautiful and relaxing and then want to stay in that
experience.) Give yourself time to let go of that
meditating experience. Let yourself come back
slowly and gently.
