Guest guest Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 You meditated for years and many of the insights in your book come from meditation masters. I'm wondering if I should meditate? Josh: What do you mean by " meditation? " Are you meditating now? No— we're talking right now. I'm wondering if you think it would be helpful, for example, to meditate every morning for 30 minutes. Josh: So, meditation for you is sitting quietly on a cushion, closing your eyes, and so on? Right. I'm so busy working and taking care of my family that the morning is the only time I can find for my spirituality. Josh: Notice that you're making spirituality something separate from your working and family life. Being wakeful in each and every moment of your life is meditation. The simplest definition of meditation is: when seeing, just see; when hearing, just hear. Sitting on a meditation cushion is one particular version of wakefulness. Eating a sandwich, changing your son's diapers, or negotiating a deal is also meditation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
