Sit still
From concepts back to reality
Sit down. Close your eyes. Breathe. Notice you’re thinking — return to the breath.
That’s the whole technique.
The goal of meditation is not to react. To expand within. The goal of awakening is permanent presence. Remember you’re breathing.
Do everything slowly. Do not react. Slower is better.
Meditation is the antidote to forgetting.
It’s the only way I found to spot that I am not my thoughts. Twenty minutes of sitting and you watch the same scripts run on loop. After enough sitting you stop confusing the script with you.
Keys: love, relaxation, trust, balance, acceptance, letting go, no judgment.
The depth has a map: collectedness is samadhi, observation is vipassana.
Meditation really is a paradoxical life hack — good things happen when you stop trying so hard to make them happen.
Do it tomorrow morning before reaching for the phone.
Meditation is fasting for the mind.
