Meditation

I get the question:

How do you meditate?

To me that question is confusing. Since meditation is a tool, a practice used towards awareness, towards centering, towards acceptance, towards...

Ah there is the key word: towards... movement ... assistance within our path. Keep in mind for a Taoist it's never about the destination but rather: it's all about the journey. As such this means to a Taoist, meditation isn't a separate practice, it's part of the way I live and think all the time.

Back to the original question.

So the question is like asking:

How do you use a tool?

So I have to turn around and ask back:

What would you like to achieve with meditation?

I can't even count how many different variations to meditation exist. Each variation helps a person focus towards certain goals.

So when asking a person to learn meditation. First ask yourself... for what goal are you learning meditation.

More tomorrow...
