In Its Outward Manifestation, Meditation Appears To Involve Either Stopping, By Parking The Body In A Stillness That Suspends Activity, Or Giving Oneself Over To Flowing Movement.

Note That This Journey Is Uniquely Yours, No One Else's. So The Path Has To Be Your Own. You Cannot Imitate Somebody Else's Journey And Still Be True To Yourself. Are You Prepared To Honor Your Uniqueness In This Way?

Once In Awhile Throughout The Day...let Go Into Full Acceptance Of The Present Moment, Including How You Are Feeling And What You Perceive To Be Happening... Give Yourself Permission To Allow This Moment To Be Exactly As It Is, And Allow Yourself To Be Exactly As You Are. Then, When You're Ready, Move In The Direction Your Heart Tells You To Go, Mindfully And With Resolution.
