I need help with meditation. It seems that my life is always filled with noise, and distraction. I so much want to be able to tune out the incessant clatter and just be still, one with myself……How do I learn proper meditation???
Sometimes the way to learn proper meditation is to get a sense for what can happen through meditation. In my blog on meditation and improved health, I discuss one way of understanding mediation (just one way among many). I think the challenge for those new to meditation is to find a technique that is easy and comfortable to fall into. It's easy to try one that ends up being difficult and frustrating. I had to practice Tai Chi for 9 years before I could consider a serious sitting meditation practice; that was simply and necessarily my way. There is no such thing as proper meditation, but there is such a thing as your best effort.
