What Meditation Tells Us
Meditation
practice helps us relinquish old, painful habits; it challenges our
assumptions about whether or not we deserve happiness. (We do, it tells
us emphatically.) It also ignites a very potent energy in us. With a
strong foundation in how to practice meditation, we can begin to live in
a way that enables us to respect ourselves, to be calm rather than
anxious, and to offer caring attention to others instead of being held
back by notions of separation.
