What is Meditation?
Meditation is the methodical expansion of human consciousness
beyond acquired
beliefs
and
attitudes
about life so as to encounter a deeper reality directly.
Meditation is not a withdrawal from the world, as many may
think of it. It is a means to encounter the world in order to understand it
and yourself.
Why Meditation?
Meditation is the most powerful mind tool ever developed.
Meditation has been scientifically proven to
to
extend your life,
create more
happiness
and inner peace, increase mental clarity
and thinking ability, improve
creativity, intelligence, memory,
alertness, and to integrate left and right
brain functioning. It has been shown to improve physical, mental, and
emotional health.
Several studies conducted by scientists have shown that meditation may in
fact induce profound change, far beyond the simple relaxation, even beyond
the medical applications of relieving stress, reducing blood pressure, and
so on.
Most people assume that the real world is outside, that the
way to live life is by contact an external reality, by seeking input, mental
or physical, from without. "Most of us have never considered severing
outwards contacts in order to see what happens inside. We would rather
explore the far side of the moon or the bottom of the ocean than the hidden
depths within ourselves. But in fact the universe exists for each of us only
when we experience it with body and mind. It is never elsewhere, it is
always here and now. By exploring the here-and-now of ourselves we can
explore the world. Unless we investigate the world within we can never know
reality we will only know our
beliefs
about it, or our intellectual conceptions of it. By observing ourselves,
however, we can come to know reality directly and can learn to deal with it
in a positive, creative way."3
How To Learn the
Meditative Process?
"To learn a meditative process, you need to move through the
same basic inner focusing activity in your mind a number of times... until
you internalize the meditation process as a beautiful mental habit that you
can move through without guidance," advises
John Selby.1
Zen Meditation
Zen teaches the practice of zazen, sitting in meditative
absorption as the shortest, but also the steepest, way to awakening.

is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly,
