So Janet was experiencing new perspectives resulting from meditation practice, but more than that, she was getting some explanations that she sorely needed about life. When Janet and I met, we were a lot alike… yet so different. She was twenty-six, I was thirty-six, both born under the sign of the crab, both growing up in Cleveland, and both having a Catholic background. But she was the youngest of five children, I was an only child; and while I attended Catholic school for a year or two, she spent twelve years under the nuns’ thumbs!
If Goldilocks were to leaf through a few meditation books, she might find some approaches to be too hot, others too cold. But soon enough, we know she’d land on a system that feels “just right” to her. She always does. Meditation is Like Porridge When you take your first taste of meditation, it is good to follow your inner guidance. Too hot? Too cold? Find an approach that feels “just right” as it offers you a bridge from your every day state of mind into the clarity, awakening, and healing you seek. Scattered Mind |
