Meditation in the here and now is peaceful.

Meditation in the here and now is peaceful.

Stillness of the mind, allowing us to know that this too will pass.

Jesus must have meditated, I wonder what meditative techniques he preferred?

Seedless meditation is sitting without any direction.

Seedless meditation is sitting without hoping to imagine anything.

Jesus was often very tired; he must have enjoyed sitting quietly alone and closing his eyes.

Meditative practices can sometimes involve imagery.

We are asked to imagine logs floating by in a river.

We are asked to imagine the sun shining down as we nap in the clouds.

We are asked to imagine the sound of the ocean.

I now prefer to sit in silence without imagining anything.

I like to sit and to enjoy my limbs not moving.

I like to sit and to enjoy being warm and dry and not working for a few minutes.

I appreciate not being hungry or sick or upset.

When I meditate now it is, How do I interact with my senses?

I am likely not sitting in complete silence, How do I interact with the sounds?

I am likely not sitting in complete solitude, How do I interact with the people around me?

My feet are touching my shoes.

My shoes are touching the ground.

My mind interacts with my shoes that are touching the ground.
