What is Meditation?

We all have different ideas about what meditation is, even if we've practiced for decades. How we relate to meditation reflects the many possible ways in which we relate to ourselves, others and life. In turn, this broad range mirrors the degree to which we feel like "strangers in a strange land" vs "intimate with all things."

Rupert Spira's perspective:

"Meditation is neither an activity of the mind, nor the cessation of the mind.

It is simply being knowingly the presence of Awareness."

"Meditation is what we are, not what we do."
