Question: Dear Sir, how should one meditate? I don’t even know where and how to start?
Answer: Let me answer in a few ways.
Being meditative is entirely different. Each and every second of your time must be filled with presence. Every thought, every emotion, every breath, every movement of the body must be in watchfulness. Every word that you utter must come from consciousness. Gossip, trivia, wandering has to be seen.
You will have to discover what works for you. You will be surprised at the variety of methods possible – eating, dancing, singing, rest, movement, sleeping, concentrating, yoga, tantra, listening, watching, abstinence, any conceivable activity can become meditation. Just that the mind has to cease.
I discovered, long after it had been actually happening, that listening to a CD while driving my car was to me a strongly meditative experience.
