Easy Meditation For Beginners Understanding Meditation
Walking on water is certainly miraculous, but walking peacefully on earth is an even greater miracle. ~~John Gray, Practical Miracles
There are many books on the subject of meditation. Most of them are written from the point of view which lies within one particular religious or philosophical tradition.
Each author make statements about meditation which sound like general laws, but are actually highly specific procedures exclusive to that particular system of practice.
The result is something confusing with complex theories and interpretations at odds with one another. The result is a real mess and an enormous jumble of conflicting opinions accompanied by a mass of extraneous data.

Meditation for Beginners: What is Meditation?
Practicing Meditation can change how we relate to our the flow of emotions and thoughts in our mind.
Meditation involves a type of inner attention that is quiet, concentrated and, at the same time, relaxed. There is nothing strenuous or difficult about creating this inner attention. In fact, meditation is a process that is restful and relaxing for the mind.It is the direct experience of our own mind.
Most of our waking time we are experiencing thoughts, emotions and sensations that fill our mind (a flow of thoughts).
In meditation we distance ourselves from the flow of thoughts; we become an observer instead of participant of this flow.
This flow of thoughts is an ever-changing stream of distractions.
Meditation enables us to recognize that the mind is still there even when thoughts are not.
Instead of being distracted by the flow, there is calm, clear awareness.
There are a number of misconceptions about Meditation. We see them crop up again and again from beginners, the same questions over and over again.
It is best to deal with these misconceptions at once because these misconceptions can block your progress in practice.
