Re: How to Meditate.
[ QUOTE ]
meditation can be many things including all three of the things you said it wasn't.
[ QUOTE ]
Meditation is the act of stilling your mind, of ceasing to think.

it can be but doesn't have to be.
my favorite way to describe meditation is it's a tool for changing the habitual patterns of mind.

I'm surprised that this took so long. This thread is not for philosophical discussion on what meditation is or isn't. That sort of highbrow arguement is exactly the sort of thing that turns people off meditation. There is also another forum for it. So if you want, you can post a thread there and I'll duely get stuck into you.
I posted this thread as a response to others to help them to learn how to meditate and to help them along with any practical questions and problems that arise. Nothing more.
