MEDITATION

Whenever we feel overwhelmed by the amount that needs to be done, or caught up in a moment of anger, we need to take time out for peace of mind.

For some, prayer or meditation will be the way to refocus and remember our higher purpose.
-- Robert Alan Silverstein

Whenever we feel overwhelmed by the amount that needs to be done, or caught up in a moment of anger, we need to take time out for peace of mind. For some, prayer or meditation will be the way to refocus and remember our higher purpose. Simply stopping for a moment and taking a deep breath and counting to ten, is sometimes all that we need to pull us out of a situation so that we can pause, and refocus and restore the balance of purpose and direction.
-- Robert Alan Silverstein

* "We who have been born Buddhist, Hindu, Christian, Muslim, or any other faith can be very comfortable in each others temple's, mosques, and churches, praying or meditating together to create a spiritual mass of consciousness which can overcome our greed, hatred, and illusions."
-- Dr. Ari Ariyaratne

"We need to meditate on what is peaceful. Once we have 'filled up' in this way, we once again have an abundance of love to send out into the world."
~ Jean Shinoda Bolen

Meditation is not a way of making your mind quiet. It's a way of entering into the quiet that's already there—buried under the 50,000 thoughts the average person thinks every day.
-- Deepak Chopra

If I had not been already been meditating, I would certainly have had to start. I've treated my own depression for many years with exercise and meditation, and I've found that to be a tremendous help.
-- Judy Collins

“...there is an intense delight in abandoning faulty states of mind and in cultivating helpful ones in meditation.”
- The Dalai Lama

We can live without religion and meditation, but we cannot survive without human affection.
- The Dalai Lama

The focus and the concentration and the attention to detail that flying takes is a kind of meditation. I find it restful and engaging, and other things slip away.
~ Harrison Ford

Reading makes a full man, meditation a profound man, discourse a clear man.
-- Benjamin Franklin
Meditation is such a more substantial reality than what we normally take to be reality.
-- Richard Gere

Meditation is not to escape from society, but to come back to ourselves and see what is going on. Once there is seeing, there must be acting. With mindfulness, we know what to do and what not to do to help.
-- Thich Nhat Hanh

Many of us worry about the situation of the world . . . We need to remain calm, to see clearly. Meditation is a means to be aware, and to try to help.
-- Thich Nhat Hanh

You who are journalists, writers, citizens, you have the right and duty to say to those you have elected that they must practice mindfulness, calm and deep listening, and loving speech. This is universal thing, taught by all religions.
-- Thich Nhat Hanh

Yoga is a great thing and meditation is also great to get connected to yourself more.
-- Ziggy Marley

* Love is a fruit in season at all times and within the reach of every hand. Anyone may gather it and no limit is set. Everyone can reach this love through meditation, prayer, sacrifice, and an intense inner life.
~ Mother Teresa

The kind of spirituality I value is one in which you get great joy out of contributing to life, not just sitting and meditating, although meditation is certainly valuable. But from the meditation, from the resulting consciousness, I would like to see people in action creating the world that they want to live in.
-- Marshall Rosenberg

"When we raise ourselves through meditation to what unites us with the spirit, we quicken something within us that is eternal and unlimited by birth and death. Once we have experienced this eternal part in us, we can no longer doubt its existence. Meditation is thus the way to knowing and beholding the eternal, indestructible, essential center of our being."
-- Rudolf Steiner

Yoga introduced me to a style of meditation. The only meditation I would have done before would be in the writing of songs.
-- Sting
