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.

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.

"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.

“...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.

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.

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.

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
