Learning Meditation Part 1

Welcome to Learning Meditation. I hesitate to use the word meditation. To me, as well as

many others, the word "meditation" conjures up the picture of a bearded man sitting cross-

legged in front of an entrance to a cave or high on a mountain top. Climbing the mountain

and reaching him is part of the arduous journey toward self-fulfillment, self-improvement.

Once we find him we ask, "What is the meaning of life?" or "How do we achieve peace in

ourselves and our lives?" This all-knowing man tells us the answers are "inside ourselves"

and tells us to go and contemplate. I don't know if that answer was worth the journey!

Well, I am not a wise man on a mountain. I am just like you -- involved in life and work,

seeking more serenity and calm in my life. I am still learning to do it better, using

meditation as a guide on my journey. I invite you to take this journey yourselves. I invite

you to use meditation to find the answers to your questions.
