Don’t Obsess About Meditation

Quality not quantity in meditation, even though quantity is promoted. Short moments, many times. When meditation just becomes a ritual, it’s not meditation. The real meditation is letting go, hence short moments, many times.

Know why we meditate. It is to become aware of awareness, and know that we are this awareness, this pure consciousness. We then go about our daily tasks in a relaxed, confident manner, neither accepting nor rejecting anything that comes our way.

Nothing can disturb pure consciousness as this is just pure observation. It’s only when things don’t fit with our preconceived ideas that the mind creates irritation or anxiety. Realising this, we remain calm in clarity, rather than indulging in the usual mental and physical gymnastics that pass for meditation.

‘Yoga’ means union, or non-duality of pure awareness.
Being aware is natural.
