THE ART OF MEDITATION:

"To meditate is to become interested in ... , without being for or against it."


"To meditate is to become interested in ... , (awareness)
Intention: To allow the awareness to be clear and spacious, becoming interested in the present moments experience of the body's sensations, the heart's emotions and the mind's thoughts.

..., without being for or against it." (caring)
Intention: To acknowledge the experience by turning towards it and opening up to it. Just letting it be what it is, without too much judgmentalness (from past memories) or too much expectation (of a future outcome). Rather gently guide the process with skillful caring intentions.

Stress Meditation (understanding) is this interest in ..., and suspending of past judgments and future expectations. This allows for the wisdom of new understandings of stress to arise. These new insights, can then be tried in our daily lives and relationships to reduce stress.

MEDITATION TIPS:
*The Golden Rule of Meditation: "Do not force the mind."
*Lightly guide the mind, with skillful phrases, i.e. "no thing to get", "every thing to know"
*Protect the mind, from becoming overwhelmed with negative emotions or anxious thoughts by skillfully using compassion. With a gentle but firm caring return the awareness to the heavy, hard sensations of the hips and spine.
