Meditation Explained
It’s not my meditative mind I think you should follow…it's your own
No doubt if you’re interested in meditation...and I would tell you in some way we’re all meditators to some degree…you might have a unique relationship with a meditation teacher who you will look to for advice. Or not. You might choose to go it alone.
I, for one, listen to a few teachers, but I will then take their work and spin it to resemble my style of meditation. I might go it alone at some point, but I have to ask the question: Are we ever really alone?
Meditation appears in various ways. We can attune to ourselves whether we’re alone or not, but the kind of meditation I teach and most align with is group meditation. This is the practice of pulling together the energies of a group and using those energies to facilitate a collective experience. So yes, you may be inclined to go it alone as the master of your own mind, your own heart, and your own energy, but in my experience, we’re never really alone while meditating. We might have outside thoughts, feelings, ideas, noises, and disruptions, and there will be various people (lovers, friends, ex-husbands, children, fathers) who will pop into our head space to connect to.
Throughout a meditative experience, we’re supposed to accomplish something…or so we think. Perhaps…
