Meditation begins now, right here.  If you wish to free yourself from the frantic television mind that runs our lives, begin with the intention to be present now. Nobody can bring awareness to your life but you.

Meditation is not a self-help program – a way to better ourselves so we can get what we want.  Nor is it a way to relax before jumping back into busyness. It’s not something to do once in a while, either, whenever you happen to feel like it.  Instead, meditation is a practice that saturates your life and in time can be brought into every activity. It is the transformation of mind from bondage to freedom. In practicing meditation, we go nowhere other than right here where we now stand, where we now sit, where we now live and breathe. In meditation we return to where we already are – this shifting, changing ever-present now.
