Re: Do you think meditation is a method or a way of life?

Hi JennyI would say that meditation is the practise of stilling the mind and becoming aware. This may involve technique but not necessarily! i think that with practice a meditative state will come naturally with no need for a method. Meditative moments of awareness can happen spontaneously at anytime, especially when one is confonted with things of beauty. I don't think it necessary to attempt to catagorise or label meditation, or the results of it, as i guess there are many ways of describing it.

Personally I think it is a way of life which enhances and assists our way of thinking and being.

Re: Do you think meditation is a method or a way of life?

definately a way of life.... as my state of consciousness throughout the day has a huge impact on my mind when i come and sit down for meditation... If throughout the day i have negative thoughts, get angry/irritaed with people, then when i sit down and try and be peaceful these impressions will likely pop into my mind

Re: Do you think meditation is a method or a way of life?

I think of meditation as being in a very relaxed state and as much as possible letting my mind go blank. I see it more a method than a way of life... as would not be good idea to walk around like that at work :)
