I
meditate because twenty minutes on the cushion adds inestimable time and space
to my day.
I
meditate because when I honor my deepest calling, I feel every fiber of my
being aligning into integrated harmony, a state I cannot create any other way.
I
meditate because when I do I fall in love with the world and everything in it
all over again.
I
meditate because meditation is the great homecoming, the return to our authentic
nature.
I
meditate because in the stillness all of our interlocking systems -- intellect,
emotion, energy, body, spirit -- return to their natural set-point and are
restored to their ideal interrelationship.
I
meditate because I'm a hedonist at core -- I'm drawn to the higher pleasures
and the joy they afford.
I
meditate because life is short and none of us has that much more time, and I
might as well actually be here now instead of running madly through the echo
chamber and hall of mirrors of my own conceptual madhouse.
I
meditate because the world deserves the best possible version of myself; at
core, all spiritual practice is world service.
I
meditate because my greatest single contribution to world peace and
enlightenment is to show up as awakened as possible.
I
meditate because freedom, real freedom, is freedom from the tyranny of the
thought stream.
I
meditate because I'm drawn to the real, and find it every time in the silent
boundless spaciousness beneath and between my thoughts.
I meditate
because of the way love wells up through the cracks of my suffering when I hold
still long enough to allow it.
I
meditate because it is beautiful and subtle and profound.
I
meditate because something deep within me asks me to.
I
meditate because there is great and tremendous freedom in the word
"yes."
I
meditate because I can feel the darkness and fear dissipating when I do.
I
meditate because. Just because.
