If I'm going to meditate, there is a little church up in Montecito, California. It's an old Spanish mission, actually. I find it comforting in there.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was raised Presbyterian, but I'm not really going to church. I think the experience in meditation is pretty much where it's at for me.
In church, they have the music where you jump and you shout, you know, and then you have the quiet music where you're sitting, you're meditating.
I meditate so I know how to find a peaceful place within to be calm and peaceful.
I can meditate anywhere, anytime, even whilst talking to you.
I don't meditate in any formal way, but I often lie in bed or find myself in nature and enter into that state of quiet where I get images, feelings, or melodies.
It's a crazy world, so I meditate for 20 minutes. I also meditate for 20 minutes before a concert.
My earliest experiences in meditation were in a context of intensive retreats.
We grew up devout Catholics, so my trips to San Juan always include going to the churches that we used to go to and lighting candles and everything. Everything I do in San Juan is what I used to do with my mom, kind of as a tribute to her.
You don't need a special place to meditate. You can transcend anywhere in the world. The unified field is here, and there, and everywhere.
Everywhere I go, I still have time to meditate. People think meditating is sitting there, nobody bothering you, but you can even talk and still meditate.
