But I deal with this meditating and by understanding I've been put on the planet to serve humanity. I have to remind myself to live simply and not to overindulge, which is a constant battle in a material world.

The problem with meditating is I generally go to sleep, and that's because I'm doing it wrong.

Most people think that to meditate, I should feel a particular special something, and if I don't, then I must be doing something wrong.

To me, meditation is simply silencing or focusing the mind.

Total relaxation is the secret to enjoying sitting meditation. I sit with my spine upright, but not rigid; and I relax all the muscles in my body.

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.

If you know how to worry, you know how to meditate. It means to think of something over and over.

Meditation is about getting to a place where you're approaching things in a more calm, centering place rather than allowing yourself to get caught up in it.

I am particularly drawn to the form of meditation called Japa. I know it works.
