Meditation HowTo:
From our perspective we honor the many diverse traditions of meditation and do not want to answer the question for you of how to meditate. There is much advice available on the internet and we do provide a
links page which indicates what we perceive to be of value. But our experience is limited to what we know of, and there is much more which you may find valuable. We hope that you successfully navigate your path and find what you need.
Our advice is:
- Find a local teacher or group to sit with.
- Attend regularly
- Read in the meditation tradition you have chosen (follow this link to see the books we offer)
- Practice as often as you can
Given that we are not comfortable in telling you how to actually meditate, we are comfortable in giving you the following helpful and friendly advice.
