Meditation is…

Meditation is intense thought. Concentrating on one thing for so long that you can pull yourself away from it and get a better view. Say you’re thinking on your emotions. You think so long that you almost pull them out of you and hold them tight in your hand so that you can hold them at arms length to examine them and better understand them. Meditation is over complicated. People see it as this lofty thing that only those with intense patience and mind set can achieve. It can be as simple as laying in bed and thinking back over your day. Thinking of what you did and what you would change. Planning what you needed to do the next day. Meditation is a broad topic. From monks who live in silence and use meditation as prayer to the three year old who sits and stares at his blocks toy trying to figure out how to make it work like his mom does. There is no right or wrong way to meditate. It’s something that comes from inside you. You can’t force it. It needs concentration but you have to have the urge first. The need to sit and think on something, whatever it may be.
