Meditation Quotes: Various Quotes and Teachings on Meditation
"When we were born, we were sensitive to everything.
But as we began to feel things like hurt, sadness, rejection, we began to block that sensitivity.
We began to contract and separate ourselves from our experience.
Every experience of resisting pain gets wound up tight in knots and this becomes our identity.
We begin to experience ourselves as this hard outer shell that nothing can penetrate. Our own little battle station.
And then we lose our ability to feel alive. We lose our ability to experience life.
In deep meditation, these knots begin to become unraveled.
The hard outer core that we have defined ourselves to be starts to become undone. All the ways we learned to protect ourselves are surrendered and again we become sensitive.
Through meditation, we become sensitive to everything; we start to feel everything.
Not in the sense of getting lost in emotional drama, although that may happen at times.
But in the sense of letting go of the mind's interpretation of this moment and actually experiencing what is here prior to that interpretation.
By feeling this moment directly, without letting the rational mind interfere with your recognition of what is here.
If you are justifying something, then you are resisting something that is here . You have your walls up.
But the more you can allow sensitivity to be, to feel everything without trying to protect yourself, shield yourself, place yourself above it, then this humble sensitivity brings you back to your natural state. Your natural state of unconditional peace.
You become so vulnerable to life, the sense of being a separate 'you' falls away and then there is only life, living everything as everything.

Meditation is Awakening Sensitivity
"Silence is not the absence of thought.
You cannot just stop thinking and then you will experience silence. That is just the absence of thinking.
Rather, you start to feel it.
As the Shakti & awareness builds inside you and you begin to naturally be aware of your thinking rather than identified with it, you will begin to feel silence, or sense silence underneath the flow of thoughts.
And very naturally you will be attracted to it. You may feel it as bliss, as peace, as love or as freedom and your whole being will fall in love with it.
Not in the egotistical sense that you feel it as pleasure and you want more. It goes way beyond that.
You recognize it as the love you have been seeking since before you were even seeking.
The peace of it is so pure that just being in it fulfills you. You want to give yourself over to it because it is the ultimate feeling of coming home.
And so you become devoted to that silence.
You give yourself over to silence out of love the same way you give your body over to your lover.
And then in that there is perfection. You feel you are exactly where you are supposed to be.
That dissolving yourself into silence fulfills you in every way.
The peace is so nurturing that your heart is at peace, your mind is at peace. And in this you see how all the words and knowledge about spirituality are just ugly.
Because the peace is beyond words. The silence is beyond any understanding or achievement.
Would you say I achieved the love of my life? I attained the love of my life?
There are no words or understandings about it. You find silence, then you just want to be in that silence.
Words just can't touch it. Emotions can't touch it. Yet you recognize it as the essential nature of everything and you fall in love with it.
"In meditation, we are simply noticing that everything is.
It is not the 'everything' that is important, it is the is-ness itself that is the key.
The mind is always caught up in the content.
But awareness only experiences the essence.
Whether there is anger or a thought of a chocolate brownie or a heavy rain outside.
All of these things are of the same energy.
They exist out of life itself, the one energy that is animating everything.
And even in saying this the mind is agreeing or disagreeing.
The mind is relating to the words as content.
It is trying to comprehend something that cannot really be put in words in the first place.
All the words can really do is point and it is up to you whetheryou give your attention to where the words are pointing or you get caught up in the content of the words.
And if you give your attention to where the words are pointing, then you move beyond words; you move beyond content and rest in that which cannot really be described.
So there is this shift that needs to happen; to move beyond trying to experience things with the intellect or emotion to experiencing what is here beyond intellect and emotion.
To realizing the is-ness of everything.
It is not that thinking has to stop, it is that you stop being transfixed by the content of the thinking and realize that which is always animating the content,
that which is making the content possible in the first place.
The conscious ever flowing energy that is bliss itself.

"What are thoughts? That is the first step in meditation, find out what thoughts are.
And you can't find out what a thought is with thinking.
You have to become aware of the thoughts, by being the awareness, that consciousness that is beyond thought.
Because in the mind, there is the assumption that thought is the truth.
That what you know and what you believe is the ultimate reality.
But once you start looking at thoughts through awareness there is nothing tangible about a thought, there is nothing concrete there.
In meditation, you become aware of a thought and there is nothing there. It's like a smoke screen.
Then what is real? If you investigate what a thought is and you find out it is nothing, just perhaps a subtle movement of energy then what are you left with?
You are left with only what is here in this moment, you are left with that awareness that investigated the thoughts.
Now awareness become reality.
Not the belief of awareness but undeniable experiential awareness.
And then in meditation, you can investigate what is awareness.
And if you do this, awareness turns back upon itself into silence.
