I have just finished a 6 day meditation course - not as hectic at the Vipassana course. This one was a lot more nurturing and gentle. It's called Art of Living. I have done the course once before. As a repeater I took a lot more from the course than the first time. Now I have made a commitment - for the next 90 days I will be getting up between 4.30 and 5.15am, and every morning for the next 13 weeks and one day, I will practise this meditation. This morning was the second day, and already easier! And some crazy things are happing - it's good. It's more than good, it's fantastic! Do go to the link that is attacked to the heading of this post and read more about Art of Living for your self :)

Meditation is diving deep within at this moment.
Bring the mind, which is all over the place, back to its source.
In meditation - your mind is alert, and all other organs are in deep rest.
Repose in the cool, calm, serene depth of your Being.
Letting go and Meditation
Do you think that meditation is deep concentration? Then you’re in for a surprise:
Meditation is de-concentration, letting go.
To meditate:
- Let go - of anger and events from the past

Meditation is accepting this moment, and living every moment totally with depth.
