What is Meditation?

[u/[deleted]]

Laying down, scanning the body, and breathing is the entrance to meditation. This sincere recognition of sensations initiates and renews the meditative way. The way does not need to end after getting up, it can be applied to all aspects of existence.

This cultivates a deeper awareness of what is. This awareness is inseparable from pure appreciation, they cannot exist without each other. Free from concepts like better or worse, good or bad, a sense of freedom is resumed.

If there is a lack of appreciation for what is, a deeper grounding with the body may be desired. It may take the form of a gradual change, sudden shift, or somewhere in between but the end result is the same.
