The Power of Meditation
by Edward Viljoen
If the pace of your life cannot be slowed down
or de-cluttered right away, you can apply the remedy
of slowing down your mind.
Edward ViljoenThe Power of Meditation
Although relaxation and recreation are important
parts of a balanced life they are different
activities and different effects to meditation.
Edward ViljoenThe Power of Meditation
Meditation requires practice, and with a schedule of regular sitting you will develop momentum and that momentum will take you beyond what this or any other book can impart to you.Edward ViljoenThe Power of Meditation
Meditation opens a doorway between the world of how things appear to be and the world of how things really are.Edward ViljoenThe Power of Meditation
A spiritual life directed by intellect only is missing out on a richness of wisdom and peace that has always been inside us, possibly hidden below the surface activity of thought and ideas of who we are.Edward ViljoenThe Power of Meditation
I closed my eyes, and instead of trying to see something, or trying to think something, or feel something, I started instead to notice what happened when I sat down in this way and observed.Edward ViljoenThe Power of Meditation
So I didn’t try to tame my mind, instead I made
friends with it. By that I mean I dropped my
mental fight with what I discovered inside.
Edward ViljoenThe Power of Meditation
Sitting in quietness without a fixed agenda is
a way of encouraging ourselves to take in the
imperfections of life with a little more gentleness,
less embarrassment, shame or self-criticism.
