meditation

"Meditation is not something that you do. It is, only when your doer has gone and you are totally relaxed and not doing anything, in a deep state of let-go, rest - there is meditation. Then meditation flowers. It is the flowering of your being. It has nothing to do with becoming. It is not an achievement, it is not an improvement; it is just being that which you already are."
-Osho

Many people view meditation as a solution, a way to BRING happiness or relief or peace of mind, when rather it is supposed to come AFTER those things. Its backwards to be seeking meditation and almost impossible to really achieve it when you are burdened by all the things that are making you seek meditation as your solution. The real approach is actually to change your problems, issues, burdens, or at least your view on them, and find your own happiness, and when you experience that inner joy and peace, a meditative state follows naturally. You find it in all the spaces in between, in all the moments where you are only in that moment in that second, only breathing, wanting nothing more.
