To meditate truly is to experience our individual, pure consciousness, without the distractions brought on by conceptualizations, ideas, memories, expectations, and so on. To recognize the restless activity of thought and realize the distracted nature of the mind’s ongoing narrative; to practice stillness and tranquility away from the tumult of daily and worldly distractions; to experience living unified in flesh and spirit: this is meditation.
It is the act of becoming one’s true self.
