I’ll expand on “do it every day”.

Do it anytime you remember to. You can take one conscious breath right now. Two or twenty when you’re driving. A few more when walking.

My takeaway from meditation is that it changes my perception of me and the mind — from a thinking machine limited to and suffering of the limitations of that — to a much more expansive being for which thinking is one of many modalities, a modality occupying a tiny part of a vast, vast space.

Dwelling as this entity is infinitely more productive and joyous than dwelling in the tiny (by comparison) confines of the thinking one.

Spending more and more of the time as that is where it’s at for me.

The way? Remember that I am identified with the thinking one and use my attention to resensitize myself into the rest.

I recommend “Turning your mind into an ally.” Excellent little book.
