The article discusses the often misunderstood concept of meditation, emphasizing that it is simply about being present with oneself. It dispels common myths, such as thinking meditation is an advanced practice only for the enlightened few. Authors Susan Piver and Jivana Heyman highlight that meditation can take various forms, including walking or just paying attention, and it's essential to realize there's no 'right' way to meditate. Starting small, even with just one minute, can make meditation more accessible and less intimidating.
"Meditation could mean sitting in silence, walking, or simply paying attention. It's whatever allows you to be present and connected to your experience."
"Some people think of meditation as this kind of very advanced state of being almost enlightened already. But if you're trying to learn meditation and you think enlightenment is the prerequisite, you're bound to resist it."
