Please understand that meditation has nothing to do with the life of a monk or an ascetic who seeks to cut the world as is too often perceived. This is not a belief or a religion. You do not need to change your life for you to open meditation. Meditation is a quality in you that is simply a party or in other words an internal vigilance and mindfulness in the moment. There are many meditation techniques that help the novice to discover and get in touch with his inner: for example, Vipassana meditation, Zazen, the active meditations from Osho, Tantric meditation, Buddhist meditation, etc.. etc.. But in the ultimate sense, meditation is not a technique, it is an understanding, an awareness of what we really are. The final understanding is often still a long way off for us and that is why meditation techniques are needed, until the state of meditation has become, not just one time experience but an intrinsic part of ourselves, while like breathing for example. It is in us and only us, we can find deep relaxation, calm and true love. These qualities can not come from money, social recognition or romantic partner. Basically, we all know, but we forget so often! There are many different ideas, even contradictory, about what meditation is, but the basic approach is the need for the meditator to understand the nature of the mind rather than fight with him.

Basically, we all know, but we forget so often! Most of the time we are taken or dominated our thoughts or feelings. It follows that we tend to believe that we are these thoughts, these emotions. Meditation is that state of Being, just being a pure experience without interference from the body or the mind. It is a natural state that we have forgotten the access. Meditate means "to become a witness," to simply observe the thoughts, emotions and physical sensations that are in us. It is a process to no longer identify with the outer personality with the ego.
Meditation helps us to not just be a slave to this world of thoughts and emotions, but to become an observer, a silent witness who acquires natural ability to know what is really its own nature.
Once we are free, spacious and quiet, life becomes more harmonious! If you feel good, open to others, sensitive, more relaxed and quiet, then you're on the right track!
