From Relaxation is Key
These words from the Gospel of John melt together in my memory with the comments of a meditation teacher at the Kripalu Center in Lenox Massachusetts. A woman of generous size and larger than life energy, she loved to chant and loved the practice of yoga. Never one to mince words she used to say that meditation “wasn’t about being happy, it was about being free!”
But the truth we discover in meditation is different. What we discover for ourselves, about ourselves, is transformational although not always comfortable.
In Samatha we give the mind something to do - a focal point such as the breath or a mantra (which translates as “mind-tool”). Sitting in Samatha meditation we simply return to the focal point each time we notice a thought, sensation, or emotion. Even if we refocus a hundred times in the space of a few minutes - this is meditation.
