The execution of any thing considerable implies in the first place previous persevering meditation.
I meditate and I also think about meditation. Which is funny. I think about Maharishi, about just the idea of meditating. It gives me something.
I do kabbalistic meditation. It’s not unlike time travel; it can change the past and not just the future. You can look at what was lost and go beyond the grief of what was lost.
I wanted to share the experience of how yoga and meditation have transformed my life, how they have enabled me to observe who I am, first in my body, and then emotionally, and on to a kind of spiritual path.
One of the things I like about performing on the stage is that it is a kind of meditative experience. Time does stand still. You have no concept or feeling of the passing of two or three hours’ time. It’s all kind of one present moment, which is a kind of a description of meditation.
In my experience, psychotherapy at its best is like dual meditation – it’s like a container in which you can be compassionate and mindful toward yourself.
Meditation is a great way to keep my body well-centered while juggling shooting schedules and recording sessions.
My workout involves cardio, jogging, and yoga as well. I am a firm believer of yoga and meditation.
There are different things one can do to establish and hasten the peace process. Meditation is one way.
We live in this thought web; we identify things and put them away and distance ourselves from them. But to be completely present? That is source, that is art, that is spirituality. And meditation is a way to defy fear and experience that source.
What you learn about pain in formal meditation can help you relate to it in your daily life.
Every day I try to do breathing exercises, meditation, and yoga. These things sound awfully cliche, but they help me slow down and try to point to a truth.
The insomnia just perpetuates. I have one bad night, then I get it in my head that I can’t sleep. I’ve been trying these meditation tapes – there are a couple on Spotify – and they’re meant to calm you. But they don’t seem to work.
One way to look at meditation is as a kind of intrapsychic technology that’s been developed over thousands of years by traditions that know a lot about the mind/body connection.
Well, when you’re relaxed, your mind takes you to the whole reality. There’s no such thing as time when you’re really relaxed. That’s why meditation works.
Transcendental meditation is something that can be defined as a means to do what one wants to do in a better way, a right way, for maximum results.
Meditation is the life of the soul: Action, the soul of meditation; and honor the reward of action.
I meditate. Meditation helps me.
Soon silence will have passed into legend. Man has turned his back on silence. Day after day he invents machines and devices that increase noise and distract humanity from the essence of life, contemplation, meditation.
I’m also good at meditation. It involves doing nothing and everything at the same time.
I’m really in touch, whether it’s prayer or meditation… there are so many powers greater than me in the world. I’ve been blessed and lucky enough to have been given a gift to share with other people.
I think most people see drawing as subservient to the subject, a sort of meditation, a studying, a searching observation, in my case, for its own sake.
I hate having to do small talk. I’d rather talk about deep subjects. I’d rather talk about meditation, or the world, or the trees or animals, than small, inane, you know, banter.
I can be stressed, or tired, and I can go into a meditation and it all just flows off of me. I’ll come out of it refreshed and centered and that’s how I’ll feel and it’ll carry through the day.
The mantra that you’re given in Transcendental Meditation you keep to yourself. The reason being, true happiness is not out there, true happiness lies within.
I have a mystical bent, and I pursue daily meditations that follow the liturgical calendar – what are called the ‘daily offices’ of the church.
When I’m home on a break, I lock myself in my room and play guitar. After two or three hours, I start getting into this total meditation. It’s a feeling few people experience, and that’s usually when I come up with weird stuff. It just flows. I can’t force myself. I don’t sit down and say I’ve got to practice.
Meditation is a regular part of my day, every day.
I meditate a lot and pray for guidance. If, in a moment of self-contemplation or meditation, I were to feel very strongly that I shouldn’t be an entertainer anymore, that I should be doing something else, I would stop immediately.
Prayer is when you talk to God. Meditation is when you’re listening. Playing the piano allows you to do both at the same time.
Playing yidaki, for me, is a meditation. It’s incredibly deep breathing, but also, it’s a structured process where you’re circulating air.
We come to meditation to learn how not to act out the habitual tendencies we generally live by – those actions that create suffering for ourselves and others, and get us into so much trouble.
I’ve started meditation. I even train in Kung Fu. I’m into my juicing, my healthy eating – my whole lifestyle has taken a massive turn.
In the Buddhist learning process, we say three stages. The first is hearing, the second is contemplation, and the third is meditation.
I trained myself out of the habit of relying on notifications to make me feel good so that I could dedicate my time to my personal two-hour meditation practice every morning.
In his late quartets, Beethoven introduces an element that shouldn’t be there, that should be left for meditation, though I love them. I can see that through them came Wagner and Mahler and Schoenberg and Berg. And then came Tracey Emin. And I can see it all as one downward path.
There are techniques of Buddhism, such as meditation, that anyone can adopt.
I always try meditation. Meditation means always keeping one mind, not-moving mind.
One of the regular intervals of meditation in my life, believe it or not, is in my car.
You need to constantly remind yourself what is the most important thing that is happening in the world – what is the most important thing that is happening in history. The discipline to have this focus is something I gained from meditation.
I enjoy meditation. I think the artist’s position is often to mend the things we feel are broken. Whether that’s between two cultures or two thoughts. We’re always trying to reach, trying to expand something.
I will never have anything that is remotely technical near my bath time. I completely zone out and stare up at the ceiling. For me, it’s like a form of meditation. It’s a time where I can just actually turn off.
Meditation is all about the pursuit of nothingness. It’s like the ultimate rest. It’s better than the best sleep you’ve ever had. It’s a quieting of the mind. It sharpens everything, especially your appreciation of your surroundings. It keeps life fresh.
Meditation is to be aware of every thought and of every feeling, never to say it is right or wrong, but just to watch it and move with it. In that watching, you begin to understand the whole movement of thought and feeling. And out of this awareness comes silence.
The real meditation practice is how we live our lives from moment to moment to moment.
Many scientists think that philosophy has no place, so for me it’s a sad time because the role of reflection, contemplation, meditation, self inquiry, insight, intuition, imagination, creativity, free will, is in a way not given any importance, which is the domain of philosophers.
We may not realise it, but dancing is a form of meditation.
I do 20 minutes of transcendental meditation every morning, and I try to do it in the afternoon, too.

Whether you’re keeping a journal or writing as a meditation, it’s the same thing. What’s important is you’re having a relationship with your mind.
Not that I’m any good at it, but the beauty of meditation is that it liberates us from our own thoughts.
Meditation makes the entire nervous system go into a field of coherence.
I really try to take a step back from the soccer world and going a thousand miles an hour every day. I like to do some sort of either meditation or mental visualization or breathing exercises – something to calm my mind down because a lot of times, it’s just going faster than it should.
Meditation has been a loyal friend to me. It has helped me write my books.
Meditation is essential. I try to start each morning with a focus on the breath and three things I’m grateful for.
We can live without religion and meditation, but we cannot survive without human affection.
My life coach is very spiritual, and I do a lot of meditation and mantras.
We can live without religion and meditation, but we cannot survive without human affection.
Prayer is more than meditation. In meditation, the source of strength is one’s self. When one prays, he goes to a source of strength greater than his own.
