The Problem with Meditation

The problem with meditation is that if we cannot sit still in the lotus position for 30 minutes we think meditation is not for us. We believe that meditation is sitting in this posture for 30 minutes. Meditation can have an enormous effect on our lives, in fact our lives will be completely transformed if we can ‘meditate’ for even a moment, let alone 30 minutes. We need to give up this idea we have that if we can’t sit still for 30 minutes then meditation is not for us. Sitting still for 30 minutes is not meditation. Meditation is being at one with ourselves, and we can be at one with ourselves for just a moment. So we need to think what does this ‘being at one with ourselves mean’?
