Meditation Quotes: 12 of the BestWhy are meditation quotes useful? You might find them inspiring. Maybe they help you meditate when you don't feel like it. Or you might be reassured by an experienced voice......I think the right words (usually just a few) can open your mind to a new way of looking at things. Shift your perspective just a little. So everything seems to fall into place. Here's 12 of my favourite meditation quotes.... On Effort, Expectation and Childlike Innocence"Meditation is at its most potent when you have no expectation when you're open to everything and when you maintain an attitude of naive fascination." Paul Wilson The Quiet "The only way you can do anything of value is to have the effort come out of non-doing and let go of caring whether it will be of use or not." Jon Kabat-Zinn Wherever you go there you are "Whenever you try to exert control over the natural ebb and flow of life, you end up either frustrated or disappointed- because it can't be controlled. Whenever you apply effort to trying to relax and slow down, you produce the opposite effect. Whenever you try to dictate the outcome of your meditation you negate its most wondrous benefit- the pleasure of simply being." Paul Wilson The Quiet In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert's there are few Shunryu Suzuki On Breathing and Body Meditation"We can use breathing meditation to deepen our ability to dwell in deep states of calmness and concentrated awareness. Staying with the breath no matter what ultimately leads to deep experiences of calmness and awareness." Jon Kabt-Zinn Full Catastrophe Living What we call I is just a swinging door, which moves when we inhale and when we exhale Shunryu Suzuki "By the time we have completed the body scan, it can feel as if the entire body has dropped away or has become transparent. It can feel as if there is nothing but the breath flowing freely across all the boundaries of the body." Jon Kabt-Zinn Full Catastrophe Living On Sitting"In the correct meditation posture your mind and body have great power to accept things as they are whether agreeable or disagreeable." Shunryu Suzuki Inspirational Quotes About Meditation in Everday LifeIn walking meditation you are not walking to get anyplace. The challenge is to be fully with this step and with this breath. Kabat-Zinn Wherever You Go There You Are On AcceptanceIn the state of acceptance you see very clearly what needs to be done, and you take action, doing one thing at a time and focusing on one thing at time. Learn from nature. See how everything gets accomplished without dissatisfaction or unhappiness. Ekhart Tolle The Power of Now How often each day would you have to say I don't want to be where I am? What does it feel like when you don't want to be where you are- the traffic jam, your place of work, the airport lounge, and the people you are with? It has been said: wherever you go there you are. In other words you are always here. Why is it so hard to accept that? Surrender is surrender to this moment not to a story through which you interpret this moment and then try to resign yourself to it. Eckhart Tolle Stillness Speaks On Not Trying Too HardMeditation is like farming..... " the right soil is required to grow anything, nothing will grow if the soil is polluted by striving or pushing too hard". Jon Kabt-Zinn Enjoyed these meditation quotes....?Then read
