Meditation involves connecting with life exactly where life is touching you

​Meditation involves connecting with life exactly where life is touching you. The goal is not to alter or control your experience, escape from difficult feelings, or access higher states of consciousness. It is about embracing any part of yourself that resists meditation and beginning from there. Take a brief moment now to feel the sensations in your feet and the weight and position of your hands. Observe the sensations in your body. Notice any tension or relaxation in your face, shoulders,  jaw. Acknowledge your unique experience in this moment and bless it with your attention. Remember that this moment is fleeting and will never come again. Fully embrace it.
