Bottom-Up – Top-Down
from Meditation and Beyond · host Elliott S. Dacher, M.D.
Send us Fan Mail A question that all meditators confront is how to stabilize the qualities we experience in our natural state – serenity, spontaneous realizations, freedom from conditioning, and a natural simplicity and ease. These qualities often appear only as fleeting experiences, easily disrupted by the pressures of daily life. In other words, we tend to know them as temporary states, not enduring traits. A state is transient, a trait is stable. The work of meditation is the transformation of momentary states into abiding traits, so what was once a passing glimpse becomes a resilient way of being.
