Meditation Introduction

How to meditate: Bring your attention back to your breath. Repeat as necessary. Discussed exercise from Eckhart Tolle to show the energy/aliveness underneath experience. Showed that energy as the oneness of being. Mentioned that five minutes of meditation a day is all we need to get started down a very important road of growth. Our mind is capable of opening our focus to many things at the same time. Discussed real life applications for meditation and presence. Use it to work with anger, sadness, physical pain, etc. Mentioned Pema Chodron’s quote about the fact that if we knew where our pain came from, we would meditate like our hair was on fire.
