For years - no, decades - I approached meditation in a way that prevented me from experiencing its true essence. I was trying to meditate. I was looking for the right way. I wanted the best process. I missed the point. Recently, I found a copy of "Meditations" by Jiddu Krishnamurti. It is a collection of Krishnamurti's ideas - from writings and talks - about meditation. I have found his perspective to be gentle yet powerful. And, finally, I feel like someone is pointing to what meditation really is and how to meditate. In this episode, I talk about three short passages from the book and relate them to my experience, that of my clients, and provide some grist for you own mill.
