Meditation makes life more peaceful. You probably already know that. Yet many people claim it is hard, that it demands endless practice, focus, or concentration. Natural meditation shows a simpler way.
Meditation makes life more peaceful. You probably already know that. Yet many people insist it is difficult, that it requires heavy practice, sharp focus, or intense concentration. They believe it means blanking the mind, forcing calm, or trying hard to feel happy. All that effort works against you and leaves you less peaceful. There is no “trying” in natural meditation. Just as a feather settles gently to the ground, anyone can settle into natural meditation. Do not “try.” Simply allow. Do not “do.” Simply be.
You can meditate effortlessly on anything: a single breath, a sound, your senses, the heart, the sky, or simply the sense of “I.” You do not need a special posture, and you can practice anywhere, even for just a few minutes a day. It is easy because it is natural. There is a book on this called “Natural Meditation: A Guide to Effortless Meditative Practice” that can help you get started with meditation in a big way.
