Meditation (an excerpt)

 #Meditation, as described in the ancient Vedic texts, is an exercise of #consciousness that results in the expansion of consciousness beyond the day-to-day experience of duality. It is an experience of unity, which reduces stress and brings increased #creativity and efficiency to the functioning of the inner faculty. This is an exercise that occurs without the mind directing the process. In physical exercise, the mind does not tell the muscles to get stronger; rather, the muscles are strengthened automatically by the exercise process. Likewise, in this exercise of consciousness, that is, meditation, the results are achieved automatically, not by controlling the #mind or any other mental manipulation. The process of meditation goes beyond the mind to the deepest level of the #innerSelf. 

In #recovery, #meditation is a form of #selfcare.
