It is imperative that we review the "why" behind our practice at this time. I know that it is still very early in our run at establishing our daily meditation practice but if you have learned anything at all thus far, it is that the mind is seldom very focused. We are like cats focused on the laser beam of our thoughts; running up walls and scurrying back and forth across the floor. Our backs are arched and we are poised to see where our mind will take us next.
In this very early stage of meditation, often called mindfulness meditation, we are learning to develop concentration. The development of concentration will create a measure of tranquility: it is at this stage that we will begin to move our concentration away from the breath and onto our other two forms of meditation.
Focus on the picture above
and imagine
that we can express ourselves
as both the holder
and the one being held......
This is the mountain,
the oasis,
to which we now
journey

What do you feel?
Where do you feel it?
Think on these things......
