Do you practice meditation to achieve some particular state? We do not practice meditation to achieve some particular state. Meditation is primarily the cultivation of awareness, what we call “mindfulness”. So how do we practice the cultivation of mindfulness through the practice of meditation?
When practising mindfulness , we cultivate and strengthen awareness enough to take a step back and not merely react. With mindful awareness , we can insert a gap or a pause between us and what we experience so that we are no longer carried away by our reactive patterns. In that little gap, there exist the freedom to respond in a fresh and less predetermined way.
