To be alive is to be present here and now with what is. Meditation helps us in staying grounded in the present moment. With time and practice, meditation will open a path towards what is to be alive - to be present and full aware in play with mystery and beauty and love of life. With time it might make you realise that we live on a very strange little speck of rock in a very remote corner of the universe and it is this rock that allows us to be alive. Cherish it.
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.
