Meditation is there to produce awareness


Meditation is not only there to achieve altered states of consciousness or to send us into emotional highs, or raise our vibration.  Meditation is there to produce awareness in us and it is much more than something you practice for yourself. It is something you do to benefit both yourself and others through by bringing awareness into your actions. 

Because only through awareness of the consequences of our positive, neutral and negative actions and what gives rise to them can we end the cycle of violence in ourselves each other and the world as a whole.

To clear away the clouds in meditation whenever you notice that your mind is lost in thought you acknowledged that and return back to your anchor of attention and the sky like nature of mind. With time and practice, this clearing away of the clouds results in the breaking of the sheets of snow and ice that we are encased in or the breaking up of our delusions and our habitual patterns of reactivity.
