❖ Here are some top takeaways: ❖
➣ People often have various excuses for not meditating, such as being too tired, angry, sad, bored, or restless.
➣ Despite these excuses, meditation often makes people feel better afterward.
➣ These excuses are actually valid reasons to meditate, as meditation allows us to start exactly where we are.
➣ Meditation is not about attaining a goal or state but about opening up to the present experience.
➣ A key aspect of meditation is curiosity about our current feelings and experiences, whether they are comfortable or uncomfortable.
➣ Meditation involves embracing all emotions, both positive and negative, and being curious about them.
➣ Instead of avoiding meditation due to resistance, one can meditate with the resistance and get to know it.
➣ Meditation means being awake and alive to the present moment, regardless of how intense or challenging it may be.
➣ Any experience, no matter how intense or uncomfortable, can be a portal to presence, similar to how every wave is part of the ocean.
➣ The video encourages viewers to start meditating exactly where they are and to embrace all experiences as part of their meditation practice.
