I was happy to come across your post and your insight into mediation as I very much think that the universe has provided this opportunity for me. This past year has been one of tremendous personal growth for me as well as many challenges. I have been able to read much more and am working on becoming a more aware, compassionate person trying to live in the moment. As part of my path, I have read about meditation and wanted to begin the New Year by learning some basic meditation techniques and acknowledging the different types that are available so that I could put a daily ritual in place. I have researched and found many resources, but they are without recommendation...so I was happy to read your words and thought I would reach out as I would welcome any insight that you can share into meditation and how to begin a daily practice.
