A very wise man once said ‘life is suffering’. In modern life our focus is always driven by Desire for things we want. It’s the driving force and the motivation behind a great amount of what we do and the reason why we do it. Yet this same desire is also the root cause of unhappiness, when we fail to achieve what we desire we experience disappointment, unhappiness and a sense of failure.

Meditation is about discovering an inward answer that is not driven by material desire, a way to escape the cycle of human unhappiness. Our experience of the world is almost entirely a state of mind or otherwise known as your perception, and meditation is a vehicle through which we can find release and generate a new clarity of thought.

When you change your mind you change your world. So what are we trying to attain with meditation?

If you close your eyes right now and listen, you’ll hear that your mind is an extremely noisy place. It’s full of not audible noise but ‘thought noise’. That is to say crowded with mundane and useless thought garble. Meditation insists that lying underneath all of that low grade thought chaos sits a still and shining mind state perfectly at rest. To experience that state of mind in meditation and to enjoy the bliss of finally seeing things as they really are is the true reward of meditation.

This can be achieved by ANYONE who practices meditation consistently enough and with due diligence. It’s not something reserved for higher beings, Buddha’s or saints… rather its our natural state of mind and you already have it. It’s just buried under the noise of our modern world.
