Meditation

In my previous post I looked at the benefits of meditation. By special request of Gordie, this post will be a very simple “how to” on taking your first steps on the path to learning meditation.

First, the obligatory story filled with worldly wisdom.

I recently started doing Wing Chun, a form of Kung Fu originating from Southern China. One of the most striking things for me thus far during my instruction is how little distance there is between spirituality and actions in eastern cultures. This is perfectly embodied in the eastern martial arts. This connection is completely unrelated to religion, even though many use the power of meditation to strengthen their experience of their religion. It is about being fully invested in your actions. Each action and movement exists for its own sake.
