Don't resist them

Let things flow naturally
forward
in whatever way
they like. "

The biggest mistake
we make
in trying to meditate,
is in
"Trying."
You don't have to try,
you just have to:
Sit Still,
Close your eyes,
Breathe,
Focus on your Breathing.
Don't follow thoughts
(they rarely stop)
notice them
let them arise
and pass on by.
Re- focus on your breathing.
Repeat
until the gong sounds.
Below is a real nice
FREE timer gong
for YOU to use.
Don't expect magic,
enlightenment,
or emptiness.
Just make time to
sit or lie comfortably
every day.
Then
Magic
Enlightenment
and an empty lightness
will surprise You
when they are
Nothing
like you imagined,
and they begin to
accompany you
daily!
