Juniper's blueprint for engaging a path of meditation
Excerpt
“In a world that consumes us with outer pressures and
responsibilities, how are we to cultivate peace of mind,
compassion, humility, and the capacity to live fully and
freely? The answer is to turn inward, to discover a wisdom
that sees beyond the conventions of day-to-day life, and to
realize the potential of our minds. In this work we will
introduce the elements of this journey - Meditation, Balance,
Compassion and Insight - and describe how to go about
engaging them.”
Learning To Meditate
Excerpt
“Meditation is the foundation of training the mind.
It comprises a rich collection of practices that cultivate
focus, stability, insight, and awareness. We can think of
meditation as exercise for the mind. Just as physical
exercise strengthens the body, meditation strengthens the mind.”
