How can the average person begin to notice the ways they already unconsciously meditate?
You can learn to meditate, but meditation is actually a shifted state of consciousness that we all go in and out of all the time. You already have your own natural way of meditating, you simply need to build upon what you already do. Scan your life and recognize the ways in which you declutch the mind—the moments when your body relaxes, worry and thinking recede and you feel more deeply connected with yourself. This may be through prayer, gardening, making love, walking in nature or taking a nap—whatever is the most natural way for you to sit back in the saddle and bring about greater awareness.
