Today's Meditation(s):

The Pocket Thich Nhat Hanh (ed. by Melvin McLeod), Your True Home

I've had trouble with meditation up to now. Bringing my mind to a quiet state has been difficult, unfulfilled, in my previous attempts.

Perhaps because that last sentence was active? Bringing, rather than, say, following or allowing or watching.

I know I've entered flow states during tasks where I could let my mind relax, but the traditional sitting cross-legged and breathing image of meditation had been unsuccessful for me.
