Quotations about morning meditations:

“Meditation is a process of lightening up, of trusting the basic goodness of what we have and who we are, and of realizing that any wisdom that exists, exists in what we already have. We can lead our life so as to become more awake to who we are and what we’re doing rather than trying to improve or change or get rid of who we are or what we’re doing. The key is to wake up, to become more alert, more inquisitive and curious about ourselves”.

-Pema Chodron

“Feelings come and go like clouds in a windy sky. Conscious breathing is my anchor”.

-Thich Nhat Hahn

To understand the immeasurable, the mind must be extraordinarily quiet, still.

-Jiddu Krishnamurti

Your goal is not to battle with the mind, but to witness the mind.

-Swami Muktananda

“Meditation will not carry you to another world, but it will reveal the most profound and awesome dimensions of the world in which you already live. Calmly contemplating these dimensions and bringing them into the service of compassion and kindness is the right way to make rapid gains in meditation as well as in life”.

-Zen Master Hsing Yun
