The Importance of Stillness in Meditation

The three key words of this meditation are stillness, silence and space. If you're moving your hands or your feet, focus on the stillness in which that movement is occurring instead of the movement itself. Find the stillness beneath every light bulb that's humming a little near you and the sounds made by your computer. Anything that's moving or changing at all, find the stillness through which all life moves. All forms that perish, other forms supply, by turns we catch the vital breath and die. Like bubbles in the sea of matter born, we rise, we break, and to that sea return.
