See, meditation is so easy!&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Children often have a completely natural presence\u2014they are simply in the moment, completely present with themselves and everything that is. For us adults, this is more difficult. Meditation, therefore, means practicing presence without judgment. This is achieved not through cognitive understanding, but through constant practice.<\/p>\n<p>There are many forms of meditation, but its core is always the same: to enter into pure presence\u2014into the here and now. It leads to ourselves, to the divine within us, to a deep perception of what is. It can be a bridge: to love life again, to stay connected to God, to become internally healthy, and to develop further.<br \/>\nWhether dancing or sitting, walking or moving, toning or singing, with a mantra, while peeling potatoes or riding a bike \u2013 meditation can be alive in every moment of everyday life. Perhaps inner images help you, or perhaps your path lies in letting go of words and thoughts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Find out what your personal way is to simply be there lovingly<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-dki0zg-fb0d880249c96cbabad8ad4ed3be5bd7\">\n.flex_column.av-dki0zg-fb0d880249c96cbabad8ad4ed3be5bd7{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-dki0zg-fb0d880249c96cbabad8ad4ed3be5bd7 av_one_fifth  avia-builder-el-5  el_after_av_three_fifth  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding'     ><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-ma9koqww-8117ec13746310d1f75fc5186747d92c\">\n.avia-section.av-ma9koqww-8117ec13746310d1f75fc5186747d92c{\nbackground-color:#e5f1ff;\nbackground-image:unset;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div id='av_section_2'  class='avia-section av-ma9koqww-8117ec13746310d1f75fc5186747d92c main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_section  avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-61'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<div class='flex_column_table av-i8lt-e1aab0593929613983de94bc8d3d60f0 sc-av_one_half av-break-at-tablet-flextable av-equal-height-column-flextable'>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-i8lt-e1aab0593929613983de94bc8d3d60f0\">\n.flex_column.av-i8lt-e1aab0593929613983de94bc8d3d60f0{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-i8lt-e1aab0593929613983de94bc8d3d60f0 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-7  el_before_av_one_half  avia-builder-el-first  first av-break-at-tablet flex_column_table_cell av-equal-height-column av-align-middle av-zero-column-padding'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-37xcl-cf93d517a0ad6635168fed6f2cdf3f65'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h2>Sitting Meditation \u2013 A Path to Silence<\/h2>\n<p>Sitting meditation, also called &quot;sitting in silence,&quot; is one of the most common forms of meditation. It allows you to calm your mind and immerse yourself deeply in the moment.<\/p>\n<p>The practice is simple:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Choose a set time and a quiet room where you will not be disturbed.<\/li>\n<li>Sit on a bench, cushion, or chair. Your thighs should be at an obtuse angle to your body. Rest on the floor.<\/li>\n<li>Stand up straight \u2013 without leaning. Consciously relax your shoulders and feel your body settle into an upright but effortless posture.<\/li>\n<li>Focus on your breath, your heart word or your body.<\/li>\n<li>Set a timer and start with 5 minutes. Gradually increase the time to 20 minutes.<\/li>\n<li>Practice \u2013 without pressure, without expectations, just be there.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Thoughts arise quite naturally. In Buddhism, they are compared to &quot;monkeys&quot; that constantly jump around. But that&#039;s precisely the practice: noticing them, letting them pass\u2014and gently returning to meditation again and again.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Meditation isn&#039;t about being perfect, but about practice, the path of transformation.
