In a Nutshell

COME HOME

Meditation is the practice of forgetting self.

What does that mean to forget self?  Most of us take ourselves to be our stories.  How we grew up, what we aspire to be, and how we see ourselves compared to others. 

So meditation is the practice of noticing these stories and letting them go.  

The only thing any spiritual teacher can tell you is that you are not what or who you take yourself to be.

Let go and come home.

Peace on you.
