yes, isnt it @Wolfram Grohnert I also had that feeling of generosity was first. The moment they realized the gift in that!

I recognize meditation as a foundational pillar, as also highlighted in High on Life. I began meditating as we entered the new millennium, and it has continued to grow into a cornerstone of my daily life. My practice has shifted with the seasons of life, moving through different approaches and depths. You mentioned “quantity vs. quality,” and that is such an important point. Beautiful that you’ve found what truly brings value for you. When I teach, I usually support people in first building a simple routine. Do it simply — rather than not doing it. Consistency builds the habit, and once the habit is there, it becomes so much easier to refine and deepen the practice. For many people, the more inner noise there is: in thoughts, emotions, or the body — the more resistance they feel when they encounter pure silence. This is why discovering what works is deeply individual: music, guidance, movement, tai chi, qi gong, yoga. A personal combination of body awareness and awareness-of-awareness often emerges over time.And when we ask “does it work?” the real question is: For what? What is the intention, the longing, the purpose? Relaxation, energy, balance, depth, rest, purpose, love? Different methods serve different needs. The deeper one moves into meditation, the more paradoxes reveal themselves — and this cannot be emphasized enough. The path opens through meeting what first seems contradictory. A method can be transformative for years and later be seen as something that prevented you from meeting yourself — yet it may have served you perfectly for that phase of life. Many practices cultivate flexibility in mind, emotions, and body — exploring different states, feelings, and sensations. This is valuable and supportive. Yet eventually, some people reach a saturation point with the carousel of the relative mind–body experience. Consciously or unconsciously, they begin to long for beingness. Realizing what this means is a milestone. It often takes many glimpses before it settles — the unchanging, unconditional presence, the silent background of being. Even this is only an approximation, because the ways being reveals itself are infinite: transparent, ecstatic, fulfilling, loving. And as life unfolds, new veils usually appear to be met and seen through. 🙏

@Jenny Boljang yes, and usually for getting started, something that has a carrot, as in giving energy, joy, peace etc. With time this becomes secondary. and also, yes, starting out wanting to perform can sometimes backfire. The resistance triggered can be huge.

@Wolfram Grohnert Thanks for sharing. yes, I believe even the contact with mother should be there. Baby only knows a constant merging, the field of a twin (and mother) is the known sense of home.

Super relevant here! Some task has a start hurdle that needs to be crossed. Also to me it help becoming fully Clear on WHO I need to be for the task. Working on this first can reveals the push/pulls and rebels energies around BEING that one. 📢

@Stückler Julian you are welcome! Sure, we often take if for granted - the sense of I, but often specially when expanding in new areas of life, we have to renew our selves.
