There are many kinds of meditations: guided meditations, manifestation meditations, etc. But, true meditation is not directed towards an object or goal. Rather, It has no goal, no objective, no words. It is a surrender or letting go. Any method that aims to shift a state of mind is limited, and impermanent and likely from the conditioned mind. These methods are various forms of 'mind' becoming more intrigued with itself leading to bondage. True meditation is pure awareness.

Meditation is a discipline much like exercise.  I get committed and in time have to recommit because I drift back into the pattern those neuronal groves. For years I thought meditation was a long process that required dead quiet.  I also thought there would be no way to block the mind from chattering, the body from fighting and the clock from making that sound. Slowly, I came around to the idea that 10 minutes of being quiet was a worthy goal I could accomplish. That started it for me and from there it was a building process.

What really got me going was this feeling that I was coming "home"
