The vibrantly healthy body functions perfectly as if it were transparent, just like a motor vehicle tuned to precision runs perfectly while driven, as the driver is barely aware of the pavement beneath its wheels. Likewise with your mind. The mind remains at peace. Similarly with your soul. When awareness is handled skillfully through meditation, and you learn to access inner calm especially with eyes open in midst of your family and career responsibilities, then your heart remains in balance with your mind.
Deep calmness prevails.
Love, compassion and gratitude are spontaneously experienced. Wisdom and insight are ongoing features of life. Conscious connection with spirit is forever maintained. Meditation helps to settle the mind and nervous system, and to directly experience inner calm. Meditation trains the mind to be quietly content rather than continually operating in its constant chatter mode.
