In this book you will learn how to adapt your practice to the changing conditions in your life. Meditation is the practice of giving in to such cravings and letting them carry us into our interior worlds. This feels like an indulgence, and the sense of luxury is one of the ways of knowing you are doing it right. Meditation is powered by our deepest cravings, not by discipline. No one with a busy life can or should try to empty their minds, whatever that means.
Imposition just makes a person more restless.
Meditation for people who live in the world should strengthen the ego and enliven the connection to the fires of passion. The more you embrace your passion, the more readily you will go beyond it to places of total repose inside yourself. Meditation is quietly sexy, in the way that getting a massage or listening to great music is. The subtle currents of electricity that flow sweetly through the body, touching you everywhere, are to be cherished. Meditation allows the body to tune itself up to be ready for work, play, sleep, and all the exquisite pleasures of life.
