In meditation we take the attention off ourselves, and we’re not trying to observe what’s happening or to control what’s happening. We allow our contemplative side to support our active side. And that feels a little different at first. It’s called the way of unknowing because we don’t quite know what it’s going to take us to. It sounds abstract or difficult at first, but meditate with children – we teach meditation to children in many countries around the world – and you’ll realise that this is utterly and totally natural. One of the wonderful qualities of children, who can meditate so easily, is the beauty of their holiness. They are holy in themselves.
