Put on a good habit

What I’d like to do is share with you an understanding of meditation that might resonate with you. Really the most important way to learn about meditation is to do it, practise it together. There is a group dynamic to meditation, just as there is in recovery. The two are very interestingly comparable or complementary, actually I think. In a 12-Step Programme one is unlearning a habit, a deeply ingrained, physically and chemically conditioned habit with very complicated and strong psychological and physiological forms and patterns. So one is breaking out of that, breaking a habit. In learning to meditate one is learning to put on a good habit.
