“Don’t meditate to fix yourself, to heal yourself, to improve
yourself, to redeem yourself; rather, do it as an act of love, of deep
warm friendship to yourself. In this way there is no longer any need
for the subtle aggression of self-improvement, for the endless guilt
of not doing enough. It offers the possibility of an end to the
ceaseless round of trying so hard that wraps so many people’s lives in
a knot. Instead there is now meditation as an act of love. How
endlessly delightful and encouraging.”
Bob Sharples, from Meditation: Calming the Mind
