Hi Dorian,

You wished for another word for meditation. How about two words: “Awareness” and “Consciousness?” All meditation techniques are simply methods to direct your awareness, and awareness is (in meditation terms) composed of mantra — any object/thought/specific aspect of the bigger picture, and mindfulness — the overall acceptance and frame around all the mantras/aspects contained within the bigger picture.

Obviously, some people aren’t all that accepting, but the ideal frame is one of mindfulness and compassion.

Awareness evolves and changes. 40 – 50,000 years ago modern awareness/consciousness evolved, and we’re headed for another major change. I’ve written about this on my Website. If you want to check it out, the origin of meditation is a good place to start:

Thank you,

Nice article. I've never been all that great at relaxing enough to do any type of meditation. I like the experimenting with different tonalities to find the one that is right for you advice. I'm going to give this another try. And hey, if it doesn't work, at least I've found a few minutes of peace and quiet, right? Damien: loving this new template!!!!
