"Can we, just for a moment, stop thinking about our lives, and instead, find the courage to actually inhabit them? Can we begin to feel our feet on the ground? Notice what’s happening in our thinking? Sense our bodies instead of running away from them into some addictive, distracting behaviour? Hear all the sounds happening around us? A bird singing. The buzz of the refrigerator. An airplane in the distance. Feel a fluttery sensation in the belly, a tightness in the throat, a pressure between the eyes? This is true meditation – not trying to enter into some altered state, but finding the courage to live; to hear with fresh ears, see with unprejudiced eyes, taste the moment as if it were the first and only one in existence." - - Jeff Foster
