Description
A course on returning to contentment using meditation. In this course, we learn to use 'sitting in contentment' to find an emotional comfort-spot - and from that spot begin to understand those parts of us that cannot sit still. We will learn the two steps of first finding contentment each day in mediation and then to find a deeper contentment through bring those parts of us that are unable to meditate to healing rest.
What is Meditation??
Meditation is simply ‘sitting in contentment’ and if we cannot remember how this feels we can simply begin by pretending – but we are not pretending. We simply have been discontented so long we cannot remember our original state of being of being content.
Meditation allows us to ‘sit in contentment’ in the present moment for a few minutes each day and watch those parts of us that cannot sit with us. And how can they? These are the parts of us that cannot sit in contentment because they require more to feel content, requirements we formed in the past. So, our thinking created these energies making us the perfect self-healer.
Meditation allows us to first watch from a place of safety, then to understand how these energies form, and then to heal our energies that now compete for control of our present moment. This leaves us sitting in contentment permanently, our original state before we became discontented.
You see, we have 100 percent potential. But if 60% of our potential, our thinking is tied up in these energies that are monitoring, protecting, and searching for past experiences, only 40% of our potential is available as energy in the present moment to be anything new. We are weak even though we have expended lots of potential. 100 percent of our potential – to produce a 40% result.
Meditation builds cooperation where conflict was, and this can increase our present consciousness to 100 percent very easily.
Watch first, understand next, and then heal. This is the power of meditation.

Instructor
A follower of Buddha method of meditation more than other Buddhist traditions of chanting, though I see the beauty in all of it. So much is revealed when we 'sit in our original state of contentment' in meditation and remember that this is our natural state.
I own a meditation/crystal shop called The Dancing Buddha. It is open Sat and Sun 9-5 at 1712 Dundas Street, London Ontario (Gibraltar Weekend Market)
I have self-published The Secret of Effortless Existence in 2008 that is no longer available. Too many questions and not enough answers, but this led to finding a new and wonderful understanding of the Buddha's journey into stillness. The result is my dedicated journey into meditation as a tool to help others find contentment.
