Yoga introduced me to a style of meditation. The only meditation I would have done before would be in the writing of songs.

Prayer and temptation, the Bible and meditation, make a true minister of the gospel.

Grief, which disposes gentle natures to retirement, to inaction, and to meditation, only makes restless spirits more restless.

Music is not a work for me – it’s a form of meditation, and you don’t need to work hard for it.

The years I have squandered in puerile excitement, in going hither and thither, in seeking to force nature and time, I ought to have spent in solitude and meditation, in endeavoring to make myself worthy of being loved

I enjoy mediation. I think the artist’s position is often to mend the things we feel are broken. Whether that’s between two cultures or two thoughts. We’re always trying to reach, trying to expand something.

Meditation is one of the ways in which the spiritual man keeps himself awake

I witness that I’m out of alignment with my power. I choose to see peace instead of this.

In meditation, we activate synchronistic support and connection to the Universe.

In mindfulness one is not only restful and happy, but alert and awake. Meditation is not evasion; it is a serene encounter with reality

You have to learn how to help a wounded child while still practicing mindful breathing. You should not allow yourself to get lost in action. Action should be meditation at the same time.

Breathing in, I calm body and mind. Breathing out, I smile. Dwelling in the present moment I know this is the only moment

Movement is meditation. Move to win.

Your concentration must come as easily as the breath. Fix yourself on one thing and try to hold onto it. All will come right. Meditation is sticking to one thought. That single thought keeps away other thoughts. The dissipated mind is a sign of its weakness. By constant meditation it gains strength.

See what helps you to keep away all other thoughts and adopt that method for your meditation.

Meditation helps concentration of the mind. Then the mind is free from thoughts and is in the meditated form.

There are no impediments to meditation. The very thought of such obstacles is the greatest impediment.

Meditation applies the brakes to the mind.

Meditation is sticking to one thought. That single thought keeps away other thoughts; distraction of mind is a sign of its weakness; by constant meditation it gains strength.

Meditation depends upon the strength of mind. It must be unceasing even when one is engaged in work. Particular time for it is meant for novices.

When there are thoughts, it is distraction: when there are no thoughts, it is meditation

Some people awaken spiritually without ever coming into contact with any meditation technique or any spiritual teaching. They may awaken simply because they can’t stand the suffering anymore.

For me, training is my meditation, my yoga, hiking, biking all rolled into one. Wake up early in the morning, generally around 4 o’clock, and I’ll do my cardio on an empty stomach. Stretch, have a big breakfast, and then I’ll go train.

Action is more important than meditation.

Sleep is the best meditation.

We can live without religion and meditation, but we cannot survive without human affection.

Meditate. Live purely. Be quiet. Do your work with mastery. Like the moon, come out from behind the clouds! Shine.

Delight in meditation and solitude. Compose yourself, be happy. You are a seeker.

Meditate. Breathe consciously. Listen. Pay attention. Treasure every moment. Make the connection.

Truth is the offspring of silence and meditation.

Reading makes a full man; meditation, a profound man; discourse, a clear man.

A free man thinks of death least of all things, and his wisdom is a meditation not of death but of life.
