The idea that meditation means what is in between was given to me when I was 18 or so (now I am 51) by my early inspirational teacher Stuart Heller, who made the Walking Your Talk website, WalkingYourTalk.com I am a very slow learner, but I have been thinking and playing with the idea for a long time. I am still learning and exploring.
The complementary approach, attending conscientiously to a single changing thing, like the breath, came from various sources. However, I vividly remember focusing on sitting still when very young, and on listening intently to the changing lyrics and sound of Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel music as a teen.
These early meditative experiences led to my being interested in meditating on all sorts of phenomena, and eventually led to this website. Thanks for playing with me.
