Two Kinds of Meditation

There are essentially two different types of meditation. The first involves doing; the second involves being. The vast majority of meditation practices involve some kind of controlling or focussing of the mind on an object, such as a mantra, the breath or a flame. Then there is one unique kind of meditation, which should be called a non-meditation, or a non-practice, because it does not require doing anything at all. It requires simply being. Simply being is the ultimate meditation, or prayer, for which all other meditations and prayers are a preparation. As we sink deeply into being, our being loses all the qualities that it has acquired from the content of experience. In sinking into being, we leave behind our turbulent thoughts and agitated feelings, and we sink into the silent depths of our self, into the silent depths of being.
