As I continue to read about personal/spiritual growth, I often see meditation being recommended for a variety of reasons. However, the mechanics of meditation are never discussed, leaving me rudderless.
How exactly does one meditate? My rookie approach is to try and silence my mind and then monitor what I'm thinking. This seems to help me connect with my subconscious mind, but surely there must be a more effective approach. Additionally, Erin discusses different methods of meditation. Where can I read about these different methods?
It seems like meditation would have been a topic covered in Spirituality 101, but apparently I was sick the day the lesson was taught.
Thanks
