| How do I know I'm meditating? How do I know I'm meditating?
Whew! THis is a hard one. Meditation means different things to different folks. To a religious person, meditation may mean contemplation of God, in prayer or study. To a Zen practitioner, it is entering a space of "sacred emptiness." To a Transcendental meditator, it could be the mental repitition of a sound to the exclusion of all else. And that's just for starters. There are infinite roads to that intangible state called meditation, yet there is a commonality running through all its forms.
