There is a lot of nonsense talked about meditation. I do not mean what it can do for you because that is difficult to prove one way or the other. I have read people saying that they found all sorts of things in meditation and who am I to say that they did not just because I have not had the same experience.

I believe that there are many stages of evolution and therefore what one person experiences in one way another might experience in a completely different way.

No, I mean that there is a lot of rubbish talked about how one has to meditate. I am reading an piece right now by someone who says: ‘… for a successful meditation practice, everything has to be perfect ….. the room has to be set up in such a way …’ and so it goes on. The person who wrote that piece seems never to have even thought leave alone ever meditated.

Meditation has always been most frequently carried out by people with a spiritual bent. Of those people, most people who meditated were monks, because they were seeking enlightenment and had the time and tranquility to meditate. It was difficult to find the time or the quietness if you were a subsistence farmer with ten kids running around.

Anyway, lower orders of monks are not famous for living opulent lives where ‘everything … is ideal’. They live quiet lives and when they want to meditate, they will not be disturbed, no matter where they are but particularly in their cells.

My father used to drive out to a cliff top and meditate behind a bush gazing out 100 feet above the Bristol Channel. Often he did it in the middle of the night.

It is best that the people you live with understand that when you want to meditate that they should endeavor not to make a great deal of noise and certainly not call you by name or barge into the room where you are.

How you can accomplish this in your household, you know better than I, but talking to cohabitants and displaying a sign in a prominent position can help as can always meditating at the same hour of the day, although is not normally practical. Most of us have to take our free time when we can.

Turn off anything that makes a noise. Turn off phones and even the door bell, if you can. Open the window, if it is not unbearably cold or raining cats and dogs. Take a shower and put on loose-fitting comfortable clothes like pyjamas.

Sit on the floor, if you can; cross-legged, if you can. If you are nearly there, try sitting on a cushion or pillow. There are things called zafu or meditation pillows, which are small and thick.

Some are round and others are square, but a round zafu may be 12 inches in diameter and four to six inches thick. This is to raise you off the ground enough to take the strain off your hips and knees, if you are not used to sitting cross-legged.

It will encourage a good posture, that is a straight back. It is also softer on the behind and when you are sitting comfortably, you may begin.

A few years ago, I was not a Christian. Up until that point in my life, I couldn’t see the purpose of being part of any faith. Maybe it has to do with my family and their lack of any kind of belief system. Some people might say that I was just lost, looking for a purpose in life.

That all changed when I was introduced to a certain church of which my friend was a member. This person was my neighbor for a few years but I didn’t really know anything about their Christian faith. I saw them leave to go somewhere every Sunday, but it didn’t occur to me that they were going to church.

All of a sudden one day I felt this urge to go talk to them about their beliefs, because by that time I assumed that they were going to a church on Sunday. I went and knocked on their door with the intent to ask a few questions, and they answered everything I asked. They shared many things about Christianity with me. They really got me thinking.

So far in my life, I know this has been the best thing to happen to me. I can barely describe all the many marvelous things that I have been exposed to, but I know that they have changed the way I look at life.

With this life change of mine, I have lately had the urge to help others, especially my family, to learn the things I have learned. I want my home to be full of things that are characteristic of a Christian disciple. The problem was that I didn’t know where to go to find things like that because they don’t sell Christian resources at just any store.

Much to my relief, there are a whole bunch of small retailers that sell only Christian themed products for people like me. There are supplies for children and adults. Among other things, there is Jesus artwork, church bulletins, and stationary. In fact, I went to my local Christian store recently and I couldn’t believe all the things that they had there.

If you can’t get to a physical location, don’t fear. The internet provides access to all the best Christian stores whether they are near you or not. If I can’t find what I need for some reason, I know I will be able to find it on the website. And when you go online, you might find something that the physical location never would have carried.

Life has changed for me ever since I became a Christian. I just have a different take on life. Now my home is filled with the sort of things that bring my family together under one set of values. I always thank my neighbors for introducing me to such an important thing. I don’t know if I will ever be able to pay them back.
