other people who energizes I'm a a foreign skeptic trial lawyer I don't take eloy very well I don't suffer fools lightly even of often like foolish and but I think meditation really has something for even the most practical skeptical people in the world like myself in fact I think the trial bar would be much better off if we all meditated I really do I know we would in fact it might be a good idea to meditate in the courtroom and calm things down I'm rock connected you know and we are committed to an is about to leave stood out to me aspects of you know me not one that allows me to look at life

for everyone in it was able to or desires to continue with with meditation is this desire to make yourself a better person on whether it's mental healing emotional healing physical healing but it I think it's often tied up into a healing contact the way it is for me they can actually Scholl meditating mind versus a mind that is not meditating mind simply shuts down and during that period full-dress every super 8 San re bills itself so that when we come out of meditation feel refreshed in where more ready for the world when all it and all that it brings to its involvement we get pulled in so many directions in our lives and its is sometimes hard to know which is the right path to us you know because they're competing forces around us everybody wants us to to take care than everybody wants us to to do whatever they have in their minds butts to be able to sit and think this is where a minute that manage because that's me that really resonates with me that's who I am the other things a secondary this this one right here this is what I'm gonna do that comes because you have taken the time to sit silently and find that voice inside you the I'll the idea of like when you're gonna fall asleep and they tell you to come cheap me in meditation the fact that you took the time to come cheap youth deviated you no longer focusing on one thing now you've taken your mind away from the focus on your breath the focus on your meditation now you're focusing on sheep jumping over a fence or something else so you'd deluded the whole purpose the meditation process itself is a process from going from me outer to the in there our entire life Ford Focus outward our job our friends our livelihood it's appalling outward focus your I'll taking what I call of a journey to the wonderful world with it and 0 you interpret what you see there what you feel their and I'll it's not a matter of controlling it and guiding it to where it wants to go it kind of takes you to where you need to go oh when we focus outward we all know that its 0 it takes effort and it's tiring and the meditation process simply is reversing that outer focused to an inward focus win your consciously thinking of something and then you come back to your graph that changeover is is where the growth begins to take place what happens is that the time that your mind is focused on your breath increases while after time a meditation I'll the time that you're mind wonders are you are just flitting around 0 that decreases so that overtime and the balance changes completely so thatin there'll be times that you meditate and another for more groomer the when we change that energy from outwitted split-second just that 1000 number sec it begins to slow the mind downed your repetition my mind becomes lines minute really doesn't take that long for one minute a day are for 10 minutes a day were not worried about the world and its outward energies we're focusing inward to repair our truce sound our heart our sole our visit I'll being on every level where the growth takes place is in there changeover from the conscious to the unconscious cuz have a my only four the fact and in this in the in the same way that any arm pleasurable experience is self-reinforcing and and lead you to want to come back and repeated I think that's true meditation I get a.com I get a peacefulness I get a focus I've heard people say that it's almost addictive are it become so peaceful and so-called that once you get there in the first time you hit it most people say this is work why did you take me so warm to find this place and once they found that waz within themselves thinking go there anytime meditation on dad is very basic for me is eighty desire to it's almost the the Serenity Prayer to accept the things which I cannot change and and is you know the wisdom to know the difference up what I can and cannot change and it's that it's that fact that gives me almost that that I see a world which should change because I would like to make it a better place and but but I myself to not change those things that I need to know where I can be helpful and where I can't be for me I had a come to the understanding

keeps ask him1 moving along in our lives it keeps us from enjoying the moment from being1 mindful1 he keeps his and mindfulness the first step is to get beyond morrow1 once we get beyond my we start to make the seasons with her1 art hi now this is the transformation that's happening1 today this is1 directory cells love the meditation process1 where people are people and treat others as1 well its respect ourselves its whole new1 human it's being created1 through these various spiritual process1 when I was younger I was judgmental and1 and perhaps I continue to be judgmental and1 a you know hard on people this kind of thing and I don't want to be that way1 I i want to accept people places and things1 at their level in which they're coming to me and so I want I die I'm1 me too and set up giving my information out to you is who I am and what I am1 I would like to stop me and accept1 you and to really look at you would pay attention to you so1 its end and that's the other thing is pain

with out all that increments without all the car confirmed that goes around1 so meditation brings us beyond the1 vicious cycle fly to1 a peaceful quiet place where we can then look at our1 other life and hopefully1 change things the sound to the car horns1 does sounds everyday life we learned1 not to block them out but we don't here's a minute1 the whole idea of meditation is to get beyond the Act mine1 actually to put it another way we need to step out of the way1 and were interfering with our system1 and its ability to carry on its necessary phones1 if we can just take our mind1 set it aside the body knows what to do1 and it will heal itself to this1 quiet times through this process 01 well love with then1 know that Excel1 crisis Buddha and all the other great teachers1 great spiritual teachers all delivered the same message1 meditation is that the route if all of them1 just like a little current me year you know1 and I lives is so busy that we miss it1 historically people who want to teach meditation1 just bring the historical context outta you know the the Jewish tradition for us1 to say well you know the rabbis a1 you know the 808 a century would do it meditate this way and you can too1 and and so I I think it's perhaps in an effort to popularize meditation but1 whatever whatever gets one you know to the gate1 you know I'm I'm forms meditation1 is really something that anybody who is a Christian or Muslim or Jew neediest1 whatever1 in there daily life for our weekly1 life should not fear that this is in any way it compatible or inconsistent with1 their other

religious1 there's no doctrine there's no buddy here1 tell you what to believe a and1 it's really a method to process more than it is1 and ideology everybody is in a different wavelength everybody's moving1 in another direction that's right for them1 in their culture you are by1 going inward actually going outward seeing the connection1 feeling the connection with the whole universe in that sense it's something1 like1 buddhist above kinda like the Buddhist idea1 you know were all interconnected and if I1 you know blown a butterfly here it may affect1 another butterfly around the rest of the world1 to drop the religious trappings I think would make it much more1 available to people it doesn't need to have that1 because that's not what it is it doesn't have anything to do with got1 you know it has to do with us1 are1 closely I thing we become more tolerant1 because we're not thinking with ego like Bihar1 I mean p.m. feelings for every girl1 so there when we am feeling in those1
