Meditation is turning off society and listening to yourself. It only works when done for its own sake. Hiking is walking meditation. Journaling is writing meditation. Praying is gratitude meditation. Showering is accidental meditation. Sitting quietly is direct meditation.

The closer you are to the truth, the more silent you become inside.

The advantage of meditation is recognizing just how out of control your mind is.
