Blessing must arise from within your own mind. It is not something that comes from outside. When the positive qualities of your mind increase and the negativities decrease, that is what blessing means. The Tibetan word for blessing … means transforming into magnificent potential. Therefore, blessing refers to the development of virtuous qualities you did not previously have and the improvement of those good qualities you have already developed. ― Dalai Lama XIV

Stillness - Ecstasy Rolling in to your Feet
You do not need to leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. Do not even listen, simply wait. Do not even wait, be quite still and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked, it has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at you feet. Franz Kafka
"The mind not distracted is present with things as they are. Sensations, sights, sounds, thoughts, mental moods, all of these phenomena are happening in the present, continually arising and disappearing. An entry point into stillness is a moment where the mind is not drifting or distracted with the constantly changing nature all around. It doesn't matter if you're driving on the freeway or sitting in a cave." (Michele McDonald & thanks to Tami Buckley Baumgartner)

.Anatoly Petrenko: In silence I notice the weaver of my world and then the life itself — the gift of breath...
Ron Alexander: Like Ra, I need my formal sitting to get to ecstasy regularly!Donna Stead: Yes love the time on the cushion! Pure Bliss :)Anatoly Petrenko: Meditation gives me empirical evidence in transforming my mental habits, which is a sense of self. And then there are moments when even self is released into suchness.
Meditation is an essential ingredient of a wisdom vehicle:
LEARNING —>CONTEMPLATION—>MEDITATION=WISDOM
