Meditation has had a HUGE impact on my life, and pretty much is the main reason I’m even alive today. I want to write about how amazing meditation is, but I just don’t know if I’ve quite reached the point in my life where I’m ready to do so. I think people would be way better off reading Eckhart Tolle and Ken Willber.

I’m still working on getting a bunch resources together and writing some awesome blogs though. Hopefully soon.

Really? 99 percent never meditate? It just seems so natural to me... I don't even want to imagine my life without meditation.
You captured that feeling of nirvana when everything clicks into place... beautiful.

Thanks for your comments KFDay, I'm glad you like my work. I did some more research into how many people meditate, and it turns out that about 8 percent of people have meditated in the last year, according to one poll I read. I was more referring to "deep meditative states" that take practice to get into, and are amazing.

That's really cool that you meditate as well. I definitely can't imagine my life without it either.

Very nice.

Is that what meditating feels like if you have spent enough time with it? I've only done very simple, beginner meditating.

(Sorry for the late reply) In a way I think mediation does feel like this. Mostly I just wanted to create a really stunning piece of art that would cause a viewer to "take pause" for a moment. That "space in our thoughts" that happens when we see a really amazing piece of art, it the essence of what meditation is all about. Basically just bringing yourself ever more fully into the Now.

I've been meditating for one to six hours a day for the last 10 years (usually just 1 or two hours though, lol.) I need to get some resources together soon, and update the comment on this piece. That's really cool you've done some meditating Rawglor. Thank you for your comment on this (and several of my other pieces which I haven't responded to yet.)
