What Is Meditation?

This contemplation explores the "definition" of Meditation. Starting with common complaints while practicing meditation, we contemplate the implied definition in those complaints leading us to get clarity on what Meditation is NOT. Thoughts, emotions, perceptions, sensations are not a problem in meditation. The more we wrestle with any of them, the more it bothers us. Instead, we come up with an experiential definition of Meditation captured by the imagery of sitting on the banks of the river.
