Meditative Practices Quotes

“Everything we do can be a meditative practice if we use it as an opportunity to practice being present in the moment. Walking can be a meditation. Eating can be a meditation. Each is a profound experience that can become even more profound when we're fully present, when we feel every step, and taste every flavor.”
― Todd Perelmuter

― Raegan Robinson

“In sabikalpa samadhi the devotee has attained realization of his oneness with Spirit but cannot maintain his cosmic consciousness except in the immobile trance state.
