meditation was always a challenge because I was under the impression that I had to "do" meditation. And I didn't have time for another burdensome thing to "do." Fortunately, a friend pointed out one day that we don't "do" meditation; meditation "does" us. That opened the door for me. The only thing to "do" in meditation is nothing.
