Meditation is a process of lightening up, of trusting the basic  goodness of what we have and who we are, and of realizing that  any  wisdom that exists, exists in what we already have. We can lead our life so as to become more awake to who we are and what we’re  doing rather than trying to improve or change or get rid of who we  are or what we’re doing. The key is to wake up, to become more  alert, more inquisitive and curious about ourselves.
