Since there are so many forms of meditation, I have decided to focus on one of the lesser known, that being Daoist Meditation. (By the way, Daoist is spelled with a D or with a T, Taoist. Both are correct.) I have pulled some interesting quotes from an article by Solala Towler, a well known and well respected Daoist teacher.
Daoist meditation is often called Embracing the One or Returning to the Source. There is much about it that is mystical and may at first seem hard to understand for the beginner. But then again, as Daniel Reid so aptly puts it:
“There is nothing mysterious or magical about such meditation. It is as precise, practical and effective an exercise for the mind as push-ups are for the body and breathing is for energy.”
