Once we are taught how to meditate well, it is relatively easy to be mindful, present and calm throughout our daily life. The more we practice the better our concentration and with that the clearer our insights into oneself and the world as it appears around us.

It is very helpful then to be able to see through our more self defeating states of mind and find new more joyful inners states with which to engage the world.
