Why “Total” Meditation?
If someone asked me what to expect from meditation, I’d reply, “Anything and everything.” Meditation involves transformation. It affects every aspect of your well-­being and can bring about positive change in your body, affect your mental outlook, increase your decision-­making ability, and eliminate worry and anxiety. Meditation techniques are numerous—­they can take you in a hundred different directions—­but at heart they aim to answer one not so obvious question: Can existence take care of itself? If the answer is no, then all the struggle and frustration that enters everyday life is justified. You believe that nothing and no one are going to take care of you except yourself. That is why you are under so much stress.
However, if the answer is yes, a new life awaits everyone. The idea that existing—­just being here right now—­can bring fulfillment sounds objectionable, almost alien.

In an average lifetime the heart beats a billion times, a prospect that baffles the mind, especially if you think of the heart as a machine that must keep pumping blood seamlessly without a glitch. No computer can be turned on a billion times and no airplane take off a billion times without the risk, or even certainty, of mechanical failure.
