Meditation is not exclusive to a personal closed eye session, life is in itself meditation. As an experiment try to refrain from using words when your mind starts craving information processing(linguistic chatter) for 3 minutes... If you can do this ... Congratulations you are able to exercise control over your mind. Be light, process your experience without dragging the weight of symbols and words into your consciousness,. Thinking without words, you'll find it useful to realize that your stomach doesn't speak English yet it clearly communicates hunger for nutrition. Consulting the soul strictly through the avenue of words is what splits emotion from thought, creating a schism in the mind, rendering it mad and fanatical. Wake Up and Stay Conscious :)
