That way is here in the present moment. That way is found by guiding our attention back to the present moment when it wanders away from it. Gently. And repeatedly. That way is found by reconnecting with our breath and our bodily experience—sights, sounds, and sensations—again and again. That way is found by establishing new habits of mind.

And how can we do that?

We can meditate.

Meditation is the training of our minds to dwell more fully and frequently in the present moment. It is an act that we can practice—much as one practices the piano or a foreign language—in order to strengthen our skills in experiencing and staying in the present moment. In doing so, we quiet our minds and relax our bodies; we more easily tap into the natural happiness, peace, and ease that is within us; and we lessen the desire to be anywhere other than right where we are.
