well i have meditating for a bit now and am still not sure what i am &lsquolistening’ for. i do know that i am better off, more centered and a whole lot less stressed when i find the time to meditate. and as in all things for me, it is all or nothing! so even when i am incapable of quieting the silly internal conversation that runs in my head non-stop, i still go through the motions of practicing meditation nearly every morning.
do i hear my Higher Power‘ when i meditate? quite possibly but i would be lying if i understood what was being said to me. i do know that the quality of my morning meditation is without a doubt improved with practice. i also know that i am not willing to stop meditating to see what happens.
i have become a bit more open-minded over the course of my recovery, and if those who were here before i got it, suggest that daily meditation is essential for maintaining my spiritual condition then i will continue my practice of it. after all the whole point of this journey is to become the man i was always meant to be.

Tao Te Ching

☯ The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao ☯

The Tao Teh King, or The Tao and Its Characteristics
by Lao-Tse
Translated by James Legge

Book 2

4) The perception of what is small is (the secret of) clear-sightedness;
the guarding of what is soft and tender is (the secret of) strength.
