Guy Finley explains that we meditate because we want to be in touch with a world within ourselves that isn’t subject to the vagaries and whims of the outer world or even our own thoughts and feelings. By establishing a relationship with this stillness within, we are able to remain authentically impersonal to any disturbance that moves through us, and can act from what is loving and compassionate instead.
