Reply To: The Sacredness of Rituals,” by Kristina Dryža”
Stephen,
I also use breath as a part of my meditation ritual. It is a “way station” on the journey to “no thought.” I find it very hard to achieve the blank mind that is aware of nothing, not even breathing. I believe that it is in that no thought zone the we can be open to realizing our oneness with God and thus all creation. I don’t know if or when this will happen, but I will “stay with the program” (ritual).
