I'd compare it to playing scales on the Cello - each sound (pitch and intensity) depends on the manner in which you hold and apply the bow. The same goes for the gesture of applying paint to a surface.” SoundMeditationPaintingDependsPaintSurfaceScalesCompareIntensityGesturesBowsPhysicality Author:Stephen Beal
“The greatest help to spiritual life is meditation. In meditation we divest ourselves of all material conditions and feel our divine nature. We do not depend upon any external help in meditation.
