Meditation as a Tool

"Meditation is a microcosm, a model, a mirror.  The skills we practice when we sit are transferable to the rest of our lives." Sharon Salzberg

Meditation is a good way to see the content of our minds.  Another technique is to notice, at any given time, what your thought content is.  I have heard it said that what one thinks about most is their God.  If that is true, it behooves us to think thoughts that are supportive of ourselves and others.
