Thank you Stephen for sending this to be posted in the Corner.
Meditation is a quality; it can be brought to anything.
It is not a specific act. People think that way, they think meditation is a specific act - when you sit facing to the east, you repeat certain mantras, you burn some incense, you do this and that at a particular time in a particular way with a particular gesture.
Meditation has nothing to do with all those things
.
They are all ways to automatize it and meditation is against automatization.
So if you can keep alert, any activity is meditation; any movement will help you immensely.
