Dhyana/Samadhi
Meditation helps my mind to become more steady and focussed, like in the familiar analogy of allowing a glass of muddy water to settle and become clear. I can then start to see how my mind starts to create a sense of 'I' by jumping backwards and forwards in time, mulling over what people just said or did to me or rehearsing what I am going to say to them, (or anyone else who will listen) in the future. My meditation seems to consist mostly of relinquishing this pattern and returning to Now.
