Vipassana meditation teacher Joseph Goldstein says that through meditation, we learn to alter the relationship between our consciousness and our experience.  What that means to me at the moment is creating more spaciousness in both my consciousness and my experience – the ability to see the spaces between the layers of whatever is unfolding.  Currently, I am meditating on the back of a horse.  I am letting the horse show me when I have lost my softness, my willingness, my openness.  Breathing room.  Feeling.
