**The meditations serve to recognize and understand more deeply who we are. We are not trying to make ourselves happier or more complete by looking outside of ourselves, but we recognize that these feelings are part of our nature.** **In the meditations, it is not about 'achieving' or accomplishing something, nor about pushing thoughts away.** **Awareness is part of our basic nature. The intention lies in recognizing this. The meditations give us a tool to become aware of our awareness and its qualities.** **Formal practice sessions are important, but it is also our concern to practice informally throughout daily life.** The meditations serve to recognize and understand more deeply who we are.
