Thinking to knowing

"How does one know if he is really meditating or not?" That's a question that a lot of people who meditate ask themselves.

When you begin to know, having left the process of thinking, you are meditating at that point.

Of course, when we are aware in the thought area, we are not meditating. We're in the intellectual area of the mind. We have to breathe more deeply, control the breath more and move awareness out of the thought area of the mind, into that next inner area, where we begin to know. Such an experience supersedes thinking, and that is when meditation starts. I'm sure that you have experienced that many, many times.
