Trying to rise from your everyday mind to the purer tone of meditation without a ramp is like trying to get your car from street level to the first story of a parking garage without a ramp.

The problem was that you didn’t have a ramp. nnGet a RampnStep 3 A ramp can be any form of preparation for meditation. It provides the key to **really wanting** to meditate by making it attainable.
