With the birth of quantum physics, we now know that nothing is solid and everything is energy. How might that effect how one feels about death.. the ultimate separation from the physical. After a lifetime of identifying with ones body, and possibly even more to our loved ones physical selves, how can a fearless attitude toward death occur?

That is the thought that preoccupied me during a recent Saturday morning group meditation. As I sat comfortably in my friends beautifully appointed living room, completing the circle of dedicated women willing to pursue a practice together, I thought to myself.. here we are striving to leave our bodies, when millions of others are screaming to stay in theirs.

If, in fact, we believe that we are not our bodies, as quantum physics proves, perhaps meditation, especially guided meditation, could function as training wheels for all of humanity to prepare for the final separation from the physical world. Dipping our toes in the water before the big dive, so to speak.
