The first time I sat still and didn't fight it.
I know what it's like to sit down to meditate, close your eyes, and immediately start composing your to-do list. I knew stillness was good for me. I just couldn't get there.
A friend invited me to a sound bath at Nobu Hotel. I almost didn't go. The first session was interesting. The second changed something. No dramatic moment, nothing transcendent. Something more ordinary and more useful. I walked into the room in my head, the way I always was. I walked out present. Quieter, not because I'd tried to be, but because something had done it for me.
That was new. I wanted more of it. Eventually, I wanted to give it to other people.
