I started meditation one nite after I read some Bible verses and was smoking a joint. I thought ' I just want to shut my eyes and rest in these thoughts for a while. '

Shortly after I started reading about meditation and found the Buddhist approach very inline with how I was trying to proceed with my life and the meditation tech. was so approachable.

For the sake of telling my door opening to sitting story as well.
