Meditation is simply concentrated awareness. If you are interested in practicing meditation, you must learn how to develop your concentration through Samatha or Vipassana meditation. On the other hand, after learning how to develop your awareness or mindfulness, you can do Vipassana or Insight meditation.

If you are interested in making use of the samatha meditation in your daily life, then learn to apply concentration in your daily life. If you are interested in making use of this vipassana meditation, then learn to apply awareness to your daily life. Living meditation is simply developing and making use of concentrated awareness in the common experiences and events of your daily life.
