Eastern Meditation has it’s handbooks, it’s rituals, it’s methods, its’s mantras.  So too there is advice galore in Western traditions on how to reflect better and to better purpose.  No charismatic with global reach yet has arisen to codify it into a ‘teaching’ – but THAT does not invaliate Reflection or the ways there are of doing it better.  It’s time is coming.  Just as Meditation caught on, so too will Reflection – given half a chance.

‘Reflection’ is studied in universities and in training for many professions. It is not just something that people do ‘without thinking’.  Its value is recognised and there are ways of improving how to do it.
