Conor Creighton
Conor Creighton came out of the womb chewing his fingernails. A
chaotic childhood saw his default mode set to 'generally miserable',
so he left home at 17, vowing never to return.The ensuing decades of
disorder resulted in chronic anxiety. At rock bottom, he signed up for
a ten-day silent meditation retreat. It was hell. His legs ached. His
butt felt like it was on fire. His mind threw at him a never-ending
collage of regrets, wants and realisations. Then, suddenly, for the
first time in nearly twenty years, he felt calm as relief and,
eventually, joy washed over him.He learned that meditation has just
one goal: to recognise that this is it. There is nothing else. No
desire to get anywhere or change or improve anything. When Conor
stopped trying to get somewhere or 'be someone' and realised that
this, and this alone, is it, his anxiety abated, he learned to like
himself and he discovered that he might even be happy.By remembering
that 'this is it' in uncomfortable times and in comfortable times,
your life can become a lot like meditation. In this highly
entertaining, refreshingly honest memoir and meditation guide, you'll
discover how.
