Mindfulness facilitated by the practice of breath-focused meditation is the essence of one's own inner transformation. Becoming aware of our senses leads to our understanding of self. Self-awareness leads to freedom. One's own knowledge is ever evolving, so to say 'this is the way, the only way, the right way' is to view and understand life as static. The truth is, life is fluid. Understanding is fluid and moves around, over, under, and sometimes even through obstacles to gain further knowledge. A static mind travels only as far as a static obstacle arises, and then stops as it comes in contact with its enclosure. A truly free mind experiences freedom in all directions, simultaneously gaining the necessary knowledge to find one's ultimate truth.
