Transition

When you meditate think of it as filling your heart with a precious ointment.  You don’t want to spill the ointment, but rather let it seep into your entire body.  Therefore, when you finish your meditation time, don’t jump up right away and get busy, but rather move slowly into the next right thing you are supposed to do.  Allow the ointment of the meditation to flow into and over your next activity.  If you are going to exercise, gently stretch a little.  Don’t jump up and run or bike or whatever.  You want the ointment of mediation to flow, not spill.  Spilling makes a mess. You meditate so that your life won’t be a mess.
