Meditation doesn't have to be complicated. What I do is about as simple as you can get. You could just count the beads, one, two, three, with your eyes closed or open, whatever makes you happy.

More quotes by Lou Reed
If it has more than three chords, it's jazz.
Lou Reed
Speaking in a common tongue, speaking through guitars and drums.
Lou Reed
But I found tai chi when I was studying with Leung Shum, who teaches Eagle Claw and Wu Hao.
Lou Reed
I like druggy downtown kids who spray paint walls and trains. I like their lack of training, their primitive technique. I think it hurts you, when you stay too long in school.
Lou Reed
As the dead rise to live, the live sink to die, the currents are deep and raging inside.
Lou Reed
When critics ask you if you feel vindicated by other critics - I didn't like critics then, and I don't like them now. There you go. I've always been outside the mainstream, and it stayed that way.
Lou Reed
You can't beat two guitars, bass, and drums.
Lou Reed
I'm tearing down Route 80 East, the sun's on my right side. I'm drunk, but my vision's good.
Lou Reed
I've become completely well adjusted to being a cult figure.
Lou Reed
If someone teaches you alignment and - I'm not a tai chi expert by any stretch - so interviewing me about tai chi is kind of the cart before the horse - but just from my point of view as a student, it's simply that Master Ren can show you the relationship of power, stance and form.
Lou Reed
Eve kissed Able, that's how he got murdered by Cain.
Lou Reed
Between thought and expression lies a lifetime.
Lou Reed
It's depressing when you're still around and your albums are out of print.
Lou Reed
She never ever lost her head even when she was giving head.
Lou Reed
All the people have gone to war leaving no interrogator to mind.
Lou Reed
As you practice things, you get better. I mean I've worked very hard on changing my life and taking what is good about it and trying to jettison the things I think were not good about it. I think the key word is discipline, focus. I'm always working at it, but I'm not always successful.
Lou Reed
I don't mind a repetitive chorus I mind repetitive verse. I mean, it's the same amount of space. Why would you have only three diamonds if you can have six?
Lou Reed
But it's not only: What are you going to do about touring, it's: What are you going to do with your life? Is there a point to what we do? I think there is. Making music, creating beautiful things. We have to be in love with the good and the beautiful. If we are not, then you're in a nihilistic state.
Lou Reed
I mean, there are peripheral things I do, I do photography, I write plays, I have books published, but that's neither here not there.
Lou Reed
You're a musician: You play. That's what you do.
