Meditation Works. So Says (Neuro)Science.

Apparently, we now have scientific evidence that meditation is good for us. While I don't meditate myself, some of the things in the article I read really struck me.

It said that we indulge in 'too much frantic doing' and 'not enough being'. I completely agree. Most times when I've felt stressed are when I've focused too much on getting someplace (physically or otherwise) where I'm not. When I've been obssessed about getting to the destination rather than just enjoying the journey.

In fact, that is one of my many life philosophies now. The journey has become the destination.

Ajeya,
Meditation is such a big part of my life. It keeps my spirit tuned. I would highly recommend it. You can also try mini meditations (5 -10 minutes) and see how you feel afterwards. Try it.

Sure. Would love to. How does one do a mini-meditation?
