Whenever I am tense or overwhelmed with the responsibilities of life I can turn to mediation for a few moments to clarify my thoughts and enter a place of peace. This world is filled with anxiety, worry and frustration.
Negative forces surround, especially on TV with the daily bad news playing into our fears.
Meditation can bring us lasting peace. We crave meditation because we have an inner hunger for quiet in our soul. We are body, mind and soul and yet the soul part of us is usually neglected. Meditation requires conscious effort. The mind must be calm and quiet to benefit from the few minutes you take to meditate.
