Simplicity is an acquired taste. Mankind, left free, instinctively complicates life. Here are a few ways to help slow things down, and give ourselves time to remember who we are and what's really important in our lives. A brief daily meditation, even for just 15 minutes, is your chance to turn off the rest of the world and listen to yourself. Our fast-paced modern lifestyle delivers a steady barrage of information, obligation and responsibility.
Meditation clears the mind and relaxes the body.
Meditation does not require incense, mandalas, mantras or the perfect lotus position. It only requires you to be comfortable, quiet and to try to clear your mind. Try to meditate every day, even if only for a few minutes. The benefits are cumulative. Choose a quiet space where you won't be disturbed.
