Meditation is not all about sitting still and breathing.
That is certainly a form of meditation—a form that I greatly enjoy—but it’s not the only form. There are walking meditations, for those who don’t like to sit still. There are guided meditations, for those who lose focus in the quiet (I frequently use guided meditations [...]

As such, I’m already finding [...]
The New Year started out with a few challenges to my daily disciplines. I was momentarily worried that I’d be behind in the game right away!
After the previous night’s New Year’s Eve celebrations, I came to my girlfriend’s house. I’d packed some clothes earlier in the day and was ready to go. However, I’d [...]
