Re: Live in the Moment/ Meditation

[Guest guest]

Joann,

Regarding mediation, my life coach has an interesting insight. He is a martial

arts master and is well versed in Eastern philosophies. He maintains that the

problem with Westerners trying to meditate is that we are told to clear our

minds or turn them off, but that is impossible. The idea is to recognize a

thought when it comes up, acknowledge it, and shrug it off. The more we focus

on what we don't want, ie: the thoughts, the more we get it.

I have found the most success in meditation while walking, swimming, and sitting

out under the full moon. Now I just need to do that more often!
