Greetings, everyone. Great reminder.
Isn't it interesting that being something so simple, free and private, most people find it impossible to meditate?
It's like being asked to close our eyes or do something silly in a public place.
I guess, meditation has suffered the stigma of many practices associated to some form of exotic/non-mainstream religion, which prevents people from embracing it in its purest form, without any particular attachment to organized religions of cults.
I do not meditate as often as i should, but i learned some basic breathing excercises many years ago during a human development workshop and it has been very useful to combat stress and lack of focus. I built an audio library around this idea that we needed to break with the crazy everyday urban routine and connect with nature and with our inner self.
I am myself still surprised at how easily we can relapse into disconnection.
