Zitat des Tages über Meditation:

I know there's millions of problems in the world, but if you dwell on those, then you're going to be miserable.

Singing is a form of meditation... apparently the only one that I have command over.

Prayer is more than meditation. In meditation, the source of strength is one's self. When one prays, he goes to a source of strength greater than his own.
I do get up in the morning and I try to spend at least half an hour meditating and reading something spiritual. I start my day with meditation and prayer, and I truly believe that all the stuff you do on the outside isn't as important as what you do on the inside.

When you fit meditation into your day, you bring much more of yourself to all the other hours of your day - you bring your whole self rather than your stressed-out self.
If you truly get in touch with a piece of carrot, you get in touch with the soil, the rain, the sunshine.
