meditation 101

Have you every stopped – tuned everything out and tried to clear your mind? I can’t believe the mindless drool that will sometimes pop in my head: “I wonder if the first Super Bowl commercial after kick off will be Budweiser”…. “What’s the deal with French fries? How can something so right be so bad for you???” Or more importantly, what is the meaning of life? Meditation is the practice of not so much clearing the mind, but focusing on each thought that passes through and not reacting positive or negative – Naturally add a neutral label and let it pass on – slowly after much practice, your mind will clear and become stronger with clarity and space. Soon your inner voice will speak – wisdom from the soul – it takes time and practice, but meditation is a wonderful way to find peace and enlightenment in this sometimes chaotic life. Try it; keep at it, and soon the benefits will reveal themselves.
