Carve out some time to hear this session on mindfulness that Jon Kabat-Zinn led at Google. It is very, very relevant given the fast-paced lives we lead. As we run from one task to another, to cross each item off our to-do list, we need to find some rest and relaxation, some stillness, each day – no matter how much or how little time we have in any given day.
“Meditation is an act of love…an act of sanity…just to stop for a fraction of a second and drop…into being…” – Jon Kabat-Zinn
Hope you liked this session.
I couldn’t agree more! I try to find time to do yoga several times a week so that I can forget about the ‘crap’ and focus on the calm. Doesn’t always work though 😀
LOL! At least we try, right? 😉
I used to go to a meditation session, in my late teens early twenties… I thought it was rewarding. These days, I do not have time anymore :). Thanks for this… This is interesting.
It’s strange, isn’t it? I also used to meditate in my late teens and early twenties — an age at which you really don’t need to meditate. But now I find that I give myself the excuse of “no time.”
I decided to start a weekly Spriritual Sunday blog post to ensure that I spent time with myself, meditating. Only if I do it myself can I find the material to share, right? 😀
I am a devotee of meditation and have been for a while. It’s an amazing way to calm your mind and for me, it inspires my writing.
I wanted to let thank you for stopping by my site. I have the first step of the process up for getting in shape. I know you said you were pretty far down that path, but I thought I would just let you know.

Thanks Kim, I’ll hop over to your blog and check it out! I may be far down the path to getting in shape, but I need a good kick in the butt from time to time to stick with it! 😉
