It's good to just make a habit of it - like breakfast.

Not a big thing, or a discipline we cannot measure up to. Take it easy, but make a basic commitment to building it into your life - even if just once a week.

Because that's fifty times in a year, and 500 times in a decade.

You notch up quite a bit of experience that way.

I'm not a meditation teacher or even a very good meditator, but I've been at it a long time, and here are a few thoughts and stories from my own way of doing it.

On Sunday evenings at 7pm GMT a group of us in different countries meditates together at the same time, wherever we are. We each do our own thing, but together, with a simple shared intent to raise the world's level an inch by doing so. If that interests you: www.palden.co.uk/meditations.html

The podcast is 34 minutes long. Recorded sitting by the stream on the farm in Cornwall. With love from me, Paldywan Kenobi.
