suppose you read about a pill
that you could take once a day to
reduce anxiety and increase your contentment.
would you take it?
suppose further that the pill
has a great variety of side effects,
all of them good: increased self-esteem,
empathy, and trust; it even improves memory.
suppose, finally, that the pill is
all natural and cost nothing.
now would you take it? the pill exist.
it is M E D I T A T I O N.

i came to my meditation practice when my kids were really young and
i found myself so anxious about everything about motherhood.
i stumbled upon the wisdom of eckhart tolle through his book the power of now
and i was immediately convinced about taking up the practice.
i was inspired by the way he would meditate on a flower or a tree, on a park bench.

more than sixteen years later...
i'm still working hard on this daily practice of focusing my mind/thoughts/attention.
slowly but surely, i'm increasing my ability to maintain that focus.
do it my friends...just do it !!!
it really is a magic pill free for the taking !!!
