The word “meditation” can conjure up anything from the mundane - “I meditated on my first cup of coffee”, to the ethereal - “What does it mean that I see lights when I meditate?” to the practical - “How can I quiet my thoughts when I’m trying to sleep?”

I'll be addressing some of each, with emphasis on the practical.

On Sunday mornings, I will post an entry on one of these areas:

• Practical applications
• Techniques
• Guided meditation
• Musings about meditations
• Resources

This coming Sunday, Jan. 10, look for “Fundamentals of Setting Up a Meditation
Practice.” We don’t make our minds meditate any more than we can make ourselves sleep.

Learn how simple it can be.

Please contact me with any questions, experiences, comments about meditation. How has it served you? What are your challenges? As a mental health professional, an owner of a fitness studio, a writer and a wife, mother and grandmother, I have found meditation to be helpful in every aspect of my life.
