Finding a special spot like a park bench out of doors can be a refreshing change of environment, adding depth and meaning to a monotonous work day. You can truly meditate anywhere. |  Cabin in the WoodsFinding a special outer space in our lives for meditation aids tremendously in discovering our inner space. When we meditate outdoors, we deepen our meditation practice as well as our appreciation for our environment.

Maybe just for a moment, you remind them that there is something more to their lives. Meditate anywhere. Everyone who sees you in meditation – wakes up! |

You shift your consciousness from the objectification of your food to becoming one with your food and the joyful experience of eating it. |
