Take a deep breath, and relax . . .

Ever wondered about meditation? Ever wondered if you could actually sit still for more than 5 minutes to understand what it means to "be still"? Ever wondered why so many people are meditating now more than ever? What's the big deal?

A very large part of Yoga practice is meditation and because of my background I am very familiar with it. I've been to silent meditation classes for hours on end. I admit it's been a while, but I've done it and I know how wonderful it can be. It's tranformational, actually. Meditation also provides you with knowledge about yourself that you may not learn if you don't take the time to be still and listen.

I've gathered some wonderful websites to give you an understanding of exactly what meditation is, its history, how to do it and its benefits. Enjoy and happy meditating!!
