See Through The Stress
Today you’re at the supermarket, in a bit of a hurry, and as you rush into the express checkout lane, you notice that the person in front of you has 21, no 22, items — isn’t it 15 items or less!? You feel the tendrils of anger reaching up into your neck as the physical…

Meditation Quote 76: “Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.” – Confucius

Graceful Living

Meditation Quote 75: “Life is a series of moments. The quality of attention and action…” – Dan Millman
We often find ourselves in a state of rush, stress and worry. Worrying about the future, regretting the past, and hurrying along to complete the next task.
