Oprah and Deepak Chopra are offering a free 21 day meditation program. It seems to be a very good way to try out meditation if you are interested. Today is day 2 but they allow you to go back 5 days.
Meditation is a great way to quiet your mind and relax.....:thumbsup:

Although I am finding it is not easy to sit still with a quiet mind!

I love it, G! Looking forward to session 3 this afternoon.
I can see that meditation is a great tool for the sober toolbox.
Today maybe I will remember to turn off the "classic rock" music downstairs before I try it again! That might help! :sohappy:

I'm in trying it too! I've always on again off again done mindfulness so I think this will be right up my alley.

It's a great way to quiet the monkey chatterbox 1000 radio stations at once noise that is my head sometimes! lol. If i can put space between me and my thoughts, and just focus on my breath and/or a mantra for, in this case around 10 minutes a day, i reckon it's a good way to start the day.

Looking forward to the next one. G

It is a nice program, really enjoying it! Not sure what mindfulness IS, but signed up for a course at the local community college, so hope to find out!

I have that chatterbox goin' on too, and like to quiet the thoughts after work. Seems like a great de-stress tool, and looking forward to tonight's session!

Rahul, I read that book too; I heard about it from someone on MWO, I don't remember who.

I enjoyed it, tried to start my day out with a bit of mindful meditation, oh so easily we forget these wonderful ideas and techniques!

I do, however, have a new introspection for people like Harris and Deepak; even if Deepak has a self- help market with the rich and famous, I still enjoy his free resources. I.e, you can look up 'deepak' meditation stations on iTunes Radio and pandora. He has a very soothing, calming voice.

Hi Over it. Don't reckon it matters. No right or wrong with meditation to me. Git into it when and where you can. :thumbsup:

Day 5 done.

Hi Overit,
You won't miss anything jumping in on Monday. Just do the days you can. The days don't build on each other, they are standalone.
It is a very nice program, very relaxing. Day 5 done also!
