		<title>Accepting Your Meditation Just As It Is</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, I read an interesting quotation by the American poet and educator, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882). He wrote: For after all, the best thing one can do when it is raining is to let it rain.  We have absolutely no control over the weather; all we can do is manage how we respond to the [...]]]></description>

		<title>MEDITATION &#8211; Simple Doesn&#8217;t Mean Easy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I learned how to meditate 22 years ago, it seems so simple – just focus on my breath. And I also believed that if something was simple it would also be easy. Boy, was I ever wrong.  As I think about it now, a simple diet plan doesn’t mean it’ll be easy for me [...]]]></description>

		<title>Reasons You Should Keep Meditating</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ When I teach meditation, I always get questions as to the benefits of meditation. Below is a list of benefits that science researchers, MDs, and long-term meditators have found. I’ve just copied and pasted one of the slides that I use in these talks. What’s important to realize is that none of these benefits come [...]]]></description>

		<title>I Want To Meditate NOW</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Most people, myself included, begin meditating to become a happier person and to create a more peaceful and fulfilling life. Of course, many of us want it all NOW. It’s Ok if meditation’s going to be difficult the first one or two times, but more than that it’s really irritating. I’m not meditating to get [...]]]></description>

		<title>Perfect Meditation?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I began meditating 20 years ago to fix my imperfections. Of course, meditation didn’t go smoothly or perfectly, so I felt even more damaged and imperfect. Not a pleasant place to be – the very tool to make me feel good about myself was making me feel worse.  Over these years of struggle, meditation worked [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Mindfulness of Self-Compassion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Like most human beings, I like pleasant things and dislike unpleasant ones. In fact, I used to really, really hate feeling yucky – “what’s wrong with me that I have these horrible feelings?” Over time, with mindfulness meditation, I’ve learned to make peace with the myriad of unpleasant thoughts, feelings, and sensations that assail me.

		<title>I Am Of The Nature To Get Sick</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hello everyone. Please forgive me for disappearing from this blog. In January, I came down with H1N1 (swine flu) in London. It took me 10 days before I could fly home and only now have I gotten my life back together. I want to share with you how grateful I am for my insight/mindfulness practice [...]]]></description>

		<title>BREATHE IN PEACE AND BREATHE OUT LOVE</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We all have different learning styles. This blog may be a perfect fit for those who prefer to learn by reading. The instructions I’ve given recently on Loving-Kindness might be a good fit for auditory learners because we internally “hear” the well-wishing. “May I feel safe. May I feel happy. May I feel healthy. May [...]]]></description>

		<title>LovingKindness Meditation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When we practice lovingkindness, traditionally, we recite phrases of well-wishing to ourselves. We might feel loving, or we might not. We might feel kind, or we might not. If you don&#8217;t feel particularly kind or loving, then you have to proceed on faith. In mindfulness, faith has a different meaning than it does in traditional [...]]]></description>
