I read this article about Transcendental Meditation – a “no-frills mantra-based meditation” – by Marisa Meltzer, The New York Times.
Plus, I came across these two great quotes today:
“Meditation is a powerful tool. If we were standing in your physical shoes, we would meditate on a regular basis for the sweet relief of a quiet mind. There is no better way of stopping the momentum of something unwanted, and to allow the momentum of something wanted, than to meditate – other than getting a full night’s sleep.” – Abraham Hicks

“If you haven’t felt any results from religion, experiment in meditation. Shake God out of His silence. You must insist: ‘Lord speak to me!’…Experimenting to know God in meditation, in silence, brings the most real, most remarkable results.” – Paramahansa Yogananda
