“Like meditation, reading helps us expand our minds, connect more closely to ourselves, and gain understanding beyond our own experience. Both reading and meditation inspire new ideas, encourage creativity, and require active engagement. Without attentive, energized participation, books would be mere pages of printed words and meditation would be just a quiet moment spent with our eyes closed. Reading is, in many ways, a form of meditation – a practice that connects us to our inner wisdom.” – The Chopra Center (Source)
