I do try to meditate daily, whether it’s a conscious effort or through doing art projects or knitting. Just me, silence, and a repetitive project can yield a surprising difference in my day. I’m trying sneaky ways to teach my kids meditation by having mandalas out to color. It always seems to calm them down.
Thanks for your comment, Trish. I agree, knitting or art can be quite meditative since they require focused concentration. I love that you’re finding a way to help your kids benefit from meditation too. What a great idea!
meditate – nope. But I did thoroughly enjoy Jill Bolte Taylor’s TED speech. Great stuff.
I’ll check out that speech. Thanks!
