Sure, I understand, meditation isn't for everyone. It helped me enormously. I tend towards a very anxious mind and I needed to learn how to calm myself. Despite tremendous resistance on my part, I finally was convinced to try it and it did wonders for me. It was a part of a bio feedback program that I tried (to help my chronic migraines). The idea here is to give Jake as many options as possible. And I agree, time always works best.
Big hugs to my homestate of CT... it's been almost 2 years since I got transferred and my heart is stil broken...
