Thanks Gwen. Well, I certainly haven't mastered meditation yet! The instructor has been 'practicing' since the 1970s and she will tell you she hasn't mastered it yet either. But, it's not easy. It definitely HAS helped me over the last couple of years though. It does make a pretty big difference if you do it regularly. I just find I think more positively and don't do as much of the 'spinning' that we all talk about here, and I have more patience. It gave me a new way to look at things. If there is a class available near you, try it, at least for an introduction. Then you can do it on your own, if you want to. Some people like the 'group energy.' Boy. I can tell I've slacked off. Too bad the next 4-week session was cancelled!
