I like a moment or two's quietness, stilling the distractions, putting them into perspective, which is why I will always advocate a little meditation; as much in the good times as in the bad, everyone should have a little inner place to steal away to. How else are you going to be able to greet pressure gracefully?

What is gratifying is that there's burgeoning scientific evidence - the anecdotal has been around for probably millenia - that meditation really helps. Here's the story - take it easy

This makes sense to me...it works for me....
